People hate to cook for me, is that normal? Just because I don't eat wheat, like to avoid dairy and don't like eating things from packets... Ok, yes I'm the dinner guest from hell so when one of my favourite ladies offered to cook dinner for me last week I jumped at the chance. Meet … Continue reading MEALS: Veggie chilli the DanYELL way

SNACKS: Peanut butter on apple
Hopefully by now you realise that I'm into no fuss food, there's nothing more off putting than healthy, wheat free recipes that have a list of ingredients longer than your arm and take two hours to prepare. There's just no need for it. Now, I fully admit that this is not a recipe, it is … Continue reading SNACKS: Peanut butter on apple
MEAL: Feel good chicken soup
I've been suffering from tonsillitis over the last couple of days so I figured that it was time to break out the big guns... Chicken soup. Now I'm not big on the usual chicken soup, that thick, creamy chicken soup is a big no no for me! So now every time I'm under the weather … Continue reading MEAL: Feel good chicken soup
SWEET TREATS: Rhubarb flapjacks
Everyone loves flapjacks right? Yes, I thought so, the only thing is that they are usually jam packed with sugar, syrup and butter - rubbish for anyone trying to eat well. I've been trying to come up with a recipe that has no dairy, no syrup or sugar but that's harder than I expected, I … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Rhubarb flapjacks
SWEET TREATS: Free from everything cookies
Last weeks failure of sugar and dairy free flapjacks (that have been eaten as crumbly granola all week) inspired me try some sugar, dairy, wheat and egg free cookies. Now I know that this sounds terrible but honestly, they surprised me too, they aren't conventional cookies but they are most certainly lovely little, sweet bites … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Free from everything cookies
BREAKFAST: Granola, without the sugar
I love cereal but a lot of the cereal you buy in the supermarket labels itself as health when it's actually stuffed with sugar, so no more thanks! I've ditched the supermarket cereal for a homemade granola, inspired by my fave foodie Gwyneth Paltrow here's an easy granola recipe. You need: 3 cups of oats … Continue reading BREAKFAST: Granola, without the sugar
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: Birthday time
On Wednesday I turned the grand old age of 29 and to celebrate one of my besties took me on a wheat free tour of Edinburgh. We started with the cat cafe in Stockbridge, Maison de Moggy is a wonderful place, you book an hour for only £7 and you get to sit and drink coffee … Continue reading A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: Birthday time
BREAKFAST: Overnight oats, the lazy gal’s breakfast
I don't know about you but at this time of year I start looking forward to spring and I don't want to eat porridge anymore, it's perfect for the cold, dark mornings of winter but now we're in March I like to ditch the porridge. But oats are such a good way to start the … Continue reading BREAKFAST: Overnight oats, the lazy gal’s breakfast
SWEET TREATS: PB + J cookies
I love cookies as much as the next person! I threw an alcoholic tea party a few years ago (doesn't every do that?) and a good friend of mine arrived with peanut butter cookies that only had three ingredients, they were gluten and dairy free! I've since adapted her recipe to make peanut butter and … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: PB + J cookies
PANCAKES: not just for Shrove Tuesday
Yesterday was pancake day and if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I was throwing a pancake party, what you may not have noticed was that the party needed to cater for two people who are wheat free, one of which avoids dairy and the third person is allergic to eggs … Continue reading PANCAKES: not just for Shrove Tuesday
