We always find Easter a bit difficult when deciding what to do for our son with PKU. We always prepare an easter egg hunt for both our children and try to get some treats that they both like. Keir doesn't like chocolate in any form (phew) and there isn't a great deal of choice for … Continue reading Preparation for Easter – PKU style

PKU Protein Free Yorkshire Puddings
One thing that goes down really well with our son is Low Protein Yorkshire Puddings. As part of preparation for Christmas dinner, I am making Yorkshire Puddings and thought I would share the recipe. It is from Eileen's Fate Food recipe book - I had to adapt this batch as I didn't have Fate Flour … Continue reading PKU Protein Free Yorkshire Puddings
PKU Bagels
Keir really loves bagels. We have found some gluten free bagels in the supermarket which are approximately 2 exchanges and Keir has been really enjoying them. The ones we have been buying are Genius plain bagels. However he always wants more and we have to say no. He asked if we could make him low … Continue reading PKU Bagels
Oat Milk – Updated
I wanted to mention Oat Milk as it has been a game changer for us. Keir has been having oat milk with his cereal in the mornings for about 6 months now. It all happened by accident. One morning, I was pouring oat milk into my cereal and Keir asked what it was and if … Continue reading Oat Milk – Updated
Family Lunch
I wanted to put together a family lunch which we could all enjoy together and was PKU friendly. It was nice to put all of the food in the middle of the table and allow Keir to just help himself for any of the food without any need for weighing. He had a petit filous … Continue reading Family Lunch
Scrumptious PKU Cookies

They had a lovely chewiness in the middle, similar to a honeycomb texture. No crumbling either. This recipe uses golden syrup which gives it a delicious depth to it. I … Continue reading Scrumptious PKU Cookies
PKU Tortilla Wrap Recipe
We have tried various PKU flat bread recipes to make our low protein version of wraps. I think we finally found the recipe that works really well. This one had the perfect texture as it was flexible enough to roll with fillings inside. We served it with a spread of houmus, grated carrots, cucumber and … Continue reading PKU Tortilla Wrap Recipe
Taranis Cake Mix Review
I always keep a couple of Low Protein Cake Mixes in the cupboard so I can whip up some cupcakes quickly for Keir if I need to. In the past I tried, Loprofin and Fate Cake Mixes. I found couple of issues with both. I tend to get caught out as Loprofin Cake Mix needs … Continue reading Taranis Cake Mix Review
PKU Low Protein Waffles
Waffles for breakfast! I announce. Keir says 'what?' and I say 'Waffles! You will like them' , 'Huh?' he responds totaly puzzled. We picked up a sample pack of Taranis Low Protein Waffle mix at the NSPKU Conference and ever since have been searching for waffle plates to fit into our existing grill. Finally Keir's … Continue reading PKU Low Protein Waffles
PKU Chocolate Birthday Cake
We made a chocolate cake for Keir's birthday this weekend. Everyone enjoyed the cake at the party and couldn't tell the difference from a ordinary chocolate cake. I picked a recipe from one of Nutricia's cookery workshops that we attended. It contains exchanges, please double check the exchange value of your ingredients when baking. My cake had … Continue reading PKU Chocolate Birthday Cake
