Looking to cut down on your energy usage at home? Why not try these easy tricks.

1. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs. LED bulbs, for example, use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a longer lifespan, making them a cost-effective choice.
2. Seal up any drafts around doors and windows in your home to prevent heat loss during the colder months and keep your home well-insulated year-round. With our unpredictable weather, this tip is sure to come in handy!
   
3. Get into the habit of unplugging electronics when they're not in use. By doing so, you can save energy and lower your utility bills. It doesn't get simpler than that!

Being a busy parent doesn't mean compromising on your child's nutrition. With these 10 creative and nutritious meal ideas, you can make mealtime enjoyable for your kids while saving time and effort in the kitchen. 

1. Coeliac Disease: Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response, damaging the small intestine. It affects approximately 1% of the global population. Individuals with celiac disease must strictly avoid gluten to prevent long-term complications.
2. Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity: Some individuals experience adverse symptoms similar to those of coeliac disease without having the condition. This is referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. People with this sensitivity may choose to follow a gluten-free diet to alleviate their symptoms.
3. Wheat Allergy: A small percentage of the population has a genuine allergy to wheat. This is different from gluten intolerance, as it specifically targets proteins found in wheat and not gluten as a whole. These individuals need to avoid wheat but may not need to eliminate gluten from other sources.

1. Read Labels: Gluten can hide in various products, so it's crucial to carefully read ingredient labels. Look for gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Additionally, be aware of hidden sources of gluten, such as soy sauce, salad dressings, and certain condiments. All our Eatto meals have full nutritional information available so you can make the right dietary choice for you. We also have a gluten-free section on our website to make life as easy as gluten-free pie! Gluten-free apple crumble anyone? Yum!
2. Focus on Naturally Gluten-Free Foods: Many whole foods are naturally gluten-free, including fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, poultry, legumes, dairy products, and gluten-free grains like rice, quinoa, and corn. All our soups are naturally gluten-free and are the perfect nutritious lunch or light dinner. Our favourite is our Thai Sweet Potato Soup, lightly spiced sweet potato soup with aromatic coconut and ginger, delish!
3. Seek Gluten-Free Alternatives: Fortunately, there are a wide range of gluten-free alternatives available in stores today, including gluten-free flours, bread, pasta, and baked goods. However, be mindful of their nutritional value and opt for whole-grain gluten-free products when possible. How about a gluten free spaghetti served alongside our richly flavoured Beef Bolognese? Or a veggie Puy Lentil Bolognese bursting with delicious Italian flavours? We have a dietary section dedicated to all our gluten-free meal options, with so many to choose from you’ll be spoilt for choice!
4.  Be Cautious when Dining Out: Eating out can pose challenges, as cross-contamination with gluten is a common concern. It's essential to communicate your dietary needs to restaurant staff and choose establishments with gluten-free options or dedicated gluten-free menus. Our chefs pay meticulous attention to ensuring cross contamination does not happen with our gluten free meals and with their skill and expertise you can enjoy restaurant quality meals from the comfort of your own home! How about our authentic Butter Chicken Curry or Thai Yellow Chickpea Curry? Trust us they rival any Indian or Thai restaurant offering!

While a gluten-free diet is essential for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it has become a popular choice for many seeking a healthier lifestyle. By understanding the basics of gluten and its impact on health, you can make informed decisions about whether a gluten- free diet is right for you and if so, we have so many delicious gluten-free options to choose from.
