:: Mind Your Crumbs ::

About four years I found out I couldn't eat gluten/wheat. I admit, I panicked. I didn't know what to eat and I didn't know anyone else who couldn't eat gluten. I slowly learnt for myself what I can and can't eat, what tastes good ... and what doesn't.

In this light, I've decided to start a gluten free blog. It will be a blog full of recipes, and product and restaurant reviews. I hope that it will help other coeliacs so that they don't panic like I did! I also recommend the recipes to all you lucky people who can eat gluten, they're delicious and you can simply swap the gluten free ingredient with a gluten alternative if you wish!
Mr LG came up with the name 'Mind Your Crumbs' because I am constantly telling people to be careful of their crumbs! I'm pretty sensitive, so residue crumbs in my butter from someone else's piece of toast can make me really ill. Mind your crumbs has now become my mantra!

I have posted my recipe for gluten free vanilla cupcakes that you may remember from Gracie's birthday last month. They're super light and so delicious!




PS. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my ballet photos!

    How exciting! It is so inspiring to learn of you launching a resource guide for others who may not be able to eat gluten. You are one go-getter lady :)

    Thanks for posting that cupcake recipe! At my reception I'm having a cupcake bar, and my bridesmaids and I are baking the cupcakes ourselves! I was thinking yesterday how I want to have options for diabetics and gluten-free diets, so this will be great! ;)

    What a brilliant idea! Even though I'm not gluten-free, those cupcakes sound delicious so I must definitely give them a try (even though I'm hopeless in the kitchen haha)!
    I think it's so great how you've become proactive about your gluten allergy! :-)

    I work with a lot of gluten AND casein free diet kids, and know how difficult it can be to find the appropriate foods. I look forward to Mind your Crumbs. Love the name, too!

    I love that you are doing this! I will have to check out the recipes for my sis in law. She's not coeliac but she is sensitive to gluten and is trying not to eat it.
