Three years ago sometime, around-about a week or two ago I decided to start a blog. This one. I named it for my dear Grandads nickname for me Scallywag, which means a little bit cheeky, a rascal, up ...
Every week at work we have a fruit box delivered. Every week there are left over bananas and nearly every week I take those poor little leftover guys home to use in smoothies, cheesecakes and most li...

When I was little, in fact, from the ages of about 6 to 16 my Mum ran a successful wholesale bakery in the Western Suburbs of my hometown of Perth. Ever since I was little I remember Mum being in the...
At around about 11am yesterday morning, you may have been driving down Malvern Rd in Prahran and passed a girl with red hair outside of a newsagent jumping up and down with excitement, hugging her fi...
Theres just something about a chocolate cake of the slightly fudgy kind, the kind that is lost somewhere between a lighter style chocolate cake and a rich brownie. The nearly perfect kind in my opini...
Im the first to admit that if theres ever an excuse to go out for breakfast Ill take it. Sunday sleep in, no milk, no gluten free bread in the house, no oil to fry the bacon and eggs, "...but hun...

There are mornings when I just dont feel like gluten free toast with butter and jam, nor fried eggs on gluten free hasbrowns or even some gluten free muesli on yoghurt.... sometimes I just wan...
After many, many dishes, trips to the shops for more butter, taste testing, mini photo shoots, emails and more than a few late nights, Im thrilled to present to you The Gluten Free Scallywag Christma...
Talking and eating with family and friends is something that is, for me, synonomous with this time of year. When generally theres a little stress in the air along with a bunch of tinsel and people ge...
Did you know that I have red hair and that Ive gotten very little flack for it? I have pale skin. Im Australian. I used to come home from school and have a baked potato as a snack. I like musicals. H...
As I sit here, Im eating this cake. Yes, you should be jealous, because its good. In fact, this simple gluten free chocolate cake is now 3days old and its better than the day it was baked. Its mellow...
There are so many things in my life that make me happy. Getting a call from my man when hes interstate, just to tell me he loves me. Sleeping in. Going to the movies. Hearing from a friend. Buy...

Last weekend I did three things Ive never done before. The first was that I bought dried beans (Im usually a canned bean kinda gal - so much less effort). The secound was I made baked beans from scra...
Monday heralded in a new year. A year of being a little bit older and quite possibly a little bit wiser!? It was a day spent at work with colleagues, a lunch i...
Sometimes, just sometimes, you need to go all out on the sugar front. I mean there’s desserts and then there’s sweets, like candies, or in this case, caramels. These are the have only every now an th...
Somewhere, between the grey skies, biting winds and rain, spring has slowly crept up on Melbourne. This may just be fantabulous early spring weather that will disappear *snap* like that, but either w...
Yesterday, we took part in the 5km walk/run (I walked) for Run Melbourne. If you follow me on twitter you may have seen the pre-walk pic that I shared. I was happy to have hit my goal of raising $100...
When I was about 12 years old my Mum owned this pair of shorts. They were a sort of grey-green in that suede look quickdry material that was huge some decade and a half ago. They were elastica...
