     We all know what it’s like when we’re invited to a coffee date with a friend, you’re sat amongst tasty looking sandwiches and cakes, your tummy rumbling, knowing you can’t have any of them… but, things are about to change my gluten free chums because…

  2. Best News Ever – Gluten Free Wraps!

    May 19, 2013 by Saara

    Since I’ve not been blogging/tweeting lately, it seems like I miss out on all the news in coeliac world!

    And it was only this morning when going through my tweets that I saw something that actually made me scream with delight – GLUTEN FREE WRAPS!

    Yes, that’s right. Warbutons have brought out their own range of gluten free wraps and I’m pretty excited to try them!

    Us coeliacs have not been lucky when it comes to gluten free wraps. Firstly we had those horrid, dry as leather, wraps from LoveMore (you can read my review here).

    I even had a try at making my own gluten free wraps (recipe here) and although they were quite tasty – I missed the convenience of having already made ones.

    Then Caliegh from Gluten Free[k] came to the rescue and showed us where we could order authentic Mexican gluten free corn tortillas from Mex Grocer.

     

    But now, instead of ordering out gluten free wraps online, we can pick them up at our usual supermarket chains when we do our weekly shop! – HURRAY

     

    For a more indepth review of the new gluten free wraps by Warbutons (and also have a nosey at their other gluten free products) check out the fabulous website: Gluten Free[k]

     

     


  3. Where Have I Been?

    April 27, 2013 by Saara

    So… I think it’s safe to say I’ve kind of been a little absent in the gluten free world lately.

     

    I’ve not blogged and I’ve not tweeted for a couple of weeks months now.

     

    All is well though! I’m still here, I still silently pop on every now again and see how the little gluten free universe is doing and I could never, ever give up on the blogosphere as you guys have been such amazing support to me throughout my gluten free journey.

     

    Things have changed for me. I ended up getting my dream job, working as a branch co’ordinator but I am also working with people who suffer from anxiety and mental health issue, which is something close to my heart. I absolutely love it but it’s a little demanding – I find myself absolutly cream crackered at the end of the day and often find myself comatosed on the sofa watching endless repeats of Big Bang Theory till I can muster the energy to crawl upstairs and into bed!

     

    I’ve also been on a holiday of a lifetime to New Zealand (which I promise to blog all about soon) where I witnessed the lovely Jenni and Dave get married!

    And some of you may know that during the flight to New Zealand I ended up being rushed to hospital in Singapore.

    They suspected I had a grumbling appendix but it turned out to be ovarian cysts – which from what I’ve learnt is quite common but it’s extremely painful. I’m still in a lot of pain now but I’m waiting on more test results (to rule out any other underlying problem) but to help me with the pain I am often popping strong painkillers which knock me out and send me off with the fairies – which is another reason why I’ve not been able to blog.

     

    But I shall be back! And I look forward to catching up in the gluten free blogsophere soon. I can already see exiting things happening, such as Pizza Express doing gluten free pizza bases and Heinz bringing out their gluten  free range (which I am yet to try!) and my god, I have been eating endless amounts of Dominos gluten free pizza!
