I've been in a bit of a lull lately. A self-imposed lull. I've been battling some thyroid-related health issues for some time now. At last, I have a diagnosis of the underlying cause, but treatment is yet to commence and to be honest, after all the other things I've tried, I'm not celebrating just yet. So, between the thyroid issue and having also copped adrenal fatigue (just for good … [Read more...]
Gluten-free Recipe: Zoodle Fritters
I'm calling bullsh*t on the zoodle. Or, if you want to get technical, bullus sh*ttus maximus. That's right.

Always desperate to try one, … [Read more...]
Gluten-free Recipe: Italian Style Cornbread
Woop de doop! I've stumbled onto something here! I am just a wee bit of excited about this recipe, especially after lacking inspiration for savoury fare for some time now. My family loved this cornbread and when I offered it to a friend and her daughter to try, they also loved it. Nothing better than a thumbs up from someone outside the family! The oil gives this slice a lovely crisp crust … [Read more...]
