Welcome to the Kati Keksi monthly newsletter, bringing together the latest content from the Kati Keksi website as well as highlights from social media including Facebook and Instagram.

Okay so this is my second ever newsletter, woo! Survived the first one. 😅

No really, the response has been positive, so thank you!

We're now truly on our way to Christmas in just a few weeks time. It's actually a busy time for bloggers and content creators.

People use websites for shopping and recipes so much more in the last quarter of the year.

Many bloggers are preparing for the festive season since August or earlier!

Me though, well I'm one for great plans that don't get fulfilled. I'd love to do more baking hacks or cute food ideas but it's challenging to find the time.

Most of my video content is made in the once a day toddler nap window - which I also use for grocery shopping and going to the gym!

But, I've been really happy with what I've achieved in the last few months and I'm so pleased to know lots of you will be trying out some of my recipes and biscuit decorations.

​

If you're spending Christmas with extended family this year, or visiting friends who may be unsure of how to cater for coeliacs / gluten free diets, please forward them this email.

It's got links to both the gluten free Christmas shopping guides, which make it just a little bit less stressful for them (and you!).

​

This will be last email for the year, I'll send out a summary for December some time in the new year. Maybe I'll even rustle up some stats about Kati Keksi's 2024.

Most popular content on Facebook

What's been big on Facebook this month?

• Chicken flavoured Cheezels are back for good! I spoke to Cheezels HQ and they confirmed Coles will have them as a permanent line.
• There's new ridiculously cheap $2 marinades at Woolies, available in three flavours.
• I also had correspondence with Twisties last month who confirmed while there's no gluten ingredient in Twisties, the cross contamination risk is so high that they include gluten as an ingredient.
• I shared a few photos of things I got up to in Melbourne to celebrate my birthday.
• On a trip to IKEA I had a poke through their grocery and shared all the gluten free options. I think I'll turn this into a website article (one day!)

Instagram @kati_keksi

Do you follow me on Instagram? I tend to post different content there compared to Facebook so it's worth checking out both.

Here's what I've been sharing this month.

• My best friend baked me cinnamon buns using the Loopy Whisk recipe.
• I visited Melbourne venue Fable for a special birthday dinner.
• My first Aldi Christmas reel was published. I think there's enough treats there for a second!
• We said goodbye to gluten free bakery Australian Wildflour Pastry Co.
• A rare recipe post - how to make adorable Christmas pudding cookies in under 10 minutes. (it's also a recipe on my website)

New product alerts

Here's just a few of the new gluten free products I've seen in the last month.

November was actually wild for new products with both Coles and Woolworths completely overhauling their health food aisles.

• Coles has released tempura battered prawns in the freezer section. I'll release a review some time in the new year.
• Couscous is back on the menu, Simply Wholesome has released a corn-based version available at Woolworths.
• There's a tasty ready meal that is GF by ingredient, it's the Indian feast by Coles. I've tried it, you can see my review on Facebook.
• Fodmapped for you has released a new baked bar flavour, white chocolate and berry.

Be sure to follow me on Facebook where I post everything I find, and if you prefer, follow me on Instagram for a monthly reel summary.

⭐ I just put that new product reel up on Instagram last night! ⭐
