Nestlé Gluten Free Corn Flakes - Honey

Was happy to find these Gluten Free Cornflakes on a recent trip to my local Asda, I didn't buy them the first time I saw them but when I did go back for them there was none on the shelf in the Free From section.  I was gutted and immediately thought that I should have bought them when I first saw them.

However my mum said that she had seen them on the end of the cereal aisle, which I thought was odd, however I took a look and found a shelf full of them in the "normal" cereal aisle!  AMAZING!  I suppose that since they are clearly labelled gluten free (you can't miss the huge letters) that it would be ok to place them there however, if you are on a gluten free diet, for whatever reason why would you be looking in the cereal aisle when there is a dedicated free from section elsewhere?!?

They also have the plain Corn Flakes, for those that don't want the added sweetness.

As you can see this clearly Gluten Free and I am glad that a known brand like Nestle has introduced a gluten free product to their range, hopefully they will set the trend for other brands to follow (I know Heniz was the first known brand I had seen with a gluten free range)

I have been eating this every morning now for the past two weeks and I must say that either my bowls are why to big or there is not 16 portions per box as one box lasts 7 days for me, maybe I need smaller bowls.

To be honest, cornflakes should be naturally gluten free any way as they are maize, but clearly cereals are produce in an environment where gluten and wheat are present so your standard box of cornflakes or frosties can not be labelled as gluten free.

All in all, I am happy that I have found this box of cornflakes, at only £2.00 and in the same size box as your standard cereals rather than having to pay £2.50 upwards for a smaller box of any other gluten free cereal.

I hope that this sets the trend for more gluten free products to be packaged in the same quantities and price ranges as standard foods so that they can sit side by side on the shelf.

Plant, harvest, create, sell and buy is the aim of this game.  I have been playing this game for nearly six months now and it never gets boring! Very interactive as it connects with Facebook so you can add friends as neighbours and buy and sell produce from each other.

Every month or so there has been an Event, which lasts for 20 or so days, where you need to find special items to create recipes and sell for big rewards.

So I have done a few screen shots below to walk you through the game play.

You can plant and harvest a variety of vegetables and fruits, feed animals and collect their produce to sell or use within recipes.

Which are stored in your Barn

Which allows you to upgrade your storage once you have received a number of nails, padlocks, spades and tin

A newer feature allows you to have additional storage in the form of a Crop Silo

Which can also be upgraded in the same way as your barn

Sell and earn coins and experience points at the Farm Orders board

Complete orders for Eagle Eye Eddie to win stamps and experience points

Sell items to Sophia's Tasting Table to earn coins and experience points

Sell non-food items to Nick the Salesman to earn coins and experience

Sell goods to earn coins and free up some barn space

Buy goods that you don't have time to make in order to complete orders

Or join a co-op..............

.........and buy from your friends..............

...........or request a helping hand or if they have any goods to sell to you

Once you have mastered the basics and levelled up you will then open new areas of land which gives you access to.......

 where you send in your farm hands with supplies to source rewards

Once you have earned the allocated amount of stamps from Eddie Eagle you can use them to purchase prized animals

Where you can also send your farm hands with supplies to gain rewards 

Each prized animal needs their own animal feed which can be made using the Wind Mill and after an allotted length of time, ranging from 30 mins to 2 hours you will receive a number of different rewards including ribbons which can be traded for coins, padlocks, nails etc in the Prize Tent

As well as coins earning keys ( or getting them from the prize tent when you trade in you ribbons) is crucial to expanding your farm, they can help with speeding up the machine time so that goods can finish instantly or so that you can make multiple items at once.

You can also earn keys by completing special tasks in the Farmers Almanac 

I hope this has given you an insight into one of my favourite apps!

Kabuto - Gluten Free Noodles

I had been hearing a lot about these Kabuto Rice Noodles and was tempted to try them as they are like your "pot noodles" in the sense where you just need to add boiling water, however there are two differences. One, they have a gluten free option and two, there is no "flavour sachet"!

So after searching high and low throughout my local Wholefoods store all I could find were the non gluten free versions, big fail.

Then i finally found them at the Allergy and Free From show, where I got to try them before I bought I bought them.

So I got two of the chicken flavour rice noodles and silly me did not even check the ingredients first as I noticed when I got home that they have soya and lactose in them.

The instructions are pretty simple, peel back lid, add boiling water, cover and wait for two mins, then stir and cover again for 1 min.

Once it's done there is a lot of noodles!  The flavour is good, sauce is kinda watery for me, you need a spoon and a fork.  What I didn't like was the dried bits of chicken, obviously this can't be helped for the kind of product it is, but maybe it could have done without it.

All in all it's a good cupboard filler, something to grab when or the go or late at night when you can't be bothered to cook.

Pudology

If you read my allergy and free from - haul post you would remember that I bought a selection of Pudology at 4 for £5.

So I'm going to start with my least favourite which was the Lemon Pud

It has a very fresh and clean taste, very lemony, but for me it was not sweet or even creamy enough, however if this was paired with something else like maybe a shortbread or cupcake it could work really well!

Next up was the Strawberry Pud.

Great taste, very light, almost a mousse texture and the biscuit base was just the right amount of sweetness and crunch to make this an all around great tasting dessert!

Now for my second favourite, Banoffee Pud.

Wow! The combinations were great and I'm sure you would not be able to tell that this was a dairy and gluten free alternative. The flavour of the toffee and banana really come through well, not too sweet and very moreish!

Last but not least, my absolute favourite was the Chocolate Pud

This reminded me of the chocolate part in the M&S Profiteroles that I used to buy all the time.  This pud was so good that I actually hate to admit that I licked the spoon as well as the container until there was absolutely nothing left and I still wanted more! There just wasn't enough of it!

Everything about it was just perfect yet so simple because it is just chocolate (dairy and gluten free of course).

 It is such a shame that I can not get these any where locally, even Tesco's online does not have it! I will search these out and I guarantee that I will have one in my bag wherever I go.

But there is also one other flavour that I have not yet tried and that is the chocolate orange, without tasting it I'm quite sure that it will be a close contender for my number spot!

If anyone knows where I can get these within the London area please let me know!
