Pan-cake addiction

So Josh and I have slowly become addicted/depended on eating Gluten free pancakes for Breakfast on weekends. And its hard to say but Josh usually does a better job on the pancakes than me. So I let him make the pancakes most of the time but this particular Saturday I thought you know lets just see how good I can make these pancakes. The pancakes Josh usually makes for scratch but sometimes when we are in a hurry or want them quickly (sometimes I get the urged for pancakes- who doesnt!) we use macros buttermilk pancakes. This saturday I used the pancake mix as I love the taste the buttermilk is to die for, now I don't have tickets on myself but I think the pancakes I made were just brilliant. They looked and tasted Amazing! I must confuse I had four on my plate but went back for two more haha, all I can say is I am thankful Joshua wasn't wanting them or I would of possibly had to fight to the death for those delicious pancakes. Speaking of pancakes I think I am feeling them right now, lucky I am on holidays as I can have them for lunch. This is a healthy lunch don't you think hehe.

I have two pictures to share- do yourself a gluten free favour and buy the mix :-)

Curry time

Rachelle and I decided to make dinner for our Fellas. Curry was the name of the night and we decided to make a mussaman curry and a lovely spicy chicken curry. Rachelle braved making a gluten free naan bread for us which was amazing. The house smelled like curry and was so good when the boys got home from the football. Their little faces smiled and you could see the excitement of what they were about to encounter. We got a few brownie points for our curry efforts, and Rachelle gets a few more for the amazing naan bread. I do have a pretty impressive, sweet best friend. I must say I am head over heels for Curry and this night was no exception. I get full but I don't/ can't stop eating it, and yes I might get fat but at least I have eaten some AMAZING curries.

Ruby moments

A short time ago I held my first Ruby Ellen Vintage Party. Its a collection of my vintage treasures I have collected, it combines my love of Vintage and people. It was a successful afternoon, and my best friend Rachelle came to support me with a lovely batch of Gluten Free white chocolate melting moments. They were to die for, she is pretty talented in the kitchen.

Rachelle is such a sweetie she always knows how to support me with yummy treats hehe!  They only took her 20 minutes to whip up which is great if your on the run to a tea catch up with a gal pal. I think they'd be the perfect match for a lovely high time party :-)

The pictures below are of the Ruby Ellen store I had a great time and can't wait for the next one!

I feel Ruby will be eating a lot of lovely things next time round.

Gluten free burgers

If your craving a gluten free burger do yourself a favour and go get a FAB burger in Hilarys. Best and biggest burgers, my dad and I decided on the Aussie burger which comes with pineapple, beetroot and egg. My gosh it was possibly the most amazing burger I have ever had, and me and my dad have eaten a lot of burgers on our daddy daughter dates. We like to try burgers from all different places, this gluten free burger was the best by far. Even if you don't need to eat gluten free you'll still enjoy this burger, and just before you think I'm a complete piggy I didn't or couldn't eat it all. But even thinking about it now I wish i had it was amazing. Please note I had to take it apart, as my mouth isn't that big hehe.

Scar..Boys don't cry

A chilly Saturday night Josh, Cam, Rachelle and I had a lovely evening full of yummy gluten free pasta, delightful sangria, expensive Cognac, great conversation and the Cure- the sound track to our night. We sat outside with our little outdoor heater and talked about our dreams our own business and all the wonderful things we'd bring to the market, we talked about our favourite Cure song and why it was so special to us. We laughed, danced, took photos, drunk, joked and requested songs when the Cure album ended. When I was sitting there and even now thinking about it thats whats life is about enjoying your time with your closest and dearest friends and family. Josh, Cam and Rachelle and I are extremely close and we have such a great time with each other, I have these special planteers to share this memory with. I take a step back during the night and think my god, I'm so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. They all make me laugh, smile and enjoy life more. Eventually we started to get a little giggly shall I say and James Brown was blasted from the record player and we all danced like kids at the Wiggles concert. 

 Note: Please stay away from the flame.

I couldn't help but feel so good after a really great night with my closest friends, and I think that its just another memory to add to a fountain of memories with those three special people. I think about when I'm older and I'm telling my kids about the crazy antics I got up to this will be one of those memories I think of smile and well one time long ago we had a date with the night and the Cure were invited..... and one of us may have a reminder of that night forever!

So a toast to my three closest and dearest friends- thank you for the countless memories just like this one and I know we'll make many many more. I thank you for support, care, love, giggles, sense of humours, cravings, Camelot, dancing, impeccable song choice, breakfast, lunch and dinner dates. You will forever be my dear, best friends.

Chocolate Clouds

I have as everyone from time to time the urgency for a slice of chocolate cake, I needed a quick fix and had purchased a Macro gluten free packet mix choc cake. I was curious to see how it would come out ( hopefully not the consistency of rubber) and most important how good it would tasted.... Let me say it was well worth the $ 6.00, the 10 minute preparation and 30 minute cooking time. It was so chocolatey, so fluffy like a chocolate cloud. It definitely fulfilled my chocolate cake needs, and the men in the house enjoyed it throughly. I had one piece and the rest was gone, very fast. So I believe it was pretty good :-) The only problem was that it wasn't easiest to photograph it and make it look darling, the chocolate cake doesn't have beautiful defined curves or sculpted abs or a strong jaw but it is full of chocolate and tasted amazing. 

I purchased this lovely little treat from woolworths in the Gluten free section. 
I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Brown Betty.

On a lovely Saturday morning myself, my dear friend Rachelle and my handsome fella Josh had an early  yummy breakfast- Gluten free pancakes! Courtesy of my lovely better half, we all enjoyed the fluffy parcels of deliciousness while discussing that gluten free looks and tastes fantastic and doesn't leave you feeling bloated and heavy. Now I maybe bias but Josh's pancake skills are pretty amazing, he can always make and flip a mean pancake and he's perfected the gluten free pancakes which can be very temperamental... While I decided to bring out my gorgeous teapot- Brown Betty to make a lovely large pot of Earl Grey. Brown Betty has been in my family for a long time, my father gave it to me to cherish just last year and it was given to him by his Father whose Mother was the owner.  My dad remembers His Grandmother using when he was little. It holds such value to me and my father and might I add always delivers a good pot of tea! Nothing I like more than a rather large cup and a even larger tea pot to start off a great morning. We all enjoyed and gluten free pancakes and tea, we were all very quiet at the table hehe :-)  

The key to fluffy gluten free pancakes are to beat your eggs with an electric beater and then add the gluten free flour and a little olive oil. I always like to add some cinnamon and/or nutmeg to add a little sweet flavour.
