...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
Okay – so sitting down to type up a post just has not happened. I have been sick lately – not just with a cold, but beyond normal. I thought I had mono (nope) and am just ready to be able to take a full breath again. I’m so tired, but life just does not [...]
Our CSA box this morning included a huge bunch of rainbow chard. Got any ideas for me? I’ve exhausted my chard repertoire ( which is admittedly quite small.)

Seriously. This is why my posts have dropped in quantity. I truly think all of us cook like this, so it feels awkward to post this but here goes nothing. Maybe someone hasn’t made an enchilada before? Maybe you are stuck in a rut (like I usually am…lol) making the same-old-same-old meals day in and [...]
Keep It Simple, Silly: Collard Greens Photo by Kate Chan I have to be honest. The last couple of CSA boxes have had collard greens. And I’ve swapped them out every week because I’ve been intimidated. My Love really enjoys collard greens – but it is also because he loves southern food and has had [...]
I’ve written this post a million times over since I decided to host this month’s Gluten Free Ratio Rally. Way back in the beginning, I signed up for this with high hopes – and I was being completely selfish when I chose the task: cakes. And white/yellow cakes. (Sorry, chocolate cake fans..although a few bloggers [...]
Risotto. It’s one of the dishes I first ate after being diagnosed with Celiac. I know for some of you the idea of NOT knowing what risotto is a little stupefying, but it’s true. It’s not really a daily menu deal in my upbringing in Minnesota (or at least it wasn’t back-in-the-day). Since my diagnosis [...]
Gluten Free Savory Radish Cakes photo by Kate Chan A couple weeks ago, we opened our first CSA box with joy and glee. Zoe flipped the top open with a giggle. ”It’s like Christmas, Momma!” she exclaimed. Ha! In my mind, I was thinking “Thank God Christmas doesn’t come with radishes!” (I’m going to regret [...]
Roasted Radishes, photo by Kate Chan This spring my Love and I have decided to try using a few local food sources more consistently as a means of improving our health, modeling healthy eating for the girls, and primarily – to encourage our little whippersnappers to eat their veggies! Now don’t get me wrong: both [...]
First, let me just say Congratulations!!! to the Safeway Gift Card Winners: Cara and Kim. (Names were chosen using random.org) I will be sending both of you a $25.00 gift card for groceries (GROCERIES! I LOVE that!) to you this week. You can use your gift card in any of the Safeway stores for gas [...]
It’s on again! The Gluten Free Ratio Rally – baking gluten-free using ratios…. and it SO works! The inaugural rally posts were focused on pancakes. This time around we are tackling quick breads or muffins. Both of which are basically the same recipe, just different baking times. Personally, I’m a fan of the loaf method. [...]
I’m a language teacher, so let me start this the right way: What is a rally? Noun: a demonstration, a sequence of strokes between serving and scoring a point (as in tennis or squash). Verb: to come into orderly arrangement, to renew order, or united effort, as troops scattered or put to flight; to assemble, [...]
