BBq Meal - wheat,egg, fish, dairy free.

Posted in Food Allergies

I know there are folks that read our blog who also have food allergy issues in their homes. I'll try & blog about what our family eats & how we survive the food allergies issues - it does get easier over the years - it just becomes a way of life really.


Cut up spuds into small cubes - add sea salt fresh rosemary olive oil & garlic. Wrap up into a parcel & pop on bbq.
Whip up a coleslaw - finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped celery, spring onion, red onion, cucumber & tomato. I grate cheese on a new board (if you have food allergies you have to be very good re food contamination) & have that in a separate bowl for family members who can eat cheese or who like it. Same with dressings I don't put any dressing on food that is separate for people to add if allowed or want.

Meat is Canadian T Bones - I put soya sauce, pepper & garlic on these & let sit in fridge until ready. Brent then cooks them on BBQ with a little olive oil if needed. - Very tender!!!

Bread I made a rosemary loaf it does have wheat in but no dairy or eggs so James can have a little bit but not everyday or week. Yell if you want recipe.
I really need to get my new camera - sorry for quality of photos but gives you an idea of how we eat with so many food allergies.

A warm welcome to our families daily blog. "Living The Good Life"

We are a family of four & I’m the luckiest girl I know! Married to my best friend for over 21 years, raising two wonderful children on our 3 acre farmlet in New Zealand.


I was a Bank Manager in previous life (before kids) and now a kept women - home schooling our two kids. Brent is a Service Projects Manager and brings home the bacon for the family.

We got "off the bus" ie away from continual comsumption & accumulation of material goods & find much joy in living a simple life.

I enjoy writing & sharing views on living a simple life, menu planning, living on one income in a two income world, home schooling, dyslexia, severe food allergies, raising coloured sheep, goats & hens, quilting, reading, cooking, gardening and of course cats.

"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”
Laura Ingalls Wilder

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
