I hope all is well and you are loving autumn! It has been a weirdly warm (like t-shirt weather warm) and super busy week and – as often happens – I’m not quite sure what I have achieved. Halloween, Bonfire Night, Thanksgiving, Christmas are just around the corner and I am starting to think about what the heck I am going to do. Both personally and here at FriFran. Plans are afoot. Watch this space! 🙂

New and exclusive Gluten-Free | Vegan | Allergy-Friendly | Seasonal recipes this week on FriFran…

This week’s recipes both feature seasonal fruit are super colourful, decadent (and healthy) and delicious. And, of course, super seasonal. 

I do like a pudding and I love a good crumble but sometimes, I want something a little bit different so I broke the crumble mould and made Apple and Blackberry Cobbler. It is just fab-u-lous! Apples and blackberries are a match that works perfectly and with a light, crumbly topping what more can you wish for on a weirdly warm autumn night? Tangy, sweet, tart, deep, earthy flavours. Autumn in a big sweet spoon!

I struggle to love breakfast (it takes my stomach a loonnngggg time to wake up in the morning) but smoothies I can do!!! Pear and Cinnamon Smoothie is the perfect blend of fruit to oats and great for a gentle start to the day. It is my current favourite breakfast.

Today is the first of the month and so I have published my October Seasonal Produce Roundup. Lots of information on seasonal produce to look out for this month and lots of recipe ideas. I hope you like!!!
