Greetings!
 
Hope this finds you and your families well.
 
Well we are on the countdown to Christmas now - where did the year go??
 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and referrals and business during the year. It is a privilege that I get to work with not only wonderful products but wonderful customers, and I sincerely appreciate your kind referrals and spreading the word. Being such a small business, our best advertising is our happy customers, and I thank you for taking the time to tell others about us.
 
Of course there are a lot of food issues around Christmas for those with allergies and restricted diets, and this month I've included some christmasy recipes and treat ideas.
 
I've also received from Enjoy Life some copies of their Food Allergy & Intolerance Survival Guides - a fabulous resource particularly for those starting out. It lists common sources of allergens, hidden ingredients, how to modify recipes and more. If you would like a copy just email me and I'll send one to you, or make a note in your next order for me to include one. If you know someone who could benefit from these and would like a few copies for friends, that is no problem either, just let me know anytime - kris@gcfree.com.au

This month I'm including 2 recipes that have been a hit in our house (if you haven't guessed I love chocolate and the kids are estatic that they can have some chocolatey treats this christmas).
 
 
Allergy Friendly Rocky Road
 
I made this last week and we all loved it. I'll be making another batch this week!
 
300-400g Enjoy Life choc chips or Boom Choco Boom bar (chopped) - or use a combination of both, which is what I did and it was great
1 x 100g packet of glace cherries, halved
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup gluten free marshmallows, chopped
1/3 cup shredded coconut
 
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over pan of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Pour into bowl with cherries, apricots, walnuts and marshmallows. Stir to combine.
Spoon mixture into a lined/greased lamington pan.
Sprinkle with coconut.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
To serve, lift out of pan and cut into squares.
 
Enjoy! and don't forget to experiment to suit your particular situation, this is a very adaptable recipe.
 
 
Choco-Yummy Sultanas
 
1 bag Enjoy Life choc chips
2 teaspoons shortening (or ghee/margarine)
1 cup sultanas
 
Line a shallow baking dish with baking paper.
Combine choc chips & shortening in a microwavable bowl. Heat for 30 seconds and stir. Continue until all chocolate is melted and smooth.
Add sultanas and mix until coated.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the coated sultanas. Place drained sultanas on the baking paper and let cool to harden.
Once cooled, break apart in pieces if needed.
 
Enjoy & share with your loved ones!
