A quick chilli oil mix for adding to your meal, which will elevate it to the next level.
I used Serenade and Birds Eye chillies.
Recipe below ⬇️
2 serenade chillies, chopped fine
A handful Birds Eye chillies
I/2 tsp minced garlic
1 T tamarind sauce (gluten free)
Enough macadamia oil to just cover chillies
Cut up the chillies and add all ingredients into a container. (I used gloves because the chilli gets under my nail and burns me)
Mix well and close up
Keep refrigerated.

Another Gluten and Dairy free dessert 😊Apple and peach crumble using coconut oil in place of butter, and gluten free flour mix and gluten free oats.
Serve with cream or without, whichever is your preference.
Recipe below:
1 c gluten free flour mix
1/2 c gluten free oats
1/2 c brown sugar (I used a mix of brown and coconut sugar)
3/4 c coconut oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
1 can pie apples
3/4 can peach slices
Pour the fruit into a baking dish and mix them around until they kind of are equally spaced.
Pour the juice from the peaches can over the top and add a little extra water to almost cover the fruit if needed.
Mix the dry ingredients together and then rub the coconut oil into the flour mixture.
(If it looks a little dry, then add a bit more coconut oil)
Spread over the fruit and bake at 180°c until it’s bubbling on the edges and starting to go golden.
Serve warm with cream or ice cream or even on its own.

Date and cashew bars are so good, and gluten and dairy free as a bonus.
I am still on my diet because I am not sure how to proceed with the reintroduction 😂
I tried cheese but my stomach decided to cramp really bad and it also bloated, so I stopped that quickly.
I haven’t added anything else at the moment because I want to wait and settle my stomach again before I introduce a new one.
So this was a great snack that is also healthy.
