This is so exciting! It's a thin bread, which is meant to be able to be flexible etc. I think I spread it a bit too thick, so will try and get it thinner next time. I used the recipe from Gluten Free Gobsmacked. Thinking I might use it as a pizza base for dinner tonight.

Chocolate brownies
I made these from scratch!!! So excited. The recipe is amazing. They are so yummy. Used the recipe from Gluten Free on a Shoestring (GREAT website!). I just replaced the butter with apple sauce and it is fine.

Soy chai latte
Soy chai latte makes uni so much more bearable! I think I should do this more often. I got a fair amount done. Though the (Weight Watchers) points for a soy latte are through the roof!!!

Menu plan

I made up this menu planner printable tonight. I'm still not sure if it's *right* for me, but it's a start. I prefer not to plan to have xyz meal on a certain night. Though some nights I do - Fridays I usually have my folks over, so that means a different meal, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are our scary nights - so usually organise to have dinners in the slow cooker or pressure cooker on those nights. So it's a bit hard to do something that'll set some meals in stone, and not others. However, we are in school holidays at the moment - so anything goes! Because we are gluten/dairy free, I find it easier to cook extra at dinners that we can then have for lunches, otherwise I just don't know what to eat!
So on my printable - I have the meal plan on one side, and then lots of lines for shopping list on the other. I did it as a foldable as without it I would never have had enough room!!
Chicken curry stir fry
So easy!! Just chicken, onion, curry powder, coconut milk and stir fry veg (celery, broccolini, zucchini, carrot and onion). Served with brown rice.

Beef satay
Wonderfully easy recipe from 4 Ingredient's Menu Planning recipe book (found here). I added some frozen stir fry veggies and some rice. Kids loved it, and I'll definitely make it again. One of those things that you could always keep all ingredients on hand for those nights where you just don't feel like cooking!
Excuse my post of the whole pan, but I had a meeting tonight, and hubby was working, so needed to have dinner on the run, so we packed dinner into our Thermoses that I have for the four of us! I think they'll pay for themselves very quickly. These nights I used to rely on takeaway, but with being gluten and dairy free, takeaway just isn't an option anymore.

Brekky dinner
Nothing like a good brekky for dinner. Baked beans, mushrooms, boiled egg, sausages and gluten free toast. Yum! Was a hit with the kids too :-)

Nachos
I made this nachos using the Celebrate Health meal base. They were on special this week, I think at Coles. Made for a quick and easy meal - only needed to add the mince, kidney beans and a tin of tomatoes. I added lactose free cheese and gluten free corn chips. They were a great hit with the kids!

Apricot chicken
I made apricot chicken in the slow cooker. Served with brown rice. I based it on a recipe from the Healthy Chef, though I used tinned apricots rather than fresh. I also added carrot and sweet potato which I blitzed in my Ninja (food processor) to make it extra saucy and add more veggies without the kids noticing. It was great, the kids both had seconds (which is unusual for my son!), and it also freezes well!
Faux icecream
Nothing like faux icecream as an afternoon treat. Kids said it was the best afternoon tea EVER! So I think it was a hit! Just blended frozen fruit (banana, peach, blueberries, strawberries), flaxseed, yoghurt and honey.

Lactose free yoghurt
Homemade lactose free yoghurt. Yum!!! Made in my electric yoghurt maker with dairy free starter and Aldi lactose free milk. Bit bland, but not tart like I expected - it's beautiful with some honey and pureed fruit through it.

Pikelets
Pikelets made from Aldi HasNo maple flavoured pancake packet mix. Turned out great! They taste amazing, and I've frozen them in lots of two, with DF/GF chocolate spread.
