We had a cold snap overnight and as such I write this post in the lounge with our first fire blazing in the fireplace. It’s not too cold but my dad did call to see if we wanted to bail the farmhouse and stay there tonight. I laughed and put another log on. Since writing…

VEGEEEEMMMMIIIITTTTTEEEEEE
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! My excitement is off the charts right now. I can make our own Vegemite!!! It’s Gluten Free, It’s Oh. So. Tasty. It’s Healthy (!!) and it tastes better than the real thing. For those who aren’t Australian, you might not get my excitement right now. That’s…
Vegan Cheese? Yes Please!
While on a recent holiday to Tasmania we popped into a shop selling vegan cheeses for Mr Incredible. They were delicious and he could eat them ALL… the price though was extreme. $20 or so for a small round. Crazy right? Especially when you can make it sooo much cheaper with very little effort at…
Road stop inspiration: Beetroot, Carrot, Cabbage, Ginger and Apple salad with a honey & lime dressing
We had an impromptu visit to the Hunter Valley last weekend to help out some older friends. He was about to go in for an operation and we found out over a cup of tea that they were about to pick up a load of hay so was unable to help. From previous experience, loading…
Lunchbox safe: nut, dairy, gluten and sugar free muesli bars – which are delicious too!!
Mr Incredible just got the following text message: Cooked these. They’re awesome and may not be any left when you get home…. shall I save you one?? Made with banana as a binder and whatever you have in the cupboard, these muesli bars are incredibly versatile and super duper delicious. In fact, with the fruity…
Hummus that works – and tastes oh. so. good.
I’ve had a mixed relationship with making hummus. When Adventure Girl started solids I would make it often and while it was on the chunkier side, we both quite enjoyed it. Upon reflection though it was after a friend came over for lunch and couldn’t stand it that I stopped making it so much… she…
Edible, Cookable Play Dough : Wholemeal spiced cookies
It’s school holidays here. It doesn’t affect our little family much except for one thing, the parks are SO much more crowded. Big kids having a wonderful play can be a bit daunting for Adventure Girl and Dash so we tend to avoid our usual haunts and either go to BIG open spaces to ride…
Gluten Free Breakfasts on the go: Nigella’s Breakfast Bars
Mr Incredible, while being incredible in many ways is NOT incredibly good at getting out the door quickly in the morning.Since he was diagnosed as being allergic to wheat, this daily process has become harder. In my search to find an easy breakfast for him I chanced on this breakfast bar recipe by Nigella Lawson and I’m…
Market Day Inspiration: Carrot and Cashew Dip
Each week we visit our amazing local markets. I buy most of our fruit and veg from one of the stalls, and while it’s not organic it’s all chemical free produce. The best thing is that, along with being affordable, it tastes like food should. Carrots taste richer and sweeter, apples are amazing and quite frankly,…
Oatcakes : better than rice crackers any day
In our search to cut more wheat out of our lives (while the kids and I can eat it fine, it’s less to buy if we all eat the same thing. And no, I haven’t decided if I want to read Grain Brain!). Sadly, rice crackers have become an all too familiar trade off in our household as…
