Best Ever Gluten Free Homemade Cheesy Garlic Bread

When it comes to carb-laden comfort food, it doesn't get much better than hot-from-the-oven buttery garlic bread smothered in cheese. When I knew I'd have to give up gluten, one of the things I mourned was garlic bread and big bowls of pasta. Thankfully, gluten free pasta is easily found these days, but a good garlic bread that didn't taste like cardboard? Well, that was tricky.

Traditionally, garlic bread is made with slices of French baguette--perfectly crusty and unmistakably delicious. But trying to replicate the crusty-cum-chewiness of a proper baguette without that essential stretchy gluten is pretty damn tough. I'd say it's impossible. Since a baguette was out of the question, I went seeking an alternative and found it in this cob of gluten free sourdough! All I'll say is: holy yum, y'all.

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Coconut Milk Overnight Oats

Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day and I am an oatmeal fiend. So much so that it's bordering on obsession, and when I saw the challenge to develop a recipe using Vita Coco's new coconut milk, I immediately thought of creamy oatmeal.

Leave that from-the-packet stuff with lumps of dehydrated fruit in the back of your cupboard. I'm going to show you how to make your own fruit-filled, creamy oatmeal that is gluten-free, dairy-free, suitable for vegetarians and vegan-friendly. I've used raspberries and peaches because they're seasonal, go incredibly well with coconut and it was too tempting not to, but you can use any fruit you have on hand or whatever is seasonal.

This recipe is an entry into the Dairy-Free Style Your Breakfast challenge with Vita Coco and Foodies100. See more great breakfast ideas at http://vitacoco.com/uk. As such, this is a sponsored post for Vita Coco, however, all opinions remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company. You can read my full disclosure policy, here.

Gluten Free Barbecue Chicken Thighs in the Oven

Y'all, it's hotting up outside! Okay, not in this exact moment, but in general, we're careening towards warmer days! As soon as it gets warm enough to hang the washing on the line, I immediately start thinking of barbecues--nothing beats the taste of food cooked over an open flame. But living in Manchester, those days of optimum barbecue weather are few and far between. All hail the power of barbecue in the oven!

Staying true to my southern American roots, I served this barbecue chicken with the most incredible mashed potatoes and creamed corn.

Gluten Free Irish Potato Champ with Cheese and Bacon

Americans have mastered the loaded potato, the English make a jacket potato that can comfort the soul on a dreary day and the Italians gave us the beautiful gnocchi, but the Northern Irish have trumped all these dishes with their no frills Champ. Champ is mashed potatoes the way they were always meant to be made: with milk, butter and scallions or spring onions, as they're called in the UK. On its own, it's good enough, but I've upped the ante and introduced salty cubes of thick bacon and swapped the milk for super indulgent double cream. This isn't the recipe for you if you're looking to lose a few, but if you're looking for comfort food that'll put a smile on your face, read on!

Champ is one of those new classics, appearing on every brasserie and gastropub menu south of the Giant's Causeway. It's an instant crowd pleaser, dead easy to make and beats the hell out of dusty powdered mash any day of the week. Be ready to dig in ... and to fight for seconds!

Cloud Eggs: The Breakfast that's Prettier than it Tastes

Cloud Eggs are taking social media by storm, but are they worth the hassle?

Cloud Eggs Trending Breakfast

I love a gimmick. And I love eggs, so when I saw cloud eggs trending on Instagram, on Twitter, on actual legitimate news sites I leapt at the chance to try them. These beautiful pillowy concoctions are mesmerising. No two cloud eggs are the same and the golden egg whites looks similar to delicious meringue topping.

But cloud eggs look prettier than they taste. Seriously, they're nasty, y'all. They've got the runny yolk of eggs fried sunny side up. They've got the soft whites of poached eggs. But the texture? It's like eating egg-flavoured cotton candy. Barf, barf, barf. I couldn't even get past the texture to try more than two forkfuls. This is one trend that needs to die quickly. These hyped up eggs are fine for looking at. Just don't put them in your mouth!

Gluten Free Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Bake

We're not often in the mood for heavy gluten free soups and stews, but something light like a vegetarian casserole topped with oozing cheese? Yeah, we're all over that!

A bubbly, oozy cheese sauce that's perfect for dipping or using as the base for casseroles is an essential dish everyone should know how to make. Most cheese sauces aren't gluten free because they're started with a roux, a mix of butter and flour. But this sauce? This sauce is cheesy and stringy and perfect and it's gluten free and made without butter.
