I hate bread

As a coeliac, I cannot eat the glorious array of breads that are available. The gluten free range is not so vast and really don't like them. I do eat them sometimes and I will explore and perhaps try to create my own but I am lazy and since we are saving, I cannot afford to buy the expensive flours, etc to do so.

Good news though as an alternative are corn thins. They are rice cakes with different types of flavours and you can have almost any topping you like on top. My favourite at the moment is zucchini pickles. Yum, yum. They are also cheap. Between $2 - $3 a packet, much cheaper than a loaf of bread.

Once again though, I have to be careful which brand to buy. Corn thins are the best I think as I have had no reaction to them at all.

Potato Cakes



I made these yummy potato cakes the other night. My lovely and wonderful friend, JH, is a great cook and she always thinks of me. She made the batter for her family and shared the recipe with me. Very very simple!

1/4 cup gluten free cornflour
1/4 cup gluten free plain flour
2 eggs
little water

Mix all together - thinly slice potatoes, coat with the batter and fry in oil. I don't like using heaps of oil, so I used a little in the bottom of my fry pan and it worked wonders! These potato cakes taste like the real thing! I am not kidding! Don't they look scrummy?

Enjoy!
