Challenge Accepted – School Camp

My latest challenge - developing an alternate ration pack for allergy kids.

I Love Orgran! – Egg Free Potato Salad Attempt

I'm heading off camping this weekend and it is a very back to basics deal where we can't take a car so have to carry everything ourselves. For me that is a challenge for food as I can't take too much in the way of cooking equipment and food. I've got a butane burner and...

School Cupcakes

Any allergy Mum knows about the 'School Cupcakes'. These are the cupcakes you have to keep in the school freezer for when other kids bring in birthday cakes to share. Be it empathy or guilt over restricting their diet I hate when my kids have to miss out on some yummy treat that everyone else...

Apple Pie

Hubby's favourite dessert is apple pie so for his birthday I made an everything free apple pie, custard and ice cream. (Sorry to the Failsafe people it is moderate to high Sals). It was categorised as a baking fail as the pastry was too crumbly and hard. I just used an old fashioned short crust...

Failsafe Lemon Chicken

This isn't exactly a nutrition packed meal but it is my occasional treat for dinner. Even though it's Failsafe I tend to react to the citric acid if I'm feeling particularly sensitive. I serve it with rice and beans which are also occasional foods for me due to the Fodmaps in beans and I think...

Beautiful Byron!

It's been a while since my last post because I've been too busy chillin in Byron!!! For my birthday this year I wanted to be able to go to Byron to chill out, enjoy the local vibes and be able to take my girls somewhere to eat where they could pick anything off the menu...

Freezer Treasure

Nanna has the kids, I have a pinched nerve in my neck leading to a migraine and got given a doozy of an assignment at work meaning I didn't get home til late. Not in the mood to cook anything and not sure if I had any leftovers for dinner or work tomorrow I went...

Baking Day – My Staples

Friday was a bit of a baking day as I had started running out of staples and also wanted a few treats. I started off with Yucky biscuits - which actually aren't yucky but a bit of an acquired taste but are very nutritious if you're needing to get food into yourself. Roast Lamb is...

Tonight’s Dinner

So tonight's dinner was a perfect example of how to feed everyone with differing allergies without making four separate dinners. I'm currently on Failsafe Baseline in an attempt to get some more food in my diet and my husband really hates boring 'healthy' food. My kids are somewhere in between. So that means at least...

I guess tradition says I should open with Hello World?

Someone said I should start a blog. I don't know exactly what it is going to be about but I guess it will evolve over time? I have a pretty crazy life and fucks me when I'm going to get time to write but maybe putting down my many life lessons may help someone else....
