I think the title explains it all? While I’ve not been showing up on this space much in the past few weeks, I’ve been putting in some serious time in my kitchen. This has made me very happy. So I thought I’d share some recipes with you that I’ve been particularly loving – as evidenced by my nice little archive of weekly menu plans I’ve got stuck to my fridge. I used to do everything in spreadsheet format but that got a bit boring, then we got a new printer and – to cut a long IT story short –…
You guys, this week has not even been funny. Actually make that this past fortnight. Three weeks? I don’t know, but I haven’t been showing up here much because when I get stressed, I just can’t handle the internet. Anyone else or is that just me? So anyway, hello, I’m alive, and currently eating my feelings. This last Monday I invited Kelly over to help me do so, and also to introduce her to the wonder of creme egg pancakes. I mentioned these a while ago and was met with a bit of interest, so I thought with Shrove Tuesday…
If you’re after a serious chocolate hit and your chocolate eggs have run out already, then I’ve got the recipe for you. It’s a gluten free milk chocolate tart, and it’s really very easy. Alternatively, if you’re having a coeliac round for dinner and you make this for them – they will basically be your die hard BFF after a lifetime of being offered fruit salad for pudding. Crust 225g gluten free plain flour 1 tsp xanthan gum Pinch of salt 100g cold butter, cubed 1 egg, beaten 1-2 tbsp cold water Filling (recipe from here) 450 ml of single…
I do love trying new recipes – I find it oddly relaxing (given I have all the right ingredients). This week I’ve managed to have both the time and the supplies to try out three new recipes. Here’s how I got on… Lasagne soup ¦¦ This seemed an odd concept but all that cheese drew me in. This was pretty easy to make, although all the boiling steps took a while. The end result was super tasty, and certainly a lot easier to prepare than an actual lasagne, although I was a bit stumped at first as to how to…
So Thursday evening was one of those nights where I got home from work – having had to stay late, following which the trains all broke en masse and I had to wait for ages on a freezing platform – got straight into my pyjamas, and all I could think about was chocolate pudding. So I made myself some. I followed this recipe from taste.com.au which I’ve used before to great success. I made one teeny tiny amendment which I’ll explain as we go along. Ingredients 1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour 3/4 cup caster sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted 1/2…
