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

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

Finally Keir's … Continue reading PKU Low Protein Waffles

My cake had … Continue reading PKU Chocolate Birthday Cake

I then found out that Keir will be taking part in an Easter Egg Hunt at his nursery and chocolate prizes will be … Continue reading PKU Easter Eggs
FATE Chocolate Sponge Cake
I received our first order of Fate Chocolate Cake Mix last week. I made this tray bake to try it out. I actually used the whole pack as I had slightly bigger tray, it turned out great. It tasted great but it was little crumbly. This could be due to my revising of the cake … Continue reading FATE Chocolate Sponge Cake
