This week I decided it was time for a makeover! Time to strip back, refresh and rework everything from top to toe. I don’t know about you, but it always makes me feel better. I felt like it had been far too long since I had paid attention to what was going on both inside and out and I needed to find a way to get back in touch with the things that make me happy and keep me satisfied. Yep, it was time, time to revisit and renew one of my favourite Winter snacks, the humble sausage roll.

Dark Chocolate & Macadamia Cookies – (Gluten & Dairy Free)
With the school holidays upon us, the FHC household had lots of big plans – all of which have been thwarted by illness the entire week. Somewhere between chest infections, sore throats, school sores and snotty noses we have all succumb to one ailment or another, leaving us all quite miserable and depleted, but trying to make the most of the time together without the rush and bustle of getting up and going in the mornings.
As we have been somewhat housebound, the kids wanted to do some baking, which I am always up for, so we threw these gorgeous treats together before snuggling on the couch with hot chocolates and warm cookies to watch Frozen for about the trillionth time – but I am not complaining, baking and snuggles are two of my favourite things to do!
Thankfully, we are all on the mend now, for which some credit must be paid to these toasty treasures I am sure, and looking forward to some fun activities in week two of the holidays.

Magic Custard Cake – (Gluten & Dairy Free)
Recently, various versions of this cake have been popping up in my news feed – much to my simultaneous delight and lament. As a passionate appreciative foodie, I love seeing such beautiful creations but, as a deliciously intolerant foodie, at times, I grieve for want of such foods, knowing full well, while it might taste wonderful at the time, I will know buyer’s regret within hours, and often for days to come.
That said, I could not get this recipe out of me head. I am a huge fan of custard – my Mum used to make the most amazing vanilla custard, thick and rich, the perfect companion to apple pie or golden syrup dumplings. Oh, such sweet memories! There is no way my gut would cope with that much milk in a dish these days, but I could not shake the desire to bake and eat some magic custard cake dammit!
What else is a girl to do then, but find a way to make and bake it so she can indeed eat it, so that is what I did.

Allergy Friendly Choc Chip Cookies
I think any home cooking foodie will tell you it is important to have an awesome go-to choc chip cookie recipe in your repertoire. Since being diagnosed with gluten and lactose intolerance, I had all but given up on the idea of eating these decadent treats with the same appetite and satisfaction again. There are times when it is great to be proven wrong and this is one of those times. These gorgeous treats are just as rich, just as moreish and dare I say even more delicious than I could have hoped or imagined. Crispy around the edges, chewy through the middle, packed with gooey chocolate chips and the freshness of lime, these cookies are the BOMB! Perfect for any belly, these biscuits are a fantastic snack to have on hand, with no gluten, dairy, nuts or eggs, but full of the intensity and flavour reserved for only the best choc chip cookies.

Karaage Chicken Bites feat. Roza’s Gourmet Sauce
So, last week I received a lovely surprise email from the gorgeous folk at Roza’s Gourmet Sauces asking me if I would like to be their featured blogger for May and could they gift me some sauces to use in a recipe. Of course I accepted without hesitation as I already LOVE the sauces and am more than happy to showcase any of them! In my case, I was sent the scrumptious Wasabi Sichuan Mayonnaise, featured here, and a gorgeous Bearnaise I will use for another post down the track.
I have to say it is a bit exciting to receive such an email, it has never happened to me before and then being a product I already use and enjoy, well, it felt a bit like Christmas when the parcel arrived on the doorstep! I still feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I open the fridge and there are the sauces sitting there waiting for me to use again. One very happy Fresh Home Cook here folks, let me tell you!
