I've been making dairy free & soy free recipes for about 8 years now, since my son was first diagnosed with his food intolerances. And then we added gluten free & sulphite free recipes to that about 2 years later, when my husband was tested. So I have had lots of time to find sources… Continue reading 5 Blogs for Recipes that we can use
Lasagna was one of my favourite childhood dinners. For my birthday dinner, whilst growing up, I would either choose lasagna or corned beef. I used to make this dish quite regularly as an adult until my son and husband both discovered their food intolerances. I had worked out a dairy free white sauce but it… Continue reading Gluten free and Dairy Free Lasagna
This is the question that my daughter posed to me this week. She was making a potato salad to take to uni for lunch. She wanted to boil potatoes, as well as hard boil some eggs to go into her potato salad. So as she was preparing to boil the potatoes she asked "Can I… Continue reading Can you boil potatoes & eggs together?
Apparently it's Chicken Month in September, among other things. We usually eat a meal with chicken in it once or twice a week. This week we've had Chicken Pot Pies and then used the same chicken mixture to make Chicken Pasties. Other chicken dishes that my family enjoys include Grain Free Chicken Schnitzels with an almond… Continue reading Chicken Month (including a recipe)

Based on Jess' suggestions for making them oat free I have used a mix of quinoa flakes, organic desiccated coconut & hazelnut meal or flax seed meal. I used a mix of brown rice flour, corn starch, tapioca flour and yellow maize flour. … Continue reading Maple Quinoa Biscuits

For example each month I plan to video about one of the books I've read and link this to my… Continue reading Feed My Family Now On YouTube
The original recipe was in our Day to Day Cookery Cookbook. This was the cookbook we used for school Home Economics lessons at high school. My mother had a copy of this cookbook so I didn't get to have a newer edition. I remember visiting my friend (when I was in high school) one weekend… Continue reading GF Raspberry Coconut Slice
A tradition that I started with my children when they were tiny is the making of resurrection cookies on the Saturday night before Easter Sunday. It is a family activity and as each ingredient is added a little bit of the Easter story is explained and there is a Bible passage to look up. Finally… Continue reading Resurrection Cookies
To celebrate Valentine's Day (or proposal day as it's called in our house) I turned our basic family meal into a heart shaped meal. Our dinner was rissoles served with potato/sweet potato, carrots & peas. My husband even put his sauce on in a heart shape, as pictured above. I used my rissole recipe but… Continue reading Heart Dinner
I have adapted this recipe from my version of a gluten free Shortbread Creams recipe that I use. Gluten free biscuits can often spread on the tray & you can end up with 1 large "biscuit". However I've found that these work well. After experimenting more with making gluten free chocolate afghan biscuits, I believe… Continue reading Gluten Free Jam Drops
