Hi I’m Georgina, a gluten free blogger from the UK, based in Merseyside. I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in 2015, and set up this blog in 2017 to share my journey, review products, and share my favourite recipes with the online gluten free community!

Life’s too short to buy shop bought cakes 👌 Last week I made this Ferrero Rocher cake with 3 layers of fudgy chocolate goodness, with hazelnut and cocoa buttercream frosting for a friend (not gluten free)😊. I know Ferrero Rocher aren’t gluten free but I really want to make a gluten free version with the gluten free Tempties from Schar! . I took a cake decorating class over Easter and was taught how to stack tall cakes without gravity or transport causing it to bulge out, and how to get the edges even, and how to work with different types of coating (ie fondant, ganache and buttercream) and they’ve been really useful so far. I can definitely suggest seeing if your local cake shop do lessons if you’ve always wanted to learn how to do bigger cakes! Once you know the basics it’s plain sailing really. Currently I don’t really have much energy for baking or recipe creation for the blog as I’m focusing on other things at the minute, but I always have time to bake for a pal! #coeliacsloth . . . #glutenfreelife #glutenfree #wheatfree #coeliac #glutenfreeuk #coeliacdisease #glutenfreediet #easterrecipe #singluten #eastercupcakes #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreeideas #feedfeedglutenfree #girlswhobake #glutenfreefollowme #glutenfreeblogger #glutenfreelife #wheatfree #chocolatecake #glutenfreechocolate #glutenfreeinspo #cakeideas #glutenfreeinstagram #ukblogger #glutenfreebaking #freefromblog #glutenfreebaker #glutenfreeeats

I know, ANOTHER photo of the GF malteasers clogging your feed 🙄🙄 I finally got a pack of the @scharglutenfreeuk Delishios from Asda and tried them. They’re £1 a bag which IMO is quite good considering the price of free from food anyway. I know within the gluten free community there will be people say that they don’t taste anything like Malteasers but they’re not going to without the malt are they? 😂 I didn’t expect them to be like them, so I’m not disappointed. But my sister (not gluten free and a big malteasers fan) tried them also and said they were very close! I enjoyed the texture and the chocolate as well. I think they taste a bit like golden nuggets cereal coated in chocolate. I will definitely have them again and I would say to anyone just to try them and see for yourself! There are worse things you can get for £1! #coeliacsloth . . . #glutenfreelife #glutenfree #wheatfree #coeliac #glutenfreeuk #coeliacdisease #glutenfreediet #ukfoodblogger #singluten #foodporn #foodblogger #liverpoolfoodblog #glutenfreeblogger #wheatfree #wheatfree #foodblogger #glutenfrij #coeliacawareness #glutenfreeinstagram #ukblogger #freefromblog #glutenfreefood #delishios #glutenfreemalteasers #freefromblogger #glutenallergy #livblog #scharglutenfree #asda #asdafreefrom

Hands up, who wants some Squashies Cupcakes?!! 🙋‍♀️😁 . They were soo simple to make, I even cheated a little bit 🙈 I wanted to try the @swizzels_sweets Drumsticks Duo Frosting from Sainsbury’s (£2.50). It’s gluten free, dairy free, and egg free. It comes in two separate pots of raspberry and milk flavoured frosting, ready to ice your bakes! For the cupcakes I just made a plain vanilla cupcake using the cupcake recipe from the Coeliac UK website. It made 12 delicious cupcakes, and the icing was more than enough to cover them. To frost, I put the two coloured icings in individual piping bags, and then put both of those in another piping bag fitted with a @wiltoncakes 2D nozzle (which is my go-to one now, it makes the most perfect swirls). Putting the icing in individual piping bags rather than spooning them each in, a bit at a time is so much easier, faster, and it makes for perfect two-toned swirls. And then I topped them with some Squashies!! I’ve been baking less at the minute because I’ve been busy channeling my energy into other things, but I promise I have some recipes I really want to make on the blog. I just need to find the time! #coeliacsloth . . . #glutenfreelife #glutenfree #wheatfree #coeliac #glutenfreeuk #coeliacdisease #glutenfreediet #glutenfreerecipe #singluten #glutenfreecupcakes #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreeideas #feedfeedglutenfree #girlswhobake #glutenfreefollowme #glutenfreeblogger #glutenfreelife #wheatfree #cupcakeporn #glutenfreeblog #glutenfreeinspo #girlswhobake #glutenfreeinstagram #ukblogger #glutenfreebaking #freefromblog #glutenfreebaker #glutenfreeeats #swizzelssweets #myswizzelssummer

~here’s a lil health update~ . A few weeks ago, I posted about how I had migraines, was feeling exhausted and tired and nothing was helping with my energy levels and it was getting me down. I felt so shit as anyone normally would. . The doctor told me to stop taking my contraceptive pill in case it was that, and he ran all the blood tests imaginable, and a diabetes one too, and it came back that my Vitamin D was reeeeal low. . I do try my best to eat a balanced diet and get as much sun as I can, somehow I was still deficient. . When the doctor rang me he gave me some advice to help raise them like taking supplements and eating foods rich in the vitamin, but didn’t give me a prescription. **Everyone is different so listen to medical advice from your own GP! It’s really important you do this bc if you take too much vitamin D it can actually WEAKEN your bones!** . He didn’t give me a prescription because it’s cheaper to buy supplements over the counter but last time they were low and around the same levels and I was prescribed 5000IU Vitamin D3. I found these capsules from @lindenshealth which contain 5000IU, and I’ve been following medical advice to help raise them. They’re so easy to take unlike huge pills so I definitely recommend trying them. Not gifted or an ad, I just wanted to share my experience. If I’m honest, I’m quite shocked that a simple thing like vitamin deficiency can cause me to feel so bad! . So far, so good, I feel like I’m almost back to normal but I still have a fair bit to go until I’m 100%. I can actually wake up on my first alarm, and feel (kinda) refreshed and my migraines have gone and I feel positive! I have to wait another month before I can resume taking my contraceptive pill (Maexini) to see if that could have been the source of the migranes , and if that’s the case, I’ll just sew my legs up and become a mermaid 🙃 Has anyone else been like this? #coeliacsloth

HALLOU! Is it MI you’re looking for? We went to @pizzaexpress and they now have halloumi bites on their menu which are GLUTEN FREE 🙌 I’ve never had an issue with the gluten free pizzas in there, all of them are served on a black board, unsliced with a pizza cutter. I had the Padana which is goats cheese and caramelised onions and of course those yummy halloumi bites. I never normally go for a dessert but they have a NEW Chocolate and Amaretto parfait which looks FIT 😍 #coeliacsloth . . . . #glutenfree #glutenfreeuk #healthyliving #glutenfreeliverpool #glutenfreeeats #freefromgluten #glutenfreefood #livingglutenfree #glutenfreelife #wheatfree #nourishnotpunish #coeliacfriendly #glutenfreeliving #coeliacseatout #glutenfreeideas #freefromblog #instafood #discoverunder5k #visitsouthport #glutenfreeinspo #coeliacblogger #celiacblog #glutenfreesouthport #glutenfreedining #glutenfreemerseyside #glutenfreeitalianfood #freefromdining

Who has tried these gluten free & vegan @cornettouk?. I found them in @tescofood for £3 but I’ve been craving cornettos SO MUCH recently with this heatwave. I think these are really tasty, and don’t taste much different to what I remember them being like. Although they are vegan and made with soy, they still carry a ‘may contain milk’ disclaimer. I know a few of you gluten free people are also dairy intolerant or allergic as well so I thought I would give you guys a heads up if you haven’t seen them before. I wish ice cream vans sold these!! 😫 #coeliacsloth . . #glutenfreelife #glutenfree #wheatfree #coeliac #glutenfreeuk #coeliacdisease #glutenfreediet #ukfoodblogger #singluten #foodporn #foodblogger #liverpoolfoodblog #glutenfreeblogger #wheatfree #wheatfree #foodblogger #glutenfrij #coeliacawareness #glutenfreeinstagram #ukblogger #freefromblog #glutenfreefood #vegan #milkfree #freefromblogger #glutenallergy #livblog #glutenfreecornetto #tesco #veganicecream #glutenfreesouthport #tescofreefrom
