🍞 ALLERGY CHAT… BREAD CHAT… & A LITTLE BIT OF THERMOMIX LOVE! ❤️
It's been over a YEAR since I've taken prescription antihistamines!! 🥳
Honestly, it's insane to think I used to take high-strength antihistamines EVERY single day, along with other preventatives AND even stronger ones to help me sleep at least once a week! 😳
All while trying to help myself feel better… and wondering what effect all those medications might have been having on my gut health!
For years, I was baking loads of homemade bread… only to discover I was actually pretty allergic to wheat, oats, almonds AND barley!! 🤦‍♀️🤣
So all that beautiful homemade bread wasn't exactly doing me any favours!!
To top it off, I was also dealing with candida, which meant cutting out yeast and sugar too! 🫣
Fast-forward to now… and I'm FINALLY at the stage where I can happily bake fresh bread for my boys again. 🥖❤️
Am I insanely jealous when that beautiful fresh bread smell fills the house? ABSOLUTELY!! 🤣
But I'm actually pretty good at resisting temptation these days!
Going gluten-free was HARD!!
Especially when you're someone who absolutely LOVES the easy options…
🍞 Toast for breakfast
🥪 A sandwich for lunch
🥣 Soup with a big chunk of garlic bread
🤤 Or just a slice of fresh bread smothered in butter!!
And let's be fair… finding a store-bought gluten-free bread that actually tastes like a good old-fashioned WHITE BREAD sandwich is no easy task!!
Ploughman's Chia Seed is my go-to these days, but after doing a good year without yeast, I became VERY grateful for what I reckon is the BEST gluten-free scone recipe EVER!! 🙌
And I'm more than happy to share it!
👇 COMMENT "SCONES" BELOW and I'll send you the recipe! ❤️
Now… back to the bread in the photos! 😍
This is Portuguese Bread, made in my Thermomix, and honestly, it's an absolute winner!!
🥖 Minimal ingredients
🥖 Super easy to make
🥖 Works perfectly EVERY single time
🥖 And the boys absolutely LOVE it!!
There's something pretty special about being able to make fresh homemade bread for your family… even when you can't eat it yourself! ❤️
And that's another reason I love my Thermomix… making everyday food from scratch, knowing exactly what's going into it, and making life that little bit easier!
Anyone else out there navigating food allergies or missing a good old-fashioned bread sandwich?! 🤣❤️

A friend pointed out today how privileged I was to be down the river whitebaiting 😍 and yes I 💯 agree.. I am so grateful for my past family history of whitebaiters.. and for my dad having purchased this incredible hut off my best friend's dad.. for being taught how to do things down here... Grateful my husband from the other side of the world loves this place as if he was born to be here!! I'm grateful for the skills he and this place is teaching Zac! The child who hated getting wet, is out there at whatever time required doing the mahi... It's absolutely not easy transitioning from school life to the real world and we want Zac to absolutely thrive on the amazing West Coast.. I'm having to leave him to his devices and allow Danny to help mould him into a strong independent man verses a mummies boy... We all do the easy thing, just so we don't have to listen to the winging.. to have the cleaner outcome... Anything to make our life easier yet at the same time making it harder... Anyway... This privileged life also comes with a lot of juggling the paid job, which I'm used to doing with being away in Wanaka so much... End of day... Life's to be lived, enjoy the ride, experience's and life skills over the day to day grind we all get sucked into.. choosing the so called slower life with less $$$ even though we are working our arse off and the baits just not running.. how lucky are we to live this experience 😍

Ow tonight the thermie is steaming then mashing the potato's to go with leftover mince which will be heated in the trustie Dutch oven...old verses new and still loving making my life that little bit easier 💯

And that's why I love my Thermomix ❤️ It doesn't change our busy lives, but it certainly makes the everyday stuff easier! If you've ever wondered how a Thermie could fit into your life, flick me a message. I'm always happy to show you! 😍

One of our fav ways to cook fish!
To be honest.. I didn't follow the recipe and I put far more fish than was needed, plus added a few microwave rice pouches so had to transfer to the big Dutch oven to finish cooking haha using what we have!!

Tasty!! Was a bit more faffing round than the risottos I usually make but man it was worth it!! Silver beet from the garden instead of cabbage plus some mushrooms that needed used
