Stop what you're doing, because I want you to pay attention. I've got the most incredible, delicious, fragrant, heartwarming breakfast ever imagined to share with you. You see that lovely bowl of yum up there? It's filled with yogurt and granola that I toasted and sweetened myself in my own oven just minutes before devouring. It's a TIY (toast-it-yourself) granola kit from the geniuses at Troo and it will change your life.

I first fell in love with the idea of Troo Granola scrolling through some of the popular gluten free hashtags on Instagram and was blown away by their brilliant concept: make your own granola fresh each morning and make your day a bajillion times better. (Okay, so that whole making your day better isn't a marketing promise; it's just my experience of what happened and I'm 98 per cent certain it'll happen to you too.)

Coconut shrimp is one of those staple American dishes--popular all over the country in restaurants and bars. Whether you use teeny tiny baby shrimps or big king prawns, the combination of sweet shrimp with even sweeter coconut dunked in spicy and sweet Thai chili sauce is absolutely superb. Seriously, my mouth is watering just remembering how delicious this dish was.

The Sustainable Way to Binge Read Magazines

Discover the sustainable way to binge read magazines, declutter your life and save money!

My husband and I are magazine obsessed. He has an entire 6 foot tall bookcase devoted to a lifetime  of magazines he loves and I'm well on my way to collecting as many. The problem is, after paying a premium for a glossy magazine of your favourite topic, you don't want to chuck it in the recycling bin after use. At around £4.99 per 'zine, those 150 or so glossy pages of inspo can cost you a small fortune.

In an effort to declutter, save cash and be more sustainable, we drastically reduced our magazine consumption ... and then we discovered the Readly app and all our magazine pet peeves and problems were solved. Readly wants you to discover their app too and are offering you a free trial! Jump to the offer!

My account is a mix of all my favourite interests: there are loads of cooking magazines like BBC Good Food, BBC Easy Cook, Food to Love, Olive and Delicious and gluten free magazines too like Easy Gluten-Free. But then I've saved Yoga Journal, Thrive, Psychologies, Mollie Makes, Wanderlust, The Lonely Planet, Elle Decoration and The Week. If I went to the shops and individually purchased the latest edition of each of those, it would cost me over £50 and I'd be left with a stack of magazines to either dispose of or try to find space for on already crammed bookshelves. No thanks.

But with Readly, all of my favourite magazines and new titles I'd never even heard of are available to me for less than £10 a month. I can flip through a current  or a previous issue of a magazine any time on my phone or tablet whether I'm connected to wifi or not. It doesn't eat up a ton of space on your phone, either. It truly is the perfect solution to staying current with your favourite magazines in an economical and eco-friendly way.

  3. You can go back to past issues of the magazines and read those.
  4. You can view magazines from other countries! There are thousands of UK and Ireland magazines, but you can also view titles from the United States, Australia, Canada and beyond!

Gluten-Free One-Pot Taco Pasta

When I was pregnant, a lot of my food cravings were for textures more than actual foods. I may not have known exactly what I wanted to eat, but I always knew what I wanted the food to feel like and one of my big texture cravings was for something creamy and savoury. This pasta dish ticks that box. There's no heavy traditional pasta sauce here, instead, you use a nice guacamole as your sauce and thin it out with a bit of sour cream. I'm telling you now, you. will. swoon.

This creamy, gluten free taco pasta is cooked in one pot and comes together in under 20 minutes, giving you your evenings back!

Seriously, the only thing better than cheesy, creamy comfort food is not having to spend hours in the kitchen preparing it. This whole meal is ready in less than 20 minutes--that's quicker than an episode of Paw Patrol, so by the time you've finished bribing your child with the show, dinner is on the table and cool enough for them to eat. Plus there's only one pot, so doing the washing up won't take ages. This is what we in the Mommahood call a win; win and this dish is definitely a weeknight winner!

Rule #354 for surviving life as an expat: don't judge a dish by its name! While Brits aren't exactly renown around the world for their culinary triumphs (save for fish and chips and afternoon tea, of course), some of their lesser-known dishes are pretty damn tasty. As is the case with today's recipe: toad in the hole.

Gluten Free Easy Orange Chicken

Nothing beats a Friday night takeaway. Relaxing at the end of a long week and enjoying the fruits of someone else's labour of love in the kitchen is my idea of a good way to relax. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find a reliable takeaway that definitely won't contain gluten or be cross-contaminated, so the next best thing is to make those takeaways yourself. Don't feel intimidated by the long list of ingredients, it's really easy to whip up this delicious dish and I guarantee, it'll be added to your rotation of favourite meals!
