gluten free pineapple tarts
A childhood favourite of mine is pineapple tarts - we bought these every Chinese New Year and I would swiftly scoff these down! To make the gluten free version of pineapple tarts, I used Rowie's Shortcrust Pastry Mix for the base and then made my own pineapple jam to place on top. Delicious!
Pineapple Jam Add the pineapples and sugar in a pot and heat on the stove. Stir regularly to avoid burning. Remove from stove once it starts to smell and look like jam. Add jam to the pastry bases you've cut up, and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the pastry starts to brown. Posted by Tracey |

gluten free chocolate cake
I love it when I find bargains.... This cake was made from the Woolworth's Freefrom range of cake mixes - which was on special last weekend. A whole cake for $1.17! I did add in a large tablespoon of nutella to make it extra gooey - and it did the trick ;) Very moist and chocolately Posted by Tracey |

Coles supermarkets
I had to make a new post to tell you how impressed I am with Coles supermarkets lately! Now that Freedom Foods and Uncle Rick's have come out with their frozen range of gluten free food, each Coles supermarket I've visited has been fully stocked with the full gluten free range. Very impressive! Here are a few of my treats this week - the gluten free lamington by Uncle Rick's, gluten free whipped cream by Tatua, Freedom Foods drinking chocolate, Uncle Rick's gluten free meat pie and Freedom Foods' salmon cakes.    .. and there's still more to taste!

Gluten Free Cookies by Healtheries
 Healtheries have changed their gluten free choc chip biscuit packaging, so if you're on the lookout for some great gluten free cookies, then look out for the red box! Healtheries Simple Choc Chip Cookies are bite sized - which is the only downside for me, because it only makes me want more! They're a little bit gingery too - but so so good. My new favourite gluten free cookie? Could be.. but then again all gluten free cookies have been amazing. Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Select Foods Gluten Free Muffins
I am sorry for not updating as regularly as before! Seems as though I've eaten all the gluten free food in Sydney, everything is naturally in my kitchen, belly or in this blog. Anyway! I finally got around to baking the Select Foods Gluten Free White Chocolate Muffins, from the mix I bought from the Expo a month or so ago. Surprisingly, it didn't taste too much different to any other great tasting wheat-filled muffin. Mum didn't know the difference! Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Mrs May's Pumpkin Crunch (wheat free)
DVC in Castle Towers had a whole rack of Mrs Mays products and I dived right in! The Pumpkin Crunch is tasty and a great nibbley snack - and is Wheat Free, Dairy Free with NO preservatives or additives (which is even better). I'll need to go back and grab a few more bags for my handbag! Mrs May's is an American company I found my Mrs May's at - DVC Discount Vitamin Centre Posted by Tracey | Comments 2 |

Ribena - gluten free!
Good news, Ribena fans! Ribena is gluten free. According to the Ribena UK website -
Ribena juice drinks are gluten-free and suitable for individuals with coeliac disease. Some of the juice drinks contain glucose fructose syrup (from wheat or maize). However, the European Food Safety Authority* advises that wheat-based glucose syrups are gluten-free** and as such are unlikely to cause an adverse reaction in individuals with coeliac disease. *Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (adopted on 19 October 2004). **provided that the provisional value of gluten considered by Codex Alimentarius for foods rendered gluten-free (currently 200mg/kg) is not exceeded. www.ribena.co.uk/accessible/faq/index.html#15 Of course, if you are still worried about the glucose fructose levels, then best to avoid Ribena and/or read all labels before you try it.

Is Ribena suitable for individuals with coeliac disease / gluten-free diets?
Apricot & Almond Bar
 While out hunting for a quick, wheat free snack - I stumbled upon this yummy Apricot & Almond Bar in the health food section of the pharmacy. Great tasting and enough for afternoon tea, or a bite between breakfast and lunch. Gluten free, wheat free, dairy free. Apricot & Almond Bar by Your Health, $1.95 from Ozepharmacy, Hills Homemaker Centre. Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Gluten Free Double Choc Biscuits
Another great product from Woolworths' 'Free From' range - Gluten Free Double Choc Biscuits. Again, really tasty like the Gluten Free Choc Coated Biscuits and my husband couldn't get enough of them either and they were gone within 24 hours. If they keep this up, Woolworths will see me every week from now on! Woolworths Freecall - 1800 103 515 for more info. Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Bissap Hibiscus Drinks
Taken from the website - Hibiscus has also been used in certain folk remedies for liver disorder. It is believed by many cultures to relieve the effects of hangovers, it is a digestive and an emollient (something which softens and soothes the skin). It's reallly sweet, so I add alot of ice so it's both icy cold and mixed with a little water as the ice melts. Perfect! Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Rowie's Cakes
The stall was one of maybe 2 that offered gluten free, wheat free, yeast free specialities - the other being various jams, chutneys and spreads which I'll get to later on. While I was there early (around 8am), I had missed out on 1 of the 4 types of cakes there - but I did snag 1 of each of the rest.  Raspberry Layer Cake, Wicked Chocolate Paneggforte, Creamy Soy Coconut Chocolate ganache were the 3 I took back with me for morning tea. I missed out on the Potato Flour Feather Cakes, which is a good excuse to go back next time for more!

Raspberry parfait
As seen on Queer Eye (episode 124), Ted teaches Mark how to make Raspberry parfait for his gluten-intolerant wife Cindy. How cool to see more tv cooks get into gluten free recipes :D It's just a shame that I can't eat the cream. Let me know if you try this one yourself! Raspberry parfait Ingredients Zest of one lemon (just the yellow part of the rind, grated) Instructions Beat cream and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a bowl with a mixer on the highest speed until it holds stiff peaks. Assemble the layers of cream and raspberries in a tall parfait glass, separating each layer with a thin layer of zest. Garnish with more raspberries if desired. Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |
Flourless Carrot Cake
 I wanted to make a carrot cake this weekend, so when I found this Flourless Carrot Cake recipe, I got to it. Relatively easy to make, coming out of the oven it smelt devine :D Frosted with cream cheese (and icing sugar etc.) my flourless cake was done within the hour. Yum yum.

Gluten Free Cookies
The Vanilla Yo-yo by Gluten Free Gourmet is $2 at the store, and worth every cent! The cookie is vanillary (is that a word?) without being too creamy, and buttery without being overpowering. It actually TASTES like a cookie should, instead of tasting like cardboard. The best part? If you twist it into 2 parts, there's more to enjoy. Yum yum! Perfect with a cup of tea and nothing else (you'll be too busy enjoying the cookie itself, lol). Gluten Free Gourmet's Vanilla Yo Yo is available around Victoria, and of course, Gluten Free Favourites.
Now I know that the Vanilla Yo-yo was hard to beat - but the triple chocolate gave it a run for it's money! Again, at only $2 it's a bargain for a special treat. As soon as I opened the packet I could smell the rich chocolately goodness and it didn't disappoint :D There were chunks of dark and white chocolate dotted in the big cookie that made my husband and I praise the chocolate heavens above. Finally, a decent gluten free chocolate cookie that everyone can enjoy!! My Triple chocolate fudge cookie was bought from Gluten Free Favourites. Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Thomas Chipman Corn Chips
I didn't realise these were Australian - finally a fantastic gluten free chip to enjoy :D I was skeptical on whether it would taste like a corn chip (or end up tasting like cardboard), but they were really tasty - even Regan ate a whole bunch of them (before I devoured the whole packet). From their website - We are proud to confirm that all Thomas Chipman corn chips are certified gluten free by Coeliac Society of Australia. They are Australia's only certified gluten free corn chips. Thomas Chipman Corn Chips They'll be at the Gluten Free Gourmet Expo! And you can buy them online at Gluten Free Favourites Australia or in person at Macro Wholefoods, IGA or Woolworths Posted by Tracey | Comments 2 |

Roberto's Cakes and Party Food
I've always driven past Roberto's on Victoria Rd, but never gone in. That was, until I saw their 'GLUTEN FREE CAKES' sign out the front! It's a tiny store, but with a variety of different gluten free food - cakes, cupcakes, slices, curries, pastries and even mini pizza's. The owner is gluten free himself, so you're sure care is taken with the food they offer :) Roberto's Cakes & Party Food Posted by Tracey | Comments 0 |

Gourmet Treats From Heaven
FANTASTIC cakes - and gluten free! It took me a while to track them down, but now I've tried the raspberry muffin and the carrot cakes. Yum. My favourite is the muffin though, the carrot cake was too crumbly for my liking (but I wouldn't say no if offered!)

mellow yellow carob buttons
Because I can't have chocolate, carob is my source of sweetness when it comes to snacks. Mellow Yellow have a wide range of healthy snacks (I love the Paw Paw) and ontop of that - the BEST carob I've ever had. When it went out of stock for a few weeks, I went on a hunt for a replacement carob but nothing succeeded it and I went without. That's until I checked my Coles one night and there it was, fully stocked! I bought 4 packets, and tend to stock up on more for our pantry. Posted by Tracey |
