Better Late Than Never!

Ok, ok, I know I'm late! I can only apologise! I pride myself on punctuality and blogging fortnightly has always been my goal BUT I'm full of excuses, something along the lines of ......getting back from holiday, struggling with low FODMAP diet (STILL! Roll on 19th Dec when I can finally meet dietician again!), a vertigo flare up, moving house well under way, numerous meetings with Santander and trying to get my school reports written.....phew......do you let me off?! So, enough of the excuses and the groans, let's get down to business!!

Rossopomodoro (www.rossopomodoro.co.uk) has been my most recent exciting discovery of late. Wow, this pizza blows rival GF pizza bases right outta the water! Seriously thought I'd died and gone to pizza heaven.....Gluten Free?! You would NEVER know!

No need to bring a saw to cut through the base, no arm ache from vigorous cutting and absolute no jaw ache from trying to chew through it!! This is a Coeliac's dream! Puffed up around the edges, with a little crispness to the crust and deliciously soft in the middle! We need more of theses branches opening! Ps....make sure you ring up first as apparently they sell out of the GF dough and that would be a disaster!

As per usual I'm a little behind with the times. I am well aware there has been much hype surrounding these but thought I'd thrown them into the mix....after all, better late than never!

Found these (www.walkersshortbread.com) in Waitrose but they seem to be popping up in other places too. Well worth the purchase! Delicious, buttery, crunchy shortbread which really could be mistaken for the gluten filled variety! Well done Walkers, a quality product which was worth the wait!

During the highs and lows of my FODMAP journey there was a dim and dark phase where I was advised to give up! As it happened, I gave up for about 1 hour before I was right back on the fun filled ride! It just so happened that in that hour Dale treated me to this piece of GF fabulousness! 

Well, if you're gonna fall of the wagon (technically I was advised to step off the wagon!) you may as well do it in style! This cupcake from Lola's Cupcakes (www.lolascupcakes.co.uk) was nearly enough for me to give up FODMAPping for ever! However, my FODMAP work was not over and I will have to wait a few weeks before visiting Lola's again! #sadtimes However, for all you regular GF eaters, get down there and have a Red Velvet for me!

Finally, for any local readers, let's give a little hand rise/ high five/ fist pump for the new re invented Enfield Market! (@EnfieldMarket). It would be great to see a dedicated Free From stall there but in the mean time there are some GF gems to be found! Look what Dale picked up from Retro Gusto

It's an amazing fennel sausage which was then cleverly turned into Sunday dinner!

Sausagemeat in a tomato, carrot, white wine and basil sauce with Parmesan polenta!! Mmmmm! FODMAP friendly too woohooo!

Well, hopefully by the next time we meet I will have ditched this FODMAP lark and will be able to stop meaning about it! We may have better idea of our moving scedule, hopefully the room will havestopped  spinning and my reports might finally be finished!! Here's hoping.........have a good one everyone! (@lizprice79) xx
