Gluten Free Birthday Dinner
It's my Birthday tomorrow. On Saturday I'm off to my mums for dinner, and its a tradition that you can pick your dinner, and its ok to pick something time consuming. A traditional choice would be my mums 'yellow chicken', its an Indian recipe where the chicken is baked in a thick yellow sauce made of ground almonds and spices.
This year I'm breaking the tradition and going for 'breaded everything'. This means mum uses gluten free breadcrumbs and Cajun spice mix to coat chicken breasts, mushrooms, courgette slices and jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese. We have this with potato wedges, salsa, guacamole and a nice green salad. Yum yum! I have explained the breading malarkey, and how to make the jalapeño peppers before.
Once mum was short of breadcrumbs and bulked up with polenta and that was lovely and crispy, and some friends of mine who are non gluten free people changed to the GF breadcrumbs from sainsbury's as they were more crispy! yay for gluten free breadcrumbs!
It will be certain my mum will make a gluten free cake for pudding too, I will take some pictures on Saturday to show you my Birthday dinner :)
If you are subscribed to my blog, it would be lovely to know who you people are, so feel free to comment on this post using the link below and wish me happy gluten free birthday!

Happy Gluten-free Birthday! I'll have to try breadcrumbing more stuff - whenever a gf loaf goes wrong in the breadmaker (happening way less often these days :-) ) I just blitz it into breadcrumbs and freeze them. However I then keep forgetting to use them...
I hope you have a wonderful birthday. It's so much fun to make things that are breaded when you have to eat gluten free.

Happy birthday! Love your blog, and have just started my own!
Hope you have a great birthday
Happy Birthday, hope your mum's cooking was great, along with the cake.
I do all the cooking so I know it's GF!
Am from Leeds also, known as Salena the Coeliac from Swillington ;0)
Normally we are 1 in a 100, but I work in a team of 40 across Leeds and 3 of us are coeliacs! And one lady is also allergic to rice (and we think it's hard being GF!). But at least she can Sainburys' Jaffa Cakes!

Happy belated birthday. What was your cake? I was having a hunt for a gluten free recipe for my mum's birthday and stumbled upon your site! I have settled for the clementine cake
