Blackberry & Pomegranate Sorbet: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:06:00 +0000

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...

Asparagus & Ricotta Quiche: Playing with Gluten Free Pastry

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 10:53:00 +0000

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...

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe, A Birthday & Tickets!

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:47:00 +0000

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!

Chocolate Zucchini Loaf:: Gluten Free Recipe

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

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 11:50:00 +0000

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...

Doing Good & Chocolate Espresso Cookies:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:26:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:48:00 +0000

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...

Afternoon Apricot & Almond Tea Slice:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 12:12:00 +0000

Something about these sorts of tea slices make me think of my gorgeous Nan, baking with us whilst we were staying over for a night or two as children or as grown ups on one of our numerous trips to Margaret River (even now). Which floats me back to a little over a month ago when Nan came and visited my Mum (and us now - woo hoo!) in Melbourne and we all took a little trip to the Mornington Penninsula. Yes, that's the three of us, three generations; Nan, Mum and I. Photo taken by my...

Nutella-Nana Muffins:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 06:45:00 +0000

It's a long weekend here in Melbourne and it's been glorious! We visited the new South Yarra Markets on Saturday. It was such a gorgeous day that we just walked down. I found a cute vintage navy short sleeve top that still had it's tag on for the fabulous price of just $15. Of course, the shirt was not to be outdone by the super fabulous red metallic heart necklace I bought moments later for the can't-say-no price of 2 dollars! I love finding things that are a little different! It also...

Chocolate Almond & Ginger Cookies:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Mon, 16 May 2011 20:10:00 +0000

There are times in life when you just want a nice crunchy cookie. I have these moments. It's usually around 11am when I'm indulging in the occasional second cup of coffee or maybe a cupp-o-tea. I usually want something crunchy that makes that lovely nom nom sound as you're eating them, so that the person sitting next to you (whose usually eying off you and your morning cookies) wishing that they too, had had the foresight to not only bring in cookies to go with their morning cuppa, but to...

Chocolate Hazelnut & Banana Milkshake:: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 10 May 2011 05:43:00 +0000

There are mornings when I just don't feel like gluten free toast with butter and jam, nor fried eggs on gluten free hasbrowns or even some gluten free muesli on yoghurt.... sometimes I just want a smoothie. Now, that's not in the "usual" morning smoothie sense. I mean, my Mum has green juices in the mornings and carrot juices and the like (she's a health nut - I like to say my mission is to feed her naughty gluten free treats!), but, it's just not me. I like my veggies with my lunch...

I've been a photographer's assistant for quite sometime, actually, since I was big enough to hold a professional sized camera I've been following my Dad around with one! I've also helped out Sammi, who is a gorgeous person and photographer behind some of the most lovely wedding photography in Perth, Western Australia. This past January, I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding. Solo. Yep, all by my lonesome. No Dad, no Sammi. Just me. My camera. A backup camera (thanks work!) a...

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 11:08:00 +0000

So, clearly this post is a little later than my facebook teaser mentioned, but sometimes life gets in the way. In my case that's involved lots of phone calls to contractors (thanks to a kitchen renovation) and calls to insurance agencies and removalists because we're moving house! It's all very exciting and I can't wait to share with you our new neighbourhood, but you'll have to wait a little while until we've moved and got a little settled, so if it seems a bit quiet round here - that's...

Double Chocolate Love (for Valentine's Day):: Gluten Free Recipe

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 23:42:00 +0000

It's Valentine's Day and there is love, roses, champagne and chocolate to be had. Personally, I know there won't be any roses from my man and I highly doubt there will be chocolate, but that's ok as a good friend of mine bought me a red rose just the other day (thanks E!) and I made these delicious little gluten free chocolate coated chocolate brownies just last week! My man and I will, however, be indulging in our Valentine's Day tradition of a bottle of nice Champagne and an evening to...

noreply@blogger.com (jas - the gluten free scallywag) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 13:51:00 +0000

Yesterday, I made gluten free banana muffins. They. Were. Horrible. I threw them out. Really, they couldn't be be saved. It's the second batch of buttermilk/oil based muffins that haven't worked for me - is it too soon to give up? I don't think so, so I am giving up and sticking with my trusty old banana muffin recipe which works a treat every time! Well, apart from the gluten free banana muffin fail, I also cleaned out the study. Lots of filing, opening of old birthday cards (I found $100 -...
