I live in one of the most beautiful places in Australia – according to ME. I have a job I love (most of the time), 3 beautiful girls, who are old enough now to be independent…but still need their Mummy. #1 is nearly 21, lives with BF, #2 is nearly 18, saving hard for a gap year in the UK and # 3 is 14, loves One Direction and the Hunger Games. Hubby and I have been married 21 years and I don’t know what I would do with out him.



I spend far too much time on the computer – often pretending to work, so when all my words with friend’s games are played and the gossip and news of the world read, I will BLOG.

Gluten Free Sweet Delight

A few years ago I made a kit kat Lasagna for # 2 daughter's 18th birthday, it was a big hit, both with her friends and the internet (over 60,000 views). 

My niece said she wanted one for her 30th birthday and of course I agreed - she since discovered she is gluten intolerant so my challenge was to recreate the chocolate and wafer goodness gluten free.



I was amazed at the products that have wheat in them, marshmallow for example and a lot of lollies  



This is the start, gluten free wafer biscuits (they taste like kit kat)



Crushed honeycomb




White Chocolate ganache 




Allens Freckles 




Chocolate Pudding


Toffee with Almonds crushed  for a rough praline



Final layer of wafer biscuits Gluten free of course



Before the sugar police jump up and down about how bad this is and how much fat and sugar is in it, consider that it will be shared with up to 30 people each having a piece smaller than a normal serve of cake.

It is a yummy gooey treat that should be eaten with moderation and much joy.

Happy Birthday to my niece who is not related but is a very important part of my life.

I have not been a good little blogger this year, I am full of excuses and reasons why I have not been blogging this year. I have been busy with work and photography, then there is all the editing...and the family time and blah blah blah, excuses! I think the main reason I am not blogging so much is because I am sulking. That's right sulking at the internet.

I am sure everyone who starts a blog expects the same thing, it would be slow for a while then the wide world of the web would bring people from everywhere to my blog and there would be snorts of laughter at my words and gasps of surprise at the awesomeness of my photos. I have had one blog post that has over 61,000 views, I know wow, why can't that happen on every post.  http://rozzy35.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/kit-kat-lasagna.htmlThis is why I am sulking....61,000 people like my throw away post about  a chocolate loaded cake for my daughter and no one come back for my photos.

Time to put on my big girl panties and stop sulking, after all who is going to read my blog if I don't write it? I am going to forget about the Kit Kat Lasagne post  going viral and go back to the reason I started in the first time.....for me.


 I am going to share the photos that I have taken that made me go wow when I looked at them on the computer, some times I know when I have taken a good shot other times it is the nice moment when I see my images large on 
the screen.
