Breakfast
Most days breakfast is a blur as everyone gets out the door. On those days our low fodmap people often eat Vogel's Cafe style light almond and ancient grains, specially designed low fodmap cereal that we buy several boxes of each time it goes on special.
Sometimes, especially when it's cold outside, it's nice to have a bowl of brown rice porridge with added L.S.A and chia seeds. I would like to get a really good quinoa porridge recipe but have only had failures so far.
Or there is the egg on gf toast option, always a winner.

Pancakes
Sometimes you just want something a bit special, and so we'll make pancakes. Sure we could make round ones, but if you have a spare squeezy sauce bottle hanging around, it's fun and easy to make shapes
I have tried lots of recipes, and have finally concluded that a simple pancake recipe is best, changing the gluten flour to a good gluten free combo (e.g rice, cornstarch and tapioca), with some xantham or guar gum, an extra egg, and maybe a very small amount of apple cider vinegar. I will sometimes use buckwheat flour for about a third of the flour mix, which gives a slightly heavier result, but it has a lovely flavour and is more filling.

Rhubarb chutney - courtesy of Irene Myers (adjusted)
It is so hard to find a good onion free chutney. This one is surprisingly easy and the whole family like it. Makes approx 6 jars.
900g rhubarb
900g sugar
500 mls vinegar (gluten free)
25 g salt
25 g powdered ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like it spicy)
Place all ingredients in large non-reactive pot and bring to the boil, reduce heat and cook for approx 1 hour until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally, make sure this does not burn. Pour into clean, sterilised jars and seal. Appears to keep for about a year once sealed.
