I am currently revising for my third year (of a Masters degree) University exams. As every good student knows revision snacks are an essential part of revision.
Having got through my Easter eggs and the vast amount of Milka I bought from France I went in search of new snacks.
My best friend and I have revised together for the last 4 years and each year we share a 1kg tub of Jelly Belly jelly beans. They last us for the 8 weeks or so we spend revising. Luckily they are gluten free so I can still eat them :D
This week I am in Reading visiting my boyfriend, who works down here. I didn't have much food to bring with me so yesterday I paid a visit to Waitrose. I found Riceworks gourmet brown rice chips on buy one get one free. They are THE BEST savoury gluten free snacks. I'm tucking into a bag of the sweet chilli flavour as we speak.
I also found Kelkin Mini Milk Chocolate covered Rice Cakes. These are a nice chocolatey treat without just being a chunk of chocolate and go really nicely with a cup of tea!
Well that's enough of a break for me! Back to the revision
About me
About me la la la
Oh I'm supposed to write something about me here!
Well I'm a twenty-something student studying Pharmacy at Aston Uni. I follow a gluten free diet having had a positive blood test for Coeliac antibodies in December 2006.
I do not have an official diagnosis as I was incredibly ill before going gluten free and my GP decided it was too dangerous for me to eat gluten for 6 more weeks to have the biopsy (having already put me on a gluten free diet.) Part of me regrets this. But I was having fits every time I ate, along with all the typical symptoms, and I just could not put my body through any more of that.
However this means I am not entitled to gluten free foods on prescription. I have fought to be "treated as Coeliac" to no avail. This fact, combined with me being a student, means I try to find, or create, tasty gluten free recipes made from easy-to-find, everyday, cheap(ish!) ingredients.
This is my way of sharing these recipes, and other things I have learnt since being gluten free, with others who might benefit from it.

riceworks are great, I picked them up too. If you go to the website glutenfreesnacksforme.com they have information on the product. You can also answer a survey and obtain a coupon for a free bag of riceworks. Enjoy! Tricia
