Previous to Mr Incredible being diagnosed with a wheat allergy we made all our bread at home. We often still do for the kids and I but I lost a lot of drive to do this after diagnoses. Firstly, he couldn’t eat it and he ate a lot of it. Secondly, for those who love…
Weekly weeknight dinner: Chicken and Veggie Pasta Bake
We make this meal at least once a fortnight and we’re not board with it yet! The best thing about the meal (as we make it) is that with the additional load of vegetables it makes enough for our family (including leftovers for lunch) as well as a meal to give to another family, or…
Vanilla butter cake with berries
I love it when you have the ingredients in your cupboard to make a cake (and a darn good one at that) to take around to a friend’s place in the evening, or when you’re asked to bring a dessert. My friend had an attempted break-in yesterday, so while her hubby is away this evening…
Flavour Gold: marinated stir-fry chicken with vegetables

Healthy snacks: The quickest, easiest, tastiest dairy, nut, egg and sugar free muffins ever!
The origin of this recipe is an old 1980’s school cookbook which I’ve modified it over time to be egg, dairy and sugar free – I’ve also added some wholemeal flour along with frozen berries. We make this recipe at least once a week and I’ll often get a nudge from Mr Incredible if we’re low on stock…
Northern Chinese Dumplings – little bites of gold
I love dumplings. The problem is, whenever I’ve had MSG in the past year or more I’ve had some very unpleasant symptoms (Mr Incredible calls the reactions an MSG Hangover and all the symptoms are pretty much the same) so dumplings are often desired but rarely tasted. Last night though we made Beyond Jelly’s recipe…
Lunchtime Staple: Stir-fried veg with cheesy egg
I don’t know about you but by lunchtime I just want a meal I can easily make and know I’ll enjoy. One that Adventure Girl won’t fuss over and is full of veg in case I don’t have the energy to make a really nutritious dinner. My stir-fried veg with cheesy egg fits the bill…
