Cheat's Paella

This is a great little recipe for those days when you want a reasonably healthy meal in a short amount of time. It might even work cold for lunch if you made it the night before.


Cheat's Paella

1 packet of dried rice
cold water
butter
1 tin of oily fish
Vegetables

  1. Cook the rice in the water and butter according to the instructions on the packet
  2. Add vegetables to the cooking rice
  3. Stir in the fish

I used Asda's own paella quick cook rice and added asparagus and baby sweetcorn at the start of cooking. I then added mackerel fillets in tomato sauce towards the end of cooking.

Within 10 minutes I had a tasty, satisfying meal!

My Tummy Hurts!

I had a nasty gluten attack last Tuesday. It's now Monday and my tummy still hurts! :(

I have stomach pains and feel sick, especially when I eat food.

Not a happy bunny :(

Free to Enjoy "Indulgent Biscuit Deeelights"

Wow! All I can say to these is wow!

I nipped into Sainsbury's in High Wycombe while moving Ina from Reading to Birmingham to get some snacks for lunch. They had a huge quantity of gluten free stuff reduced. It was all short dated but most of it still had about a month left so I stocked up on pitta bread and sweet pancakes which were about 70% off!

Then I spotted these biscuits down to £2 from £4.99 and I couldn't resist them. That was before tasting them! I'm totally addicted to the crunchy wafers and the soft hazelnut crispy balls which remind me of Ferrero Rocher.




Normally I'm quite good at sharing my gluten free cakes and biscuits with gluten-eating house mates. But not these!

They are mine, all mine!
