Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
Ginger Snaps
Ginger snaps are lovely biscuits, and while McVitie’s Ginger Nuts are a great dairy, egg and nut free standby, sometimes it’s nicer to have homemade.
Crown Biscuits Fit For The Queen
Little S has a big school trip tomorrow – off to London to watch changing of the guard, see Buckingham Palace and picnic in a Royal Park.
Banoffee Pudding Pots
I used to make these a lot with dairy yogurt (an old recipe from Good Food magazine, although not quite the same) and thought that maybe it could persuade Big S that bananas are worth eating.
Ice Lollies (UK brands and why Tesco come out on top again)
As I mentioned, summer has suddenly arrived in the UK – at last, some might say! So thoughts turn to ice lollies, especially if you’re a child and especially if most ice creams are out …
Home-made Egg-free Pasta
I always wanted to make some home-made pasta – I even gave D a pasta machine a few years ago as a birthday present, but somehow it never saw the light of day until today.
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes
So, it’s the Year 3 cake sale day at school today and even if I wasn’t very keen on baking, it would be important to provide some cupcakes that my girls can safely buy and eat.
Chocolate Coated Coconut Oaty bars
You may have noticed that I’m quite a fan of chocolate and coconut! The biscuit tin was looking empty and Little S had a friend coming to play on Friday, so this is a concocted recipe that ke…
Mini Doughnuts
Did you know that it’s National Doughnut Week in the UK? Neither did I until the other day – I have to say it’s a rather tenuous reason for a National Week! Anyway, I thought I…
Pink Pickled Onions
This is a fabulous recipe – make a batch and keep in a covered container in the fridge and they can add a crunchy zing to many a dish.
Burger Buns
Here’s the recipe for the burger buns I used with the Butternut Squash and Mushroom Burgers.
Roasted Mushroom and Butternut Squash Burgers
It seems like it was a ‘Burger Tuesday’ in this house this week.
Patatas Bravas, my style
I do like tapas, but as a veggie you often have a limited choice, mainly with a potato or rice theme – and if you’re at a restaurant with meat eaters everyone wants to try your dishes b…
Carrot and Parsley Salad
The sunshine in the last couple of days has had my thought turning to salads, and this one is a particular favourite.
Zingy Homemade Lemonade
The sun’s out! It’s unbelievable after weeks and weeks of torrential rain – suddenly we realise what it’s meant to be like in mid-May! Who can think of a better, refreshing …
Welcome Home Chocolate Biscuit Cake
She’s home! Big S came home from her activity camp today and the family is again as it should be.
Black Pepper Tofu
I know tofu can be a challenging ingredient to many people, but I defy anyone not to be totally converted to its delights after eating this fabulous dish.
Golden Crown Biscuits
I was feeling a bit lost yesterday with Big S on her three night activity camp with school.
P… P… P… Pick Up a Dairy-free Penguin Bar
In writing this blog I wanted to challenge myself to be able to create any foodstuff (within reason!) that I like (or liked as a child), or my girls would like to try, and make it dairy/egg/nut-fre…
