Has anyone tried the gluten-free cannoli from affettoitaliano yet? 😍

We recently treated ourselves to the pistachio and salted caramel flavours and, honestly, they were so good!

I ordered them last week and they arrived the very next day, beautifully packaged and ready to enjoy.

If you haven’t tried them yet, I’d definitely recommend them as a little treat. We’ll certainly be ordering again.

If you don’t already, give Affetto Italiano a follow on Facebook and Instagram too – they have some amazing products on offer. 😋

Remember guys you can still place online orders 🫶

Due to the hot weather and some related issues we’ve had to sort out, we’ve decided to close the Cake Shed for now while we get everything back in perfect shape.

We know this might be disappointing, but thank you so much for bearing with us! 🤍

You can still order everything you love directly from our website, with FREE delivery right now 🚚💨

Another great find from our time in Blackpool – papasfishnchips. 🐟
We were really well looked after, with staff making sure everything was okay and taking extra care with our gluten-free meal, cooking it separately using different utensils.
We opted for fish, chips, peas and gravy, including children’s portions, and it didn’t disappoint. The best part for me though was the gluten-free vinegar – such a small touch, but it makes a huge difference. 😊 Next time we go to Blackpool, we’ll definitely be linking up with the Gluten Free Sassy Queen for further recommendations on places to eat. Give her a try if you have a Blackpool trip booked!

Last week we were in Blackpool taking part in the CUO Championships. We spent most of our time at the Winter Gardens and were kept very well fed and watered by the amazing Cafe 24, who have now moved to a lovely new café just a short walk away.

It’s been two years since our last visit to Blackpool and I’ve been waiting all that time to try the fresh donuts everyone talks about… and I can confirm they are absolutely amazing! 😍

To be honest, everything we’ve tried there has been fantastic. They have such a huge range of options and, with a fellow coeliac on their team, you really are in safe hands.

I honestly can’t recommend Cafe 24 enough. If you’re in Blackpool, it’s definitely worth a visit! ❤️

A little reduced-price find in my local Sainsbury’s today and I certainly took full advantage! 🙌🏻

I could have very easily walked straight past them though, as they’d been moved out of the gluten-free section and placed at the top of the regular bread aisle.

If you’re anything like me, I completely bypass that aisle, so it’s frustrating when gluten-free products are moved there. I really don’t understand why they do this when the people buying these items often don’t shop in that area in the first place.

Definitely worth having a quick look around though, as you never know what bargains you might find! 🛒💚

I live in Staffordshire and for the first few years after diagnosis I received prescriptions to help with staple gluten-free foods, but that eventually stopped.

As a family of 5, our food bill is huge. I often hear parents on the school run talking about the rising cost of food, and although I completely understand, I usually stay quiet because I would love our shopping bill to be that low.

The reality is that a gluten-free food shop is incredibly expensive. Bread alone for packed lunches is an essential in our house and costs so much more. If I’m honest, I try not to look too closely at the total when I get to the till! 🙈

Does anyone else feel the same? How much extra do you think being gluten free adds to your weekly food shop? 🛒

Imagine being diagnosed with coeliac disease in Wales today.

You could receive a prepaid gluten free food card to help cover the extra cost of gluten free staples.

Meanwhile, many people in England have seen gluten free prescriptions reduced or removed altogether.

Same condition.
Same medical need.
Very different support.

It’s brilliant to see Wales recognising that a gluten free diet isn’t a lifestyle choice. It’s treatment.

But it does raise a question…

Should support for people with coeliac disease depend on your postcode?

Tell us where you’re from and whether your area offers any help with gluten free food.

👇 We’d love to hear your experience.

Found these in my local Morrisons today! 🎉

I’ve been buying the smaller Old El Paso gluten-free wraps for ages, but this is the first time I’ve seen the LARGE ones. The girls spotted them and they were straight in the trolley as they’re one of our favourites!

Has anyone else spotted them yet?

📍 County Durham followers – this one is for you!

If you’re near Crook, take a look at The Butchers Tap and their 100% gluten-free all-you-can-eat buffet every Saturday from 5pm.

You can enjoy a huge selection of home-cooked dishes inspired by flavours from around the world, without having to worry about gluten. At just £16 per person, it sounds like a fantastic option for a gluten-free night out.

Let me know if you’ve been? I’d love to hear what you thought and what dishes you’d recommend!

📍 If you’re local to Sandbach, make sure you check out Three Sweet Peakes at the Makers Market next Saturday!

After another sell-out at Crewe Market Hall, it’s easy to see why. Their bakes are always freshly made, always gluten free, and made with so much care. 🧁✨

Have you tried them yet? 😊
