Who says you have to pay £80 for a Gluten Free cake?

May 6, 2011

Some of my twitter followers will remember that last week I was looking for a gluten free cake for my son’s birthday. It’s not that I don’t make him cakes it was just that I wanted to treat him to one that looked professional and one that you could buy in a shop. He misses [...]

A few weeks ago a friend gave me a delicious spicy parsnip soup for lunch, so being me I had to try and recreate it. I think I managed it. It really is moreish and very filling. Remember that with soups it is easy to play around with the quantities so if there is something [...]

Roasted Vegetable Spaghetti

January 13, 2011

This is potentially gluten free and dairy free if you use gluten free/dairy free spaghetti. It is very low fat but also very tasty. I am not going to give measurements because it really depends on how many people you are feeding but it is just as good the next day if you have any [...]

Herby One Pot Chicken

January 7, 2011

We love this meal here, especially me. An all in one dinner equals one dish to wash up and nothing else! It’s quite popular with the children too. All measurements are approximate because I have a big family, two teenage boys eat the equivalent meals of four grown men so I throw in as much [...]
