{Baking Bliss} Rooibos Macarons
If you have heard it once, I am here to tell you again. nMaking macarons is NO easy feat. They are extremely temperamental things and need to be handled with the utmost care and patience. When I started this batch, everything was going well, until I had to make my sugar syrup to pour into the meringue mixture. I messed it up two times and had to redo it – all because the first time round I stirred my sugar and second time had the heat on to high. Other than that, if you follow these instructions to a T, (excuse the pun) then you should be able to make…

Dairy and Gluten Free Chocolate Tarts & THAT Wedding Cake
Happy Monday Guys and I am kicking off the week with these Dairy and Gluten Free Chocolate Tarts. On Saturday after watching the Royal Wedding, I was feeling inspired and decided to bake a tart – one that was friendly on the tummy, but still delicious and this is how it turned out. Dairy and Gluten Free Chocolate Tarts. Royal Wedding Synopsis OK but before we get into that – let’s also pause to take a moment to discuss how amazing Meghan looked – her make-up, understated simple yet beautiful dress and that veil.

4-Seed Parmesan Crackers and Homemade Hummus
Today I wanted to share a recipe that Shaun’s mom passed on to me – 4-Seed Parmesan Crackers and Homemade Hummus. These are great to make in advance and keep in an airtight container, and they stay fresh for two to three weeks, so you will have a decent amount to snack on. And considering most of these crackers cost a fortune at the shops, this recipe is one I am sure to hold on to! These 4-Seed Parmesan Crackers are sugar, gluten and dairy-free. I am also sharing my recipe for FODMAP friendly Hummus, which doesn’t contain any garlic. (Garlic is HIGH Fodmap and not good for your tummy…

{Gluten & Dairy Free} Orange Sweet Potato Crumpets
Happy Monday Guys and it’s a four day week so no reason to feel the Monday Blues 🙂 So, over the weekend I had a beautiful bag of these bright orange Sweet Potato chunks that were just staring at me from the fridge that I thought I’d experiment with. First – lets have an honest moment here. Truth: Probably only about 60% of what I make, do I blog about – the rest is just a gold old fashioned flop! The thing is, when you substitute milk and flour with other alternative ingredients such as soya, almond and gluten free flours, it is a very difficult balancing act and sometimes…

Delicious Creamy Ice-Cream with Crushed Oreo
Who wants to make Creamy Ice-Cream with Crushed Oreo? 😍 Over the weekend we hosted a special dinner for Shaun’s mom’s birthday. I decided it was time to take out the ice cream maker, which I purchased last year from Yuppie Chef, but haven’t really had a chance to use. It’s a Krups Ice Cream and Sorbet maker and its super easy to use. After leaving the ‘bowl’ in the freezer for 24 hours, you make your ice cream mixture and pour it into the frozen bowl, while the paddles stirs the mixture until it resembles ice cream. Has to be on of the best kitchen gadget purchases I have ever…
