Latest in the ‘easy gluten free recipes’ series: gluten free gingerbread.
Jamie had ginger flavoured icecream while we were on holiday last week. I was quite surprised, a) that it exited, and b) that he had chosen it, but he informed me that actually it was his most favourite taste in the world and he wished [...]

I’m so sorry that I haven’t blogged for ages! We have been away - on our first ‘proper’ holiday since Jamie was diagnosed with celiacs disease last June. It is hard to believe that this time last year we had a very sad and ill little boy with permenant tummy aches, exhaustion and weight loss. He [...]

Our first gluten free Easter! So that means no hot cross buns (which Jamie is not ever so happy about but will get over) and probably as much chocolate as ever! I have had to be careful to check the labels on the Easter eggs: some contain gluten, some don’t… but there are enough that [...]

This is one of those easy gluten free recipes that I use every week during the winter months. Quick to prepare (the emphasis really is on the ‘easy’), I like to put it all in the slo-cooker before I go to work and come back to a healthy ready meal which I don’t feel like I’ve [...]

a) She’s a kind hearted little person and wanted her brother to join in.
b) All my baking stuff is gluten free and I [...]

The old standby options (such as easy, wrapped chocolate biscuits) are no longer available, you [...]

One of the biggest questions we had when Jamie was first diagnosed with celiacs disease was ‘Should the whole family go gluten free?’ And it is a question that must be asked in any family where one member is diagnosed with celiacs.
Certainly there are advantages to this option: equally there are disadvantages. It is a question [...]

When your child is first diagnosed with celiacs disease, one of the biggest questions is ‘Should the whole family go gluten free?’
Certainly there are advantages to this option: equally there are disadvantages. It is a question that needs discussing and working through,preferably as a whole family, as everyone is affected, the earlier the better.
The first [...]

Another easy gluten free recipe. We have this one as often as I go to the fish market end of town! Jamie loves it. You do need some gluten free bread crumbs (which taste absolutely fine in this recipe) but if you don’t happen to have any in the house, these can be cheaply replaced [...]

Having blogged a few times about the mystery of Jamie’s ongoing tummy aches, despite my keeping of a thorough (I thought) food diary, and trying every remedy under the sun, I thought I should update you.
It was the tomato ketchup!
And yes, I have to take full responsibility and yes, I have been on the world’s biggest [...]
