Tiger Bloomer Lunch | Dairy Wheat and Gluten Free

Looking for something tasty for lunch? This Tiger Bloomer is soft, delicious and just so good...

Being a huge fan of Udi's Gluten Free products, the Tiger Bloomer is one of my most favourites. The bread is delicious, lovely and soft and is great for a quick and easy lunch. In the photos above all I did was slice off some of the Tiger Bloomer, toast it slightly and then add some dairy, wheat and gluten free cheese spread, (my favourite is the one by Violife,) some lettuce and sliced tomatoes, (I love tomatoes.) You can add anything you like on top of the bread for a quick and easy lunch. You could also pop the bread with toppings of your choice on a griddle pan or in the oven, for a nice crunchy bruschetta style lunch. 

Another thing I love to do is slice off some of the bread and then spread some free from butter on to it and pop in the microwave for a few seconds until warm. The butter melts on the bread and tastes so good. Definitely one of my comfort foods.

Winter Fruit Crumble

If your looking for something warm and tasty to have on a cold winters night, I highly recommend making this crumble...

This is my first food post of 2016 and I just had to share this with you. Above in the photos I made a Winter Fruit Crumble. I actually took this recipe from Udi's 12 Days Of Christmas recipes, but I slightly changed it a little. I used the Udi's Cranberry Granola to make this crumble. This granola is definitely one of my favourites, it's so delicious. I decided to use apples for the filling of my crumble. All you need to make this crumble is - Udi's Cranberry Granola, apples (or you can use different types of fruit.) I also added a little sugar and water to the crumble too.

This is super quick and easy to make, I cooked it until the granola was golden, I think I popped it in the oven for about 20 mins. You can also cook the fruit first, before adding the granola on top.

• Strawberry Jam (or a different flavour if you prefer.)

You may remember that I previously posted a cake recipe using Udi's Sponge Cake Mix, this time I wanted to try something a little different and add a filling and some fruit on the side. This cakes tasted so delicious and it wasn't in the cake tin for very long! I am a huge fan of Udi's and I love all of their products. This cake is so quick and easy to make. I added everything together and then split the mixture in to two cake tins and popped them in the oven for about half an hour on gas mark 5. Once cool I popped on some strawberry jam and then put the cake together and served with some strawberries and blueberries. You can add some cream, ice-cream or even custard with this cake.

Banana and Oat Cookies | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

These Banana and Oat Cookies are delicious, I love gluten free oats, I always have a pack in my cupboard and are defininitly one of my cupboard essentials. I decided to add an extra ingredient to these, coconut milk. They taste delicious and the best thing about these are, all you need is 4 ingredients to make these sweet treats -

2 cups of Gluten free oats,
2 tsp of Honey/Syrup,
2 Bananas,
1/4 cup of Coconut milk.

The reason why I decided to use cocunut milk is because although they are so delicious just using oats, honey and banana, they sometimes come of the oven a little dry, so I decided to add some of the coconut milk and I am so happy I did because when you bite in to these, the middle is nice and soft and chewy. I popped them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. These are great for a snack and are very quick and easy to make. 

Banana Bread | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

I have really been wanting some Banana Bread so bad recently. One of my favourite things to do is look for recipe inspiration on Pinterest, I have so many recipes that I have pinned so I can go back to them later. Click here to follow me on Pinterest. I love more simple recipes that don't have too many ingredients in them. But you can add whatever you like to the recipe, maybe a little cinnamon, some vanilla essence. Here is what I used to make this delicious Banana Bread. 

2 Bananas,
1 1/4 cups of Gluten Free Flour/Bread Mix,
3 tsp of Baking Powder,
3/4 cup of dairy free milk. I used Coconut Milk.
1 Egg,
1 tsp Coconut Oil,
A little salt,
(You can use some sugar if you like but I used a little syrup instead, or you can use honey.)

This banana bread is super easy to make, I just mixed all of the ingredients together and popped it into the oven for about 1 hour on a low temperature. You can also add some oats into the mixture too, which is what I did the first time I tested out this recipe, but I decided not to add any this time. I can't wait to make this again, but maybe add some different fruit to it, like blueberries. It really does taste so delicious. 

Quinoa Stuffed Tomato with Salmon

This is actually my first time posting photos with my new camera. I recently purchased the Canon 700d which I absolutely love. Please be patient while I get used to using it though. The 700d takes beautiful photos. I am still using my trusty iPhone 5 to takes photos, but as a keen lover of taking photographs I wanted to treat myself to a nice camera. I will be doing a blog post soon on the 700d. I really hope you like my photos.

I have recently purchased a copy of Ella's book Deliciously Ella, (blog post to come.) There are so many amazing and beautiful photos in the book and I seriously can't wait to start making them. I've been trying to keep up with he healthy eating, I think I'm doing quite well, although there has been a couple of slip ups where I literally stuffed a whole dairy, wheat and gluten free chocolate cupcake in to my mouth. It wasn't a pretty sight but oh my, how good it tasted! I feel it's always good to treat ourselves now and again, Ive since realised that when I devoured a whole chocolate cupcake, on more than one occasion. I've also started going for walks and I hope to get the bike out again soon, as the last time I actually went somewhere on my bike was about 10 years ago! (Yes that's right, 10 years ago.)

I am a huge fan of tomatoes and I eat them just about every day. I've never actually tried a beef tomato. (A beef tomato is a very big tomato and tastes delicious.) As I love quinoa, I thought it's only fair that I stuff the tomato with the quinoa. I decided to put some salmon with it and which created the perfect meal that tastes amazing. First, cutting a circle on top of the tomato, I then scooped out some of the middle, which can get quite messy if your not careful! After doing that I then popped the beef tomato in the oven whilst I cooked quinoa in a pan and cooked the salmon so everything was cooked together and done at the same time. I have really been loving quinoa lately, it tastes delicious. Usually when I cook mine, I pop it in a pan with boiling water and then pop in some coconut oil as it really add thats little bit more flavour and sprinkle some salt in to the pan too. That is how I cook my pasta so I thought why not quinoa too.

I would love to see your recipes. Please post your links in the comment section below.

Vegetable Pasty | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

I love baking, I find it very relaxing, or is it just me! I love being able to find new recipes and then make them. I'm a huge fan of Pinterest and I've been getting a lot of inspiration from there for recipes. I have so many I want to make. You can follow me on Pinterest by clicking here. I have so many recipes in my recipe inspiration board. I love being nosy and seeing what other people have been baking. I recently made a banana bread loaf which tastes amazing, so watch this space, I wanted to test it out first before posting it on here. I've also been getting a lot of inspiration from Ella's blog Deliciously Ella. Ella has a recipe on there to make your own dairy, gluten and wheat free chocolate with almond butter in the centre. They look so good and I really want to try making my own. I also like a challenge, a lot recipes I have looked at are not dairy, wheat and gluten free, so I love being able to re-create them and make them free from. Another recipe that I really want to try is making my own waffles. But first I need to get a waffle maker, so thats on the list. 

You may remember my previous post using Udi's Pastry Mix when I made these delicious Jam Tarts. I saved some of the pastry mix so I could use it to make something else. Since becoming dairy, wheat and gluten I have often missed have a pasty, so I thought why not make my own using the Udi's Pastry Mix. They taste so delicious and  I decided to fill mine with potato, courgette and mushroom. I followed the instructions on the box on how to make the pastry, then once rolled out I cut the pastry mix in to circles for the pasty shape, I then popped on my filling and folded the pastry to create the pasty and then I put them in oven. I can't wait to get some more of this pastry mix as I have so many different ideas for recipes that I can use it for. 

Also I will be having a giveaway on my blog this coming Tuesday.

2 Ingredient Pancakes

I am obsessed with these banana pancakes and the best thing about these is that all you need is two ingredients - 

1 Banana,

2 Eggs.

They are so quick and easy to make and taste so good. I first found out about this recipe on Cassey Ho's Youtube channel, Blogilates. I have been obsessed with this recipe ever since. Firstly I get 1 ripe banana and mash it in bowl with a fork until it is all mushy and then pop 2 eggs in to the bowl and mix everything up. Next I like to cook using Coconut oil in a pan, I find the coconut oil adds that extra something when cooking and makes food taste even more delicious. But you can use whatever oil you like. Next I pop the mixture in to the pan, as you can see int he photo above the mixture makes 3 nice sized pancakes. I also like to put a little syrup on mine to add that extra sweetness and some blueberries. These pancakes are dairy, wheat and gluten free. I love that these pancakes only have two ingredients as I like to know what I am actually eating and I know exactly what I have put in them. They are so delicious and are great for breakfast.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

These peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies are so delicious and very addictive! They are really simple and easy to make and are dairy, wheat and gluten free. All you need is -  

200 g caster sugar

200 g gluten-free plain flour

100g of peanut butter 

2 eggs

1 small pack of dairy free chocolate drops.

To make these I actually found it works better if you just mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl in no particular order! I was just experimenting around and found they turn out crunchier if I did this. After doing this I popped the mixture in to a baking tray. Rather than doing cookie shapes I just spread the mixture out. After about 20 minutes or so (or when they look nice and golden and crunchy) I popped the tray out of the oven, left to cool and then just cut them in to cookies. Not your typical cookie shape, but I find that by doing this you can have a lot more cookies, depending how big or small you want them. They are great to have as a snack or to pop in to your lunch box.

Peanut Butter Cookie | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

I love finding new recipes to try, mainly because I am unable to have dairy, wheat and gluten, so it's nice to be able to find a delicious recipe. I am a huge fan of Cassey Ho and I especially love this peanut butter cookie recipe that I found on her Blogilates app. It is quick and easy to make, you just mix the ingredients together, pop in the microwave for 1 minute and its done. I am obsessed with peanut butter. For this cookie I used:

1tbs of Crunchy peanut butter

1tbs of Gluten free oats

1tbs of dairy free milk (I used soya)

1tsp Stevia

1 egg white

I mixed all of the ingredients together, then popped in the microwave for 1 minute and you have a delicious peanut butter cookie. I changed the recipe slightly and used gluten free oats. This cookie tastes so good, I can't get enough of them. 

Homemade Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free Bread

I've always had a bit of a love, hate relationship with baking dairy, wheat and gluten free bread, as some turn out better than others. This time I decided to bake some bread using Doves Farm Brown Bread Flour. In the past I have baked dairy, wheat and gluten free bread in a bread maker, but I found that the bread comes out a lot better baking in the oven. The recipe is really easy to follow, here is what I used:

450g Doves Farm Brown Bread Flour

1/2tsp Salt

2tsp Guten free yeast

2tbsp Sugar

350ml Warm dairy free milk

2 Eggs

6tbsp Oil (I used coconut oil.)

Firstly I Mixed together the flour, salt, yeast and sugar. In a large bowl I mixed in the milk and eggs. Next I added the flour and mixed it to form a sticky dough. I then added the coconut oil. Next I placed the dough in an oiled bread tin using coconut oil, covered and left to rise in a warm place for 1 about an hour. Finally I popped the bread mixture in a pre-heated oven for 40/45 minutes on 220ºC/Fan200ºC/425ºF/Gas 7. 

I'm really happy with how the bread turned out and it tasted delicious. Doves Farm also do a white bread mix, so I'm definitely going to try that. 

Please let me know in the comment section if you have tried Doves Farm Flour.

Homemade Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free Jam Tarts

Udi's Pastry Mix is very easy to use and you can use it in so many different recipes. I decided to make these delicious jam tarts using Udi's Pastry Mix. They really are very yummy. I was so excited when I found out that Udi's do a pastry mix, as it is something I have been on the hunt for, for a long time. I love how this is an all purpose pastry mix, so you can use it in so many different pastry recipes. 

The pastry mix contains - 

• Brown Rice Flour, 
• Potato Starch, 
• Tapioca Starch, 
• Sugar, Salt, 
• Thickener (Xanthan Gum)

The pastry mix by Udi's is dairy, wheat and gluten free and here is how I made these delicious jam tarts: 

I decided to only use half the packet of pastry mix so I would have plenty left over for other recipes. I then added 1 egg to the mix, about half a cup of butter and a little water. Next I mixed everything together then put it in to the fridge for about 25 minutes to cool. I then got a cup and used it to make circle shapes for the jam tarts, after doing this I then popped them on to a baking tray and put some homemade jam in to the middle of each one. I left them in the oven for about 25 minutes. 

I love how quick and easy it is to use the pastry mix and I am very happy with the outcome of these. I definitely plan on making more of these jam tarts. The mixture made 9, but I did make mine quite thick, so the mixture could have made more. I decided to use the mixture to make jam tarts because I do have a bit of a sweet tooth and these are great to have as a snack or even put in your lunch box. I am really looking forward to using the rest of the pastry mix in another recipe.

You can buy Udi's Pastry Mix from Tesco. You can also view the full range over at Udi's website.

Miffy Cookies | Dairy, Wheat and Gluten Free

How cute are these little Miffy cookies!

I am always on the hunt for new recipes to try, so when I saw this recipe by milkbubbletea I just had to try it. As I am unable to have Dairy, Wheat and Gluten I had to change the recipe a bit. I used Doves Farm gluten and wheat free flour. I also used dairy free butter. I love the texture of these and they really do taste so good.

Here is what I used:

• 225g of Dairy Free Butter
• 225g of white sugar
• 1 egg
• 375g of plain gluten and wheat free flour
• Miffy Shaped cutters from eBay

Firstly I mixed all of the ingredients together until it formed a dough, I then rolled out the dough and used the Miffy shaped cutters. I popped the cookies in the oven on gas mark 5 for about 20 minutes (until the edges start to go golden.)
