Gluten Free IKEA Style Meatballs With Creamy Sauce
I think I only got to have IKEA’s famous Swedish Meatballs once before I realised I was gluten intolerant so I don’t really have much to compare them to. I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for ages though and typically, during this lock down, IKEA actually released the recipe for their infamous meatballs! They’re not gluten free though so I’ve still played around and adapted the recipe to suit me. So here it is, my Gluten Free IKEA Style Meatballs recipe! Complete with the creamy gravy sauce. You can make this recipe dairy free too by using alternative yoghurt and butter. It can literally be made to suit any…

Fakeaway Salt And Pepper Chicken
This Fakeaway Salt and Pepper Chicken is one of my absolute favourites. Being Gluten Free is quite easy these days. The choice of bread and cakes in shops is unbelievable and everything tastes nice. Restaurants offer whole Free From Menus now. Eating out is far easier now than it was a few years ago. Every body seems to be realising that people with allergies and intolerances want to eat good food too! One problem I do still come across is takeaways. I can manage to get a chicken Kebab minus the pitta from my local Kebab shop but that’s about it. I haven’t risked an Indian and Chinese is out…

Baked Sweet Potato Onion Bhajis
We love a curry in our house and these Baked Sweet Potato Onion Bhajis are the perfect side dish! My family love my Easy Chicken Curry which is packed full of healthy veggies. We do tend to turn curry night into a feast though! Even me being gluten free doesn’t stop us having all of the side dishes. These Baked Sweet Potato Onion Bhajis are absolutely delicious. Because they’re baked it makes them healthier than your standard Bhajis. And you can get extra vegetables into the kids without them realising! Ingredients (Makes 6-8+ depending on the size) 1 Medium Sized Sweet Potato 2 Onions 1 Tsp Curry Powder 1 Tsp…

Greggs Style Sausage & Bean Bake
Greggs style Sausage & Bean Bake is a healthier version of a much loved classic! The dieting world has gone mad for “pasty’s” lately and they are bloody lovely so I can understand why!! The humble wrap has become a pastry replacement for slimmers across the country and while in town this morning, smelling the sausage rolls as I was walking past Greggs I wondered what other goodies I could try…. Of course! There’s no reason I can’t make a Greggs Style Sausage & Bean Bake! I have now gone gluten free so I now have even more reason to make things like this as I can’t eat Gregg’s. I…

Easy Chicken Curry with Pilau Rice
This easy chicken curry is a firm favourite in my house and you can make it as spicy (or not) as you like. I don’t make mine overly spicy as both kiddies eat it and Mr isn’t great with heat. No matter how you have it, this is still full of flavour. But then, is a curry ever boring? I don’t ever change this recipe but you could always add some chickpeas if you wanted to bulk it out a little more. If you can, make it so there’s a portion left over. Trust me, this tastes even better as leftovers! Popped on top of a jacket potato is my…

McDonald’s Style Egg In A Cup
This McDonald’s style egg in a cup trick is probably the easiest and quickest way to cook an egg! It looks like a Maccy D’s breakfast muffin egg but it is far healthier and tastes better too (in my opinion anyway). This has become a breakfast staple in our house just because they are so quick. They make the perfect weekend breakfast. I have recently found you can purchase a microwave egg poacher that does the same thing. It’s probably more faff than doing it this way though. Even though it cooks two eggs at a time they don’t cook evenly. Also, getting them out of the pot is more…

KFC Style Crispy Chicken
These KFC Style Crispy Chicken strips are a firm favourite in our house. They taste just as good as their greasy counterparts, if not better! Even the kids agree so they must be good! I do now make my KFC Style crispy chicken with gluten free bread. It means I can eat them without the stomach ache. Something I don’t think I’ll ever manage with the real KFC! You will ideally need a food processor for this recipe to make breadcrumbs. I tried making it using a hand blender once…. It didn’t go too well. We love a Fakeaway and I have more recipes to try. How about a bit…

Epic Bacon Cheeseburger – Better Than A Takeaway!
My Epic Bacon Cheeseburger is one of my favourite Fakeaways. I do a couple of different burgers with different fillings but the main burger meat is always the same and it tastes amazing! My toddler eats pretty much everything we eat so none of my recipes have salt added to them, I don’t feel they need it but add away if you do. My Epic burger is of course a double but you can make the burgers and freeze them for another day. I done this recently and it saved so much time when I was in a hurry!

Chinese Fakeaway Satay Chicken With Peanut Sauce
Chinese Fakeaway Satay Chicken has got to be one of the greatest discoveries I have made when it comes to healthy food. It all started when we had friends over for dinner and made I a low fat Chinese feast! This was just one of the dishes but it’s now become one of our favourite meals. You can serve it with whatever you fancy but egg fried rice is pretty easy to make. I now make this gluten free by using Tamari instead of soy sauce. Chinese is basically a no-go when you’re gluten free so this makes a great replacement. I also make it Dairy Free by swapping the…

Fanta Chicken
Definitely a favourite in my house is Fanta Chicken. I only used to do this when Mr and I were eating but we’ve since found out that the kids will eat it too. Which is a big thing with the toddler at the moment! It’s a great way of getting extra vegetables into him too! It is an almost Sweet and Sour tasting dish but without the ton of sugar that the real thing contains! It’s such a tasty dish and I easily make mine gluten free by swapping the soy and worcester sauce for gluten free alternatives. Fanta Chicken is also naturally dairy free.
