I never used to like brownies, but as I’ve got older (and started teaching!), it’s become another way of enjoying chocolate in my diet. Especially warmed up with ice cream. Is here a better dessert? I’m not sure there is!…
Christmas Pudding Bites
It’s almost Christmas, and I think this year many people are looking forward to it more than ever. I know that I am. The opportunity to spend time with a few family members is so appreciated after a long, challenging…
Slow-Cooked Pulled Chicken Fajitas
Last month I decided to invest in a slow cooker as I’m not usually a fan of meat, and I’ve heard lots of lovely things about slow-cooked meats. The tenderness, added flavour and convenience has so far impressed me and…
Baked Banana Breakfast Bars
As it starts to get a bit colder, I’ve got a little bored of the same old breakfasts. Last weekend I experimented with unripe, FODMAP friendly, bananas to make a breakfast snack. I’ve made banana bars in the past, but…
Halloween Iced Biscuits
It’s the night before Halloween, so I thought I’d share these fun to decorate, melt in the mouth, Halloween biscuits. I don’t usually celebrate Halloween, although this year I’m having a couple of friends over for cocktails (any excuse during…
Gluten Free Cheese Straws
I don’t know why it has taken me so long to share a gluten free cheese straw recipe, especially seeing as they used to be my favourite bakery item from Reeve’s the Baker in Winchester. I always remember having them…
Gluten Free Shortbread Biscuits
As we approach the end of the summer, I wanted to share a quick and easy recipe which is great for snacking on. These are going to particularly useful for when I’m back at work at the end of this…
Gluten Free Marble Cake
Last week, I really fancied making a cake as I don’t often buy gluten free snacks as they’re expensive, and I’d run out of sweet treats! I decided to make a marble cake! I’ve made Chocolate Marble Muffins before, but…
Low FODMAP Chicken Gravy
In all the years I’ve been following a low FODMAP diet, I have always struggled to make a gravy that tastes exactly as it should. As I cook for two of us, I never have any large joints of meat…
Red Velvet Cupcakes with a Cream Cheese Frosting
Last week I made these Red Velvet Cupcakes and they came out so much better than I’d anticipated. It was the first time baking with buttermilk (I made my own using lactose-free milk and lemon juice) and it gave a…
Gluten Free Scones
Happy bank holiday! It’s VE day today (and also David Attenborough’s birthday) so I thought I’d share my scone recipe to bake for the occasion. Perfect with jam and clotted cream straight out of the oven with a cup of…
Gluten Free Lemon Tart
The weather lately (despite the odd cloudy day or casual shower) has been beautiful. Despite the pandemic, we have been so fortunate that the sun’s been shining and we’ve had the chance to go out for a walk in the…
