Gluten Free Chicken Stock

Bye, You've Been Great :(

Since being gluten free I have had to change the stock cubes or granules that I've been using about 3 times due to the recipe being changed and pepper being added. Can't remember the first but I used Kallo Chicken Stock Cubes for over a year, then one day I picked up a pack to put in the trolley and saw that the ingredients had changed. Pepper had been added.

Gluten Free Barbecue Spare Ribs Chinese Style

Gluten Free Chinese Spare Ribs

I've been meaning to make these spare ribs for ages but for whatever reason I forgot to and was making the regular Barbecue Spare Ribs instead. Those ribs are good but these ribs are fantastic and just like what I used to order from my Chinese.

Homemade Gluten Free Crisps

Gluten Free Chilli Crisps

I'm a bit tired of crisp flavours tasting so artificial, so as the oil was already heating on the hob to cook Calamari, I decided to do a quick experiment.

I washed and dried a potato, used a potato peeler to get slices, dried the pieces off with kitchen paper, then put the potato slices into the hot oil for a minute or so. Voila! Simply drain and add herbs or spices for your desired flavour. We went for chilli as we love a bit of heat.

The Long Overdue Surstromming Encounter

Sakata Gluten Free Rice Crackers

Sakata = Gluten Free Yum!

The lovely peeps at Sakata sent me this colourful selection of their gluten free Rice Crackers to try, as I had only managed to source the Sour Cream and Chives flavour myself. Despite having a totally full tummy after a somewhat indulgent cheese fondue dinner, just thinking about how good the ones I had already tasted were meant that I couldn't help myself and opened one of the new flavours shortly after picking up my post.

Freedom Deli Gluten Free Meals

Enjoying being in the kitchen and cooking is great as a coeliac, but there are just some instances when you don't have time, can't be bothered or maybe you simply can't cook that great. That's where convenience is needed and where Freedom Deli saves the day!

Stuff People Say To Coeliacs

They forgot "you need your head checked".

Coeliac Tiredness

I don't recall a time in my life when I've ever been well rested because I've always had insomnia but recently the tiredness has been getting progressively worse. I haven't had any glutening episodes recently though I have been a bit run down due to chest problems, and I continue to have late nights which isn't smart but, well, that's just the way I am.

Sakata Gluten Free Rice Crackers

Sakata Gluten Free Crackers

I've decided that they need their own post, that's how good they are (previous mention here). Were it not for the fact that we're having a shared dinner this evening I would have eaten most (if not all) of the pack already.

I found myself unexpectedly in a Waitrose whilst out and about today. I'd been wanting to get something new from there to try for ages, but my mind was totally blank, didn't have a clue what it was but I knew it was something I'd seen talked about on Twitter. Thankfully the free from section made me remember; Sakata rice crackers.
