Lovely Lollies, Garden Update & Free-From Goodies!
Wow! First of all a BIG thank you to my wonderful hubby for battling through London just because I wanted to go to the @Allergyshow & Free-From show! 🙂 Yes, London has the tube (metro/underground) but unfortunately it’s not very mobility scooter friendly! PLUS the parking for the whole day was less than a third of the price of train tickets! Besides, there is NO way we could’ve brought back all these goodies on the train!!!
- #Allergyshow sponsored by Schar! Freebies!
- Does it look like I just went for the shopping!?
Amazing! There were so many stalls that we didn’t make it to all of them! I had made a list before I went of the companies I wanted to see (yes almost all were food)! which helped a bit 🙂 but when there were freebies of foods it was near impossible to get to a stand if you were standing let alone if like me you were sitting down! Anyway, the stalls we did visit more than made up for it and I could not be disappointed in any way! My favourite new savoury snack is Oh My Gosh so yummy! Lol… it’s actually called ‘Gosh’! 😛 Don’t tell anyone that I’ve eaten two whole boxes to myself since Sunday! 😛 and my favourite new sweet snack is millionaires shortbread – vegan, gluten and refined sugar free!
- Crunchy base, gooey middle, topped with chocolate!
- GOSH it’s very good! 😛
I will SO make a recipe soon and share it as I’m certain that’s something I need to eat often!!! 😀 Its crumbly, it’s caramelly AND it’s chocolatey… and I found it made by numerous different companies! 😀 Ooo… and we got a new high speed commercial blender! SO excited about that! We’ve already made some nut butter, smoothies and ice-cream! 🙂
- #rubysoflondon gorgeous free-from cakes
- Bargain priced puffed rice (3 bags)! 😀
- Hubbys!!! new favourite spread!
- Vegan marshmallows for the littlies
- Delicious spice mixes (too lazy to cook)!
- Gluten free fresh pasta
- Dairy-free crunchie pieces
- Hot chocolate with cinnamon #gochocchick
- My favourite! Unsweetened carton coconut milk #kokomilk
- WOW! Love this vegan yogurt and vegan ICE-CREAM!!
Anyway, in the UK we’ve had SO much rain! Unfortunately this has killed off most of our strawberries, but have a look at what else is growing! Blueberries, gooseberries, redcurrants, courgettes, peas, mangetout, even the tomatoes have started! 🙂 I have to thank Sophie over @SophiesFoodieFiles as all of her photos of her allotment last year encouraged me to start growing again… Thank You! 😀
Lovely lollies! Well, we couldn’t not have a recipe! 😛 It is allegedly summer so what better way to cool off than to have a delicious home made selection of lollies! Simple… blend up your fruits, add a bit of your favourite milk (or not!), pour into moulds and freeze! Yumyum!

Wow! Long message Sophie Thank you! 😀 😀 😀 It’s amazing to just wander out the back door and pick blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or gooseberries! How yummy! 😀 Love that I can just go and pick a courgette or peas for dinner too! Thank you 😀 xxx
The allergy show was great 🙂 So many yummy things there! (I think I need another word for yummy 😛 ) I’m trying to be totally gluten free but don’t fuss if I have regular vinegar on my chips for example! Ah… I need to go to the cake shop! Delicious!!! 🙂 Just eating an ice-pop now – as it’s 32 degrees outside!!! Wow UK what’s happening!!! Oh and I just had an amazing blueberry yogurt… I think you need a holiday in UK Sophie!!! 😀 xxx
I have been to the UK, Scotland & Wales about 20-15 years ago & I am a real anglofile too! xxx
