Mrs Crimbles Potato Bites

Let's Bake Love Indeed

I think I first heard about these via an email from Mrs Crimble's but it's only been the past couple of weeks that I've seen them to buy. First bite and I was hooked, if you're a fan of salt and vinegar crisps you will love these!

Gluten Free Cheese Bread

Delicious!

There on the free from bread shelf sat 2 boxes of this mysterious and tempting bread mix. Had someone picked it up from another aisle and decided they didn't want it? Oh, but it says gluten free, it must belong here. It looks sooo good, never seen this before.

That was the thought process going on when I first spied the box. If you see this buy it. Yoki Cheese Bread is amazing!

OPI Nail Polishes And Treatments

I wrote a while back about OPI Nail Envy having wheat protein in it, but despite contacting OPI on numerous occasions to find out which of their others products may also contain it, I never got a response. As I still have lots of their polishes, I wanted to know if they safe or not and the answer came thanks to my Mum!

QVC UK sent out an OPI product directory with her last order and in the back in gives the ingredients for all the OPI things that they sell. That's pretty darn cool.

Kelkin Gluten Free Belgian Milk Chocolate Fingers

Excuse The Blur, Bit Out Of Practice

I'd never heard of Kelkin before last Saturday but oh what a find! I'm not really sure what regular chocolate product I would compare these to but they're absolutely lovely. Bubbly chocolate sandwiched between crisp wafers and covered in a really smooth Belgian chocolate.

Tantrums, Twitter and Tennis

I lost it with coeliac disease yesterday. Totally lost it. See, my OH is currently having a holiday without me and though it was ultimately my choice not to go (free spirit, can't bear to stay at other people homes, need my own space to do as I please!) I got really wound up at a statement he made.

It's The Little Things

I was just thinking back to the magical day that me and my lovely spent at the Harry Potter Studio Tour and had so much fun. I didn't eat anything while we were there as I think I ate before we left for our afternoon booking after gluten free research had been done and it wasn't very conclusive.

Warning: Pessimistic Coeliac Mood

So this is my second chicken stock attempt.

It Smells Lovely

Problem is, I thought that by refrigerating it the fat would easily be skimmed off. I thought wrong.

I'll Be Honest, It Was A Disaster

After 14 hours in the slow cooker I assumed that the chicken stock would have been packed full of flavour. I was wrong. After successfully removing all the fat and being able to taste, it was a watery mess that lacked everything. I failed.

I know where I went wrong because my old fashioned Chicken Casserole has bags of flavour with no use of any pre-bought stock, I needed to add vegetables for the base flavour. No more late night stock making for me. Next time I will triumph!

Attempting To Make Gluten Free Chicken Stock From Scratch

I have a bigger problem than most when it comes to finding gluten free chicken stock either in cube or powdered form because of my pepper allergy. All except Heinz have pepper in them and I can't source Heinz chicken stock from anywhere it seems. Such a nuisance as I use chicken stock all the blooming time!

Gluten Free Food At Wimbledon Tennis

We're just entering my favourite time of the year, the grass court tennis season. Thought I would do a bit of research and find out what the gluten free situation is with regards to attending Wimbledon fortnight.

It was far easier than I expected, unlike the official information for the 2012 Olympics. This is what the official Wimbledon site has to say:

"People with special dietary requirements should bring with them what they need to eat and drink to avoid disappointment. A limited choice of pre-packed gluten-free foods can be purchased on request in the Aorangi Food Court."
