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.

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.

Scrumptious PKU Cookies
We have tried out a new Low Protein Cookie recipe from Fate Special Foods. These cookies were very simple to make and they tasted divine. 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

My cake had … Continue reading PKU Chocolate Birthday Cake

The recipe is very easy to follow and you can change the toppings for your own choice. Keir loves olives so … Continue reading PKU Pizza Muffins
