This post was published on my SugarFree Cocktails Round-Up Anyone who knows me knows without a shadow of a doubt that my favourite movie is ‘Dirty Dancing!’ With that in my mind, ‘I carried a watermelon’ home this evening intending to make this Vodka Watermelon …
Ask anyone on a Grainfree or Paleo diet what is the one thing they miss the most, and the answer is always…Pizza! It’s probably my favourite food in the world, or maybe it’s bread, or maybe its nachos… Anyway, now there’s no reason to miss …

It was Dan’s birthday so it was cake time! Cakes are always tricky in our house, two of us are grain-free, one doesn’t eat chocolate and one eats everything! Carrot cake got the thumbs up from everyone so I set about making a grain-free one…to …
Sunday Brunch is an institution in our house! Whether it’s a fancy restaurant with friends for a Champagne Brunch or a relaxed brunch at home, we always try to make it a bit special. It’s not just the meal to replace breakfast and lunch, it …
