Chocolate Easter Egg Review
I do realise that this is all in the wrong order in the sense that it’s now too late for you to stock up on Easter eggs for this year but I still think it’s worth letting you know what we thought of them in general, in terms of ‘free from’ chocolate. As discussed in…
Absence makes the heart grow fonder (for chocolate!)
Hello! Remember me: the dad of one who over-shares about allergic reactions and claims to blog about the challenges of feeding someone with multiple allergies but mostly just ponders on the beautiful futility of self-guided parenthood? It’s been a while! I kinda missed 2020. Not to be confused with the phrase “I miss 2020”, that…
A tart for all the family
Quick post this time. Just wanted to share a pudding that my wife made last week that was gone before you could say “low-fructose, gluten-free millionaire cheesecake pie?” I think what surprised me most about it is that the tart seems to be more than the sum of its parts. All three of us (with…
Cake, twice!
So without giving away any specific ages or dates, April is a pretty big month in this house for birthdays. And this year was no different. No, wait. It was! Amid social lockdown and barely leaving the house, it was quite a different set of birthdays for both my wife and Piglet. To be fair,…
Vegan Galaxy Chocolate
Woo hoo! This is a treat! In line with the many vegan versions of common brands that have become available in the last few months, I recently tried Galaxy’s vegan chocolate. They have launched three versions of their vegan milk chocolate: Caramel and Sea Salt, Caramelised Hazelnut and Smooth Orange. The latter two of the…
A new chocolate spread?
As with so many of my review-based blog posts, I always feel a little insincere reviewing milk alternative products as I don’t eat that many of them. Much like when I was a vegetarian for many years; I wasn’t looking for meat alternative meals, I just ate vegetable based main meals (of which there are…
NOMO – No Missing Out on Christmas
I’ve been looking for an excuse to try this for some time now. Considering I’ve been trying to cut down on refined carbs and sugar in an effort to lose weight/feel healthier and my wife’s PCOS diet means virtually no sugar at all; we don’t have as much call for chocolate in the house as…
Pirates, ice and hot chocolate
Yo ho ho! Quick person count: 1, 2, 3… All present and correct after the snowy cold weather. Actually, we didn’t get it too badly. A few centimetres of snow when we woke up on Friday morning but nothing worse than that. Even my most pessimistic planning couldn’t fully justify me not going to work.…
Surprisingly Suitable – 21st Sept 2018
I thought I’d pull together a list of things that we can eat (i.e. dairy and soya free) that you might not have known were suitable. Effectively edible food hiding in plain sight! (I should point out that such is the nature of mine and Piglet’s allergies, we don’t usually have to avoid food that…
