Gluten-free Cooking for Kids

We're in full recovery from the Halloween party on Saturday night. It was an evening of two halves. First half was fast and furious - a blur of little witches running around at knee height, communal pumpkin carving and tortilla rolling. Prior to the trick or treat tour, we fuelled the kids up with mini portions of pumpkin soup, chillie and tortillas and fingers of fudge, and chocolate buttons. The adults had chicken wings and drinks.

The second half began slowly, the kids having been "made comfy" in various quarters, they crashed quickly. Two older ones remained behind to watch X Factor and those other terrible twins "Jedward".  In the meantime, we switched off the main lights and ate to a beautiful aura of eyeball and pumpkin and witches fairy-lights and the warming smell of candle-burnt pumpkin lids..mmmmmmmmmmm
