Lactose-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte
This time of year all I need is my favourite autumn accessory: a pumpkin spice latte. I hear you laughing, "A drink as an accessory?!" Believe me; with as often as I've got a homemade latte clutched in my hands, it certainly is an accessory! This pumpkin spice latte is different, though, it's completely lactose free--from the frothy milk inside to the crown of whipped cream on top. And I'm warning you: it's pretty much life.
Oh and one more thing before we get to the ingredients list, don't be tied down by my measurements. Everybody likes their coffee differently. Use as much sugar as you like or no sugar. Make it a triple espresso if want it stronger or even opt for decaf coffee instead. Your brew; your rules!

Gluten-Free Cottage Loaf
There's a running joke amongst coeliacs and it's this: gluten-free bread. Okay, so maybe it's not that bad but gluten-free bread 9 times out of 10 leaves something (a lot of something, in fact) to be desired. Gluten is what makes normal bread lovely and stretchy and indulgent and nice to eat. Take that away you're mostly left with pale rocks masquerading as bread. Still, even with the general challenge gluten free breadmaking poses, I was excited for this week's technical challenge in the #GBBOGlutenFree bake along!
Warm yourself with a hearty bowl of authentic American-style gluten free chilli cooked in the slow cooker for 9 hours for a flavourful autumn meal!

Gluten-Free 9 Hour American Chilli
It seems the weather has suddenly turned frigid here in Manchester! I've swapped ballerina pumps for suede ankle boots and can't dare leave the house without a wrap or a throw. The leaves are changing on the trees and my Instagram feed (come join me on Instagram & get your fill of gluten-free food porn) is overrun with snaps of pumpkin spice lattes. And even though fall doesn't officially kick off until Friday, I've begun to indulge in it just a little bit early this year.
Autumn was made for hearty meals that cook themselves, leaving you plenty of time to watch the leaves change and curl up with a hot drink. And nothing says autumn in the American south quite like a bowl of hearty chilli, bursting with beans and packed with meat--this is a protein hit that you'll want to indulge in time and time again. Your family will absolutely love this easy gluten free American chilli recipe. Serve it up southwest style with crunchy tortilla chips for dipping and then use the leftovers to fill fluffy baked potatoes the day after; you'll get two meals from the effort of one!
The perfect accompaniment to any meal or great on their own, these gluten-free vanilla fortune cookies are a cinch to whip up and part of #GBBOGlutenFree!

Gluten-Free Vanilla Fortune Cookies
I love a good fortune cookie, and I'm a total fortune cookie purist: none of those crazy flavours for me, and I want my fortune to be an actual fortune, not just halfhearted advice. Although I've always loved these Chinese takeaway delicacies, I never thought to try making them, so I was both excited and a bit apprehensive when I saw this year's Great British Bake Off contestants try their hand at these bent biscuits.
These gluten-free fortune cookies aren't 100% like normal fortune cookies and that has a lot to do with the flour. As written, this recipe yields a dozen fortune cookies with the texture of shortbread and they're absolutely delicious! Plus, they're so quick and easy to whip up, you'll want to make them every time you opt for a Chinese takeaway!

Considering a meal out in Liverpool? Here are 10 restaurants with options for gluten free diners in Liverpool, Merseyside and on the Wirral.
Liverpool, Merseyside and the Wirral are quickly becoming must-visit destinations for anyone following a gluten free diet. The number of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms offering up suitable options for coeliacs is pretty impressive! You've got the whole gamut in this part of the world: vegetarian cafes with a consciousness about gluten free food, tea rooms serving up award winning gluten free cakes made by a chef with a gluten intolerance and mainstream restaurants partnering with Coeliac UK to ensure their wares are legitimately safe for coeliacs.
Liverpool, with its rich culture and natural tourist trap is showing the country just what it looks like to be coeliac friendly and it's totally winning the game. If you're planning a day out with the Scousers, plug these pit stops into your itinerary for delicious, gluten free food.
Disclosure: restaurants change their recipes, menus and preparation areas at any time and may no longer provide gluten free options. As always, please use this list as a guide and consult with the restaurant before booking or attending as to what their policy is. Finally, please remember that while they may offer a gluten free menu, if the kitchen is not wholly gluten free or if there is no designated area, cross contamination could still occur.
#GBBOGlutenFree is back and these gluten and dairy-free mini Swiss rolls are spiked with espresso and filled with an indulgent whipped cream!

Gluten-Free Mini Espresso Swiss Rolls
Growing up, my favourite snack cakes were oatmeal cream pies and Swiss rolls--twin mini chocolate roulades filled with sweetened cream and covered in a chocolate glaze. They were divine. And of course not gluten or dairy-free. So when I saw last week's technical in the new Great British Bake Off, I was super excited to try my hand at mini Swiss rolls.
Luckily, roulades are often already gluten-free because they don't call for usual flour, so making it dairy free and tszujing it up a bit wasn't too tricky. Hiding inside these mini roulades is just the right amount of espresso powder for added zing.
Here are the latest lists of gluten free UK Halloween sweets and US Halloween candy from each country's most popular brands in a handy free printable!
When I first emigrated to the UK, Halloween was just beginning to take off as a recognised commercial celebration. While there's still a long way to go before it's celebrated as extensively here as it is in America, it's certainly a nice way to break up the dark nights before proper winter sets in!
Of course, a holiday where eating is a big part of the focus poses potential risks for people with food allergies. Given the nature of how Halloween candy is often given (in small, individually wrapped sweets or candy from a larger package) it can be difficult to remember if a sweet is gluten free or not. To combat this and to ensure you and your children have the best possible gluten free Halloween ever, I've created two handy lists of Gluten Free Halloween UK Sweets and US Candy and Chocolate from major suppliers and the most popular brands in each country.
Be Advised:
Please use these lists as guides only--ingredients, recipes and production methods can change at any time. In all cases, I have only included those products which the brands and or manufacturers have stated as clearly being free from gluten. This means they contain no barley, rye or wheat or they contain less than 20ppm gluten level and are therefore deemed to be safe. None of the listed products are produced in a factory which handles gluten products, so there should be minimal fear of cross contamination. Please also be aware that you download the correct list for your country as some sweets or candy produced gluten free in one country may not be gluten free in the other. Ultimately, always check the packaging and ingredients before consuming any sweets or candy, even if it does appear on this list.
From letters to the teacher and clever ways to remind your child about their food intolerance, here's everything you need to know about surviving the school day with a gluten-free child.
We worry about our kids practically every waking moment of the day, especially when they spend so much of that day away from us at school. We worry that they'll not make friends or that they'll get bullied or that they'll feel frightened. When you're the parent of a child with a food allergy or intolerance, you worry even more: will they eat something they shouldn't? Will they have an allergic reaction? The list goes on and on. While nothing will make you stop worrying about your child, here are some useful tips you can employ to keep your gluten free child safe at school. Many of these ideas will also work for children with other allergies or intolerances, too.
There's no need to feel daunted about back-to-school if you're the parent of a food allergy kid. Read on for practical advice, tips and a sample letter you can send to your child's head teacher/principal or classroom teacher to ensure everyone is up to speed about your child's special dietary needs.

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Back to School Biscuits
As a child, back-to-school was my absolute favourite time of year! I'd love to instill that sense of excitement and passion for learning in my son and what better way to encourage it than with a little bit of cookie bribery?! As I mentioned on my roundup of versatile gluten free cookie recipes, cookies make everything better when you're a kid. And these cookies are guaranteed to brighten your kids day--slip them in their lunchbox or have them ready for them when they come home. I chose the phrase Back 2 School and decided to do the other half of the cookies stamped with Year 1 as my son will be in First Grade or Year 1 as it's called here in the UK.
Of course, they're gluten-free, but they're dairy-free too! And they are the nicest, softest, crumbliest biscuits you'll ever eat. That's a promise. I love how quickly this cookie dough comes together and I have to admit to having pinched a few nibbles before it was baked! Also, the lovely folks at Red Candy set me up with my own custom cookie stamp to try out and I'll be giving one away to one incredibly lucky reader too!
