A Gluten Free Fryup for Breakfast

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 12:36:00 +0000

There's something about heading out early, boots tied up, jacket buttoned up, scarf wrapped twice around my neck, keeping you warm. Head bent down in the wind, hands in your pockets. Yes, there's nothing like an early morning trip to the markets. I can never decide which I prefer, the piles of fresh fruits and vegetables at the Prahran Markets or the rows and rows of stalls at the Camberwell markets where you can find a bargain at every turn. I suppose it comes down to if I'm hungry or...

Tomato & Pumpkin Soup:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 22 May 2012 12:19:00 +0000

Food is such a comforting thing. I remember eating entire pots of mashed potato when I was sick, I used to put grated cheese on the top and let it melt, eat th top layer and repeat. (Yeah, who said comfort food was healthy?!) It was warm and filled the whole in my tummy and I knew it wouldn't upset my stomach not in a gluten free way, more like aewww... dairy? no not right now, or ewwww.... steak? no not right now, the whole chewing this is too much effort kind of way! I laugh as I remember my...

3rd Blogiversary Vanilla Sundae Cupcakes!

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:41:00 +0000

Three years ago sometime, around-about a week or two ago I decided to start a blog. This one. I named it for my dear Grandad's nickname for me 'Scallywag', which means a little bit cheeky, a rascal, up to no good or in my case one small granddaughter with red hair with a big smile who absolutely adored her Grandad. Yep, Grandad, you are the original Scallywag, I know you're somewhere watching over us and I just want to say that every time it rains, I sing and dance in it. Remembering you....

A Banana Cake, Lactose Free *Cream to serve is optional (whoops!)

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:50:00 +0000

Every week at work we have a fruit box delivered. Every week there are left over bananas and nearly every week I take those poor little leftover guys home to use in smoothies, cheesecakes and most likely in a loaf of banana bread or sometimes a ginger and caramel banana cake, because I just can't bear to seem them be thrown out. We try to be concious of the food that we buy - organic if available, free range eggs, Australian produce and we always try to make the most of the foods we buy and...

Avocado & Mint Toasts for Brunch & A Hamper Giveaway!

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:30:00 +0000

Don't you just love the weekends? Those two days between Friday and Monday where the evenings are ours to do as we wish, the afternoons ripe for (possibly boozy - but I'll deny it all) lunches with your girlfriends and lazy mornings sleeping in in your big bed all by your self whilst your fiance is out riding his bike. Yep, that was my weekend this weekend, although, I must say my gorgeous man did make me dinner last night, pick me up after the deny-it-all-boozy-lunch (that may have extended on...

Currant & Cinnamon Sugar Biscuits: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:39:00 +0000

When I was little, in fact, from the ages of about 6 to 16 my Mum ran a successful wholesale bakery in the Western Suburbs of my hometown of Perth. Ever since I was little I remember Mum being in the kitchen, there were fruitcakes all over the house and the months before Christmas meant that the loungeroom was coated in dust from my assistant duty - tearing the calico for the Christmas Puddings whilst watching old Shirley Temple movies, or talking to Mum as she listend to Roy Orbison or...

Lemon & Passionfruit Curd Sponge & A Feature! Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 11:00:00 +0000

At around about 11am yesterday morning, you may have been driving down Malvern Rd in Prahran and passed a girl with red hair outside of a newsagent jumping up and down with excitement, hugging her fiance and quite possibly sayring rather loudly oh my god I'm in a magazine! I'm in a magazine! I'm. In. A. Maga-zeeene! Well, that was me, because I've been featured (my recipe that is) in the April issue of Masterchef magazine!!! Yooooooo! I was surprised a few months ago to receive an email in...

Fudgy Chocolate Cake:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:44:00 +0000

There's just something about a chocolate cake of the slightly fudgy kind, the kind that is lost somewhere between a lighter style chocolate cake and a rich brownie. The nearly perfect kind in my opinion. Fabulous with a dusting of icing sugar and some tart raspberries, lashings of cream or coated with a thin layer of sweet chocolate icing and toasted coconut for something different. Sometimes however, they're good enough on their own, well, nearly, as the addition of a small glass of muscat...

Gluten Free Ricotta Pancakes

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:09:00 +0000

I'm the first to admit that if there's ever an excuse to go out for breakfast I'll take it. Sunday sleep in, no milk, no gluten free bread in the house, no oil to fry the bacon and eggs, "...but hun, I just don't feel like cooking breakfast....so lets...ummm...go out" insert insane looking cheeky grin here. I've also been known to meet up with girlfriends purely to walk to a breakfast spot, indulge and then walk home, cos what's better than walking off your bacon and eggs before you've even...

Hello (web) world! Wow, I didn't expect to be gone for so long, sorry about that, I do plan on getting back to my regular posting from now on... how was your Australia Day? Ours was lovely, we, being my lovely mum and I, actually headed over the South Australia on a camping trip to meet up with my gorgeous fiance at the end of the Tour Down Under. He doesn't compete, he's just what I call a groupie, he rides around with a bunch of other groupies following the tour and generally just spending...

Australia Day Picnic: Gluten Free Recipes

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:58:00 +0000

What can I say about Australia Day...I love food, I love friends and I love (more than most things) putting the two together! Well, that's not really what Australia Day is all about now is it? Well, I actually think it is about Australia Day as Australia Day, which is a national public holiday on January 26th, is all about getting together with family and friends and chillin out. In Perth that's generally done by relaxing along the foreshore of the Swan River where we show out patriotism by the...

Engagement Roast Lamb

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:52:00 +0000

My life has changed a lot in the last 5+ years. I'm moved from Melbourne to my hometown of Perth where I began work with an amazing team of architect and interior designers and met a man there. A lovely man who I fell in love with. Hard. It's the first time I'd ever fallen in love and boy was I scared. Scared I'd lose him, scared he'd find someone better, scared that I'd do something wrong. However, I was wrong, as he's a steadfast man. A man of few words when it comes to love and life, yet,...

After many, many dishes, trips to the shops for more butter, taste testing, mini photo shoots, emails and more than a few late nights, I'm thrilled to present to you The Gluten Free Scallywag Christmas Magazine. It's filled with recipes for the festive season; cheese platter nibbles, roast Christmas lunches, vegetarian dinners and sweet sweet desserts (as well as a gorgeous DIY to light up your home) Did I mention they're all gluten free too?!

Gluten Free Pavlova:: Grab a Spoon & Dig In!

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:16:00 +0000

Talking and eating with family and friends is something that is, for me, synonomous with this time of year. When generally there's a little stress in the air along with a bunch of tinsel and people get together to catchup and make the most of the warmer months, here in Australia. It's a fabulous time of year and one that I am so glad to be able to spend with those we love, be it the whole clan, just friends or just that certain someone that makes you feel special. I always like to make...

Banana Cake with Caramel Icing: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:09:00 +0000

Did you know that I have red hair and that I've gotten very little flack for it? I have pale skin. I'm Australian. I used to come home from school and have a baked potato as a snack. I like musicals. Half my ipod is dedicated to them. I can eat an entire packet of minties in the previews of a movie. I love popcorn. I would often kill for a Bunnings hotdog when I pass them on the occasional weekend hardware store trip. I love the Harry Potter books and dislike reading true stories. I'm...

Ferrero Rocher Inspired Chocolate Cake: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:31:00 +0000

As I sit here, I'm eating this cake. Yes, you should be jealous, because it's good. In fact, this simple gluten free chocolate cake is now 3days old and it's better than the day it was baked. It's mellowed, become richer. The frosting has helped to trap the moisture inside and keep it that way, like making fruit mince from scratch, you need to leave it for a while for the fruit to taste so good. Don't get me wrong, though, this cake is perfectly F. I. N. E on the first day it's made. In fact it...

Spring seems to have hit Melbourne. Yes, I hear all of you who say but it was raining this afternoong and it was cold of late (it's true it was), however, the Tulip Festival was on last weekend. It was a glorious day. We took our new little car (it's one of these babies - second hand mind you!) for its first long(er) drive out to the Lilydale markets, where we picked up some delcious veggies and creamed honey. There's just something about creamed honey, it's just so very delicious, smother it...

Homemade Baked Beans with Chorizo:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:40:00 +0000

Last weekend I did three things I've never done before. The first was that I bought dried beans (I'm usually a canned bean kinda gal - so much less effort). The secound was I made baked beans from scratch and last, but not least (Mum, if you're reading, please, don't pass out) I ate them! Now, this may not be a big thing for all of you, my fabulous followers, but for lil ol' me, whom (even now) doesn't like fresh tomatoes and really only eats tomato in the form of a creamy napoli sauce or in...

Monday heralded in a new year. A year of being a little bit older and quite possibly a little bit wiser!? It was a day spent at work with colleagues, a lunch in the park and a phone that I had to turn onto low, it was beginning to annoy my colleagues so much *beep beep* awww, xx said happy birthday! *beep beep awww, yy is so sweet! *beep beep*.... but, hey, it was my birthday, I was feeling the love no matter what!

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:51:00 +0000

Somewhere, between the grey skies, biting winds and rain, spring has slowly crept up on Melbourne. This may just be fantabulous early spring weather that will disappear *snap* like that, but either way, we're making the most of it. There are people out on bikes, riding to work, Fawkner Park has people dotted all over it (yes, I'm addicted to iphone-ography) at lunchtimes lapping up the sunshine. We walk to the markets on the weekends with an empty fridge and empty bags, only to return with bags...

Baked Eggs

There are so many things in my life that make me happy. Getting a call from my man when he's interstate, just to tell me he loves me. Sleeping in. Going to the movies. Hearing from a friend. Buying new shoes. Receiving postcards (or mail in general). Nights chilling with friends. Watching Offspring (team Patrick!) and eating late breakfasts. There's just something decadent about a late breakfast, expecially if it's after a sleep in! Expecially if it's accompanied by a piping hot...

Yesterday, we took part in the 5km walk/run (I walked) for Run Melbourne. If you follow me on twitter you may have seen the pre-walk pic that I shared. I was happy to have hit my goal of raising $100 for Ovarian Cancer Australia, and as I had promised, I doubled every dollar up to that $100 that my friends and family helped me to raise. We'll find out if I get a few more dollars from my workmates when I find out my time on Tuesday.... 42minutes, was my goal, but after feeling less than 100% I...

Three Kinds of Sugar & Sticky. Chewy. Caramels.

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 03:22:00 +0000

Sometimes, just sometimes, you need to go all out on the sugar front. I mean there’s desserts and then there’s sweets, like candies, or in this case, caramels. These are the have only every now an then kind of treat, as, opposed to say a piece of gluten free cake or apricot tea slice with every afternoon cuppa. These are the things that you eat only when you’ve been working your butt off at the gym, swimming laps in the pools, chasing your kids round the park for 45minutes (sometimes longer) or...

Gluten Free Cannelloni with a Difference & Silly Thoughts

When I was about 12 years old my Mum owned this pair of shorts. They were a sort of grey-green in that suede look quickdry material that was huge some decade and a half ago. They were elasticated waist. A few centimetres above the knee. Really comfy - for her. Me? Little ol' me with no freckles, straight red hair, who mainly walked around in jeans and old surfbrand t-shirts and singlets (thanks to my Dad's surf life saving career, and the fact that Mum and Dad started a...
