Gluten Free Girlie Out and About – Wee Guy’s Cafe Glasgow – A Review

Wee Guy's is one of those little places that make me feel at home. Before my diagnosis, my mum and I would go in there before I started work in the morning to have toast and jam and a chat. They even buttered and jammed the toast for you - and it was exactly how my… Continue reading Gluten Free Girlie Out and About – Wee Guy’s Cafe Glasgow – A Review

Merry Christmas from Gluten Free Girlie

After the tragedy that struck Glasgow this week taking the lives of 6 people including a schoolmate of mine as well as some significant personal issues happening this week I realise how short life is.

Glutafin- A Generous Gesture for Newly Diagnosed Coeliacs

One of my work colleagues had told me about a website that sent out samples of their products to people with coeliac disease to try for free! With my recent gluten-free disasters (coconut flour pancakes - for instance) I would be grateful for any nudges in the right direction! The other day there was a… Continue reading Glutafin- A Generous Gesture for Newly Diagnosed Coeliacs

At Least After Eights are Gluten Free! – Ashoka Ashton Lane – Glutened!

Once every year around Christmas, my mum and I go for a curry while I'm off work. We have done this for a long time. As most Indian curries are naturally gluten-free and are served with rice, I figured that I would be relatively safe (although I did ask). I was informed that the mains… Continue reading At Least After Eights are Gluten Free! – Ashoka Ashton Lane – Glutened!

Recipe Attempts

Coconut Flour Pancakes Recipe Attempt – Fail :(

Pancakes. Homemade tasty pancakes. I miss them. Solution! To google! I googled coconut flour pancakes and followed me this recipe. I had all the ingredients, and I am not being big headed when I say I'm a good cook. Most of the time it's more a slight adjustment on personal taste if a recipe goes… Continue reading Coconut Flour Pancakes Recipe Attempt – Fail 😦

Review – Pure Bred Bakery Gluten Free Multigrain Loaf

Before my coeliac diagnosis, I was never a massive fan of bread loaves. It wasn't my go-to sandwich making weapon of choice - I'm more of a tortilla or pitta bread girl. "Proper bread" was never high on my list. However, I was in Costco, and it occurred to me that I should maybe try… Continue reading Review – Pure Bred Bakery Gluten Free Multigrain Loaf

Riverhill Coffee Bar – Glasgow – Highly Recommended

On a cold and rainy morning, I decided to pop into Riverhill Coffee Bar with my wee mum for a coffee and hopefully some gluten-free cake. A few weeks ago the lovely Lidia at work let me try a little piece of some gluten-free chilli chocolate cake she had found on her travels. It was… Continue reading Riverhill Coffee Bar – Glasgow – Highly Recommended
