Mila's Meals Christmas Recipes

Mila's Meals Mince Pies Recipe. What would Christmas be without mince pies? Recipe from the Mila's Meals online Advent Calendar.

Mila's Meals Homemade Custard Recipe. I came to making custard for Mila not because of wanting to give her a nutrient-dense dessert (we don’t really do desserts – she has those foods as part of her main meal), but as a way to re-incorporate eggs into her diet.

Veggie Crisps Recipe. A nutritious alternative to deep fried crisps which are often available at social events and which are usually laced with MSG, colourants, preservatives and trans fats. Recipe taken from my cookbook Mila's Meals: The Beginning & The Basics. A 500-page gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free cookbook.

Spiced Apple Rings Recipe. What a convenient no-mess, no-fuss snack food that can live in the nappy bag in case of those emergency hunger situations… or the holiday beach bag! They make a great addition to school lunchboxes or a festive season snack table too.

Mila's Meals Butternut and Cranberry Fritters Recipe. Pumpkin fritters are a South African classic! My sister-in-law, Ady, is well known for hers and she makes them for every big family meal. I simply had to come up with a gluten-, dairy- and sugar-free alternative to avoid the food envy at these occasions! Recipe from my book Mila's Meals: The Beginning & The Basics.

Mila's Meals Dairy-Free Mango Cheesecake Recipe. These cheesecakes are so versatile in terms of flavour – you can choose any of your favourite fruit for the main flavour. My first-ever vegan cheesecake was a blueberry one – for my sister-in-law soon after she had been diagnosed with cancer and was following a sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten-free diet. That one was followed by an orange and chocolate layered one for our Christmas dessert (made with raw cacao – oh so good!)

Mila's Meals Paleo Doughnut Recipe. Mila has been asking for doughnuts for going on 2 years now. She has seen them in the grocery store and, as with other ready-made food items, she picks them up, smells them (through the packaging), looks up at me and says “Mama can you make these for me please?” For 2 years have been saying that I would make her doughnuts and, finally, I have!

Mila's Meals Gluten-free Chickpea Crackers Recipe. Now that summer and holidays and Christmas are upon us – these crackers are so useful! Easy to take to picnics and to the beach, they are also a great addition to a Christmas lunch platter – think pâtés, dips, spreads, fruit, nuts, seeds and… chickpea crackers! From the Mila's Meals Advent Calendar. New recipes everyday leading up to Christmas. All gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free.

Mila's Meals Sauerkraut Recipe. Sauerkraut works wonders for your digestion, producing amazing amounts of probiotics and other disease-preventing compounds. Recipe from my cookbook Mila's Meals: The Beginning & The Basics.

Mila's Meals Ice Lollies Recipes. Ice mollies are magical things - they solve problems! Not only are they refreshing in our hot South African summers, but they can also be a nutrient-dense snack. They tend solve a number of little problems for me! Recipes from Mila's Meals Online Advent Calendar. All recipes gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free.

Mila's Meals Paleo Pancakes Recipe. Another solution to the eternal question of “What’s for breakfast?” From the Mila's Meals Online Advent Calendar. New recipes everyday leading up to Christmas. All gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free.
