Because life isn’t crazy enough with cats, kids, fish, hamsters and our busy life, we also deal with food allergies.
The husband is allergic to cows milk, and all products containing cows milk, he also suffers from a non coeliac gluten intolerance.
The small boy is also allergic to cows milk and all products containing cows milk so as a family, we don’t tend to eat cows milk or products containing cows milk and we avoid gluten, or I cook gluten free meals.
The tween and I do break out occasionally and eat cheese but I mostly blog and share about living with food allergies and what works and doesn’t for us. We share recipes, product reviews, and brands we like.
It hasn’t always been easy but we do manage to eat well and enjoy food and life.

Easy Home made Thai green curry paste
I love Thai Green Curry, this weekend. I make it often, actually. It is one of our favourites, and I find easy, and compatible with most meats (chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables) and if I make a milder version, the children love it, and I think we probably own the only Thai Green curry loving…

Friday’s Rants from the Soap Box in My Living Room!
Welcome to my Friday’s Rants from the Soap Box in my Living Room. A small space in the week where I can have a chunter about things that have made me twitch with annoyance or made me question if the world has gone mad or not…. I also linked up with MummyBarrow for her Ranty Friday. You can…
Gluten and dairy free pancakes
I’ve been asked for this recipe a few times, so thought I would blog about it. It’s a firm favourite in our house, and because it is gluten and dairy free, is good for those with food intolerances or allergies. You can tweak it to suit your needs. Gluten free American Style Pancakes I prefer American style, fluffier,…
Oh, the weather outside is frightful!
But inside it’s simply delightful, because I have made American style pancakes, with proper maple syrup and crispy bacon (These are gluten and dairy free too!) Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…..
