Dairy free life – stained glass Christmas biscuits

Dairy Free Stained Glass Christmas Biscuits

We’re on a bit of an economy drive this Christmas (to be honest, who isn’t?) and so the girls are making presents for people.  Not only does it give us something nice to do together but hopefully people appreciate the effort and something a bit personal.  At least I’m hoping they do.  Either way, . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – stained glass Christmas biscuits

Dairy free life – Christmas cookie jars

christmas cookie jars

I stumbled over this wonderful idea for Christmas presents from Domestic Goddesque – cookie mix in a jar ready to go.

It seemed to me to be the perfect mix of a fairly frugal gift, something practical to do with children and not another bit of plastic that probably wouldn’t survive until New Years.

Dairy free life – spicy pumpkin chowder

This is one of those warm you down to your toes soups that is perfect now the nights are drawing in.  This is one of a trilogy of pumpkin recipes from my favourite cookbook Economy Gastronomy – trouble is I haven’t yet worked out how to make a dairy free risotto to use the . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – spicy pumpkin chowder

Innocent spooky veggie fun

hocus & pocus - halloween veggie monsters

We’re big fans of Innocent in the Muddling household so when they sent us a box full of all the bits to create a fruity freak or veg monster to fill in a half term afternoon we were delighted to join in.

The challenge was to delve in to the deepest darkest hollows of . . . → Read More: Innocent spooky veggie fun

Dairy free life – gingerbread men

dairy free gingerbread biscuits

 Or rather biscuits because my gingerbread man cutter has gone missing somewhere in the kitchen renovation chaos. 

On the plus side if you make biscuits then you can let the children loose with icing and sprinkles to decorate them afterwards.

We like strong flavours in our household – some people don’t so play around . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – gingerbread men

Dairy free life – chocolate fairy cakes

dairy free chocolate fairy cakes

Littler’s 2nd birthday is coming up and my Gran’s 96th birthday gave me a chance to try out a new dairy free chocolate fairy cake recipe.  These are moist, chocolate-y and yummy.  The speed with which they disappeared was proof that taste as good as they look.

 

Only issue is that the real . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – chocolate fairy cakes

Dairy free life – apple & blackberry crumble

dairy free apple & blackberry crumble

Apple and blackberry crumble is one of the signs that autumn is coming – warming and tasty and now dairy free.  This one was made with blackberries gathered in our local hedges and our home grown apples.  Its my husband’s favourite pudding so despite having no kitchen I thought that after and afternoon foraging . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – apple & blackberry crumble

Dairy free life – toad in the hole

dairy free toad in the hole

The season is changing and its definitely time to start bringing out the comfort food.  The only trouble is that most of them are loaded up with dairy products – I can’t quite conjure up a dairy free macaroni cheese (please PLEASE let her be able to eat soya soon so we can have . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – toad in the hole

Dairy free life – Spanish omelette

dairy free spanish omelette

This is a family favourite – its probably the only thing I’ve ever cooked where Mr Muddling has come back for thirds and if that isn’t a recommendation I don’t know what one is!

 

You can either make this in one big frying pan or make tiny ones in a well oiled fairy . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – Spanish omelette

Dairy free life – chocolatey rice krispie cakes

chocolate rice krispie cakes

One of the downsides of living dairy free is the lack of chocolate (well excepting the lovely Moo Free chocolates) and the number of traditional party foods that fall into the can’t have camp.

 

Last weekend we had a birthday party for Mr Muddling (29 again…) and the girls and I decided to . . . → Read More: Dairy free life – chocolatey rice krispie cakes
