Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
Golden Syrup Cake
This is a lucysfriendlyfoods version of a classic Tate and Lyle’s golden syrup cake – sweet, squidgy and syrupy all at the same time.
Caramelised Cocoa Cookies
I just had to use my new cookie stamper – this needed a certain type of smooth cookie.
Free-from Chocolate Advent Calendar
All my daughters’ friends seem to have chocolate advent calendars.
Hummingbird Bakery-alike Cupcakes
There’s a Hummingbird Bakery near where I work, so I’ve been lucky enough to visit and admire… the cupcakes look so pretty and tempting, sitting in their neat rows in glass cases.
Curried Parsnip Soup
Brrrr, it’s cold! The temperature has dropped – suddenly it’s frosty, the trees are bare and there’s the hint of Christmas in the air.
Nut-free Homemade Mincemeat
You can certainly tell that Christmas is just around the corner – this week we’ve got a Nativity play, a Christmas party, a carol service and a Christmas market to attend.
Veggie Kedgeree
Big and Little S aren’t very keen on Indian flavours – they kind of assume that if it looks/smells different then they won’t like it, even before tasting.
Homemade Chocolate Spread
Little S has developed a taste for Plamil dairy-free chocolate spread and has it on her toast every morning over anything else.
Iced Fish-shape Biscuits
As the party took place at a leisure centre they provided the (rather substandard!) food and I didn’t get the opportunity to make a whole party feast of allergy-friendly treats.
Lemon and Lime Cordial
I have no idea why I’ve always bought cordials, they’re so easy to make and homemade can only much more natural and therefore healthy than anything store bought.
Mediterranean vegetable and parsley Pasta Salad
I love parsley – it’s so versatile but can often be overlooked by more flamboyant herbs.
Minty Chocolate Snowball Truffles
The preparations for our Christmas food have now begun! These minty chocolate truffles, coated in icing sugar to resemble snowballs would make a fabulous Christmas gift.
Mince Pie Cookies
Christmas eve is nearly upon us and we need to leave out some goodies for Father Christmas and his reindeer.
Thyme and Redcurrant Gravy
This is an absolutely winning gravy – perfect served with Christmas lunch or a roast, on a pie or with veggie sausages (you’ve got to try my nosages!) and mash.
