A visual tour of our latest meals

Making fancy potatoes for the girls "Princess dinner" - easier with a great pair of squared-off chopsticks as cutting guides. Don't slice all the way through, just down until about 1/3-1/2 inch. Then slightly separate the potatoes when placing in the baking dish and drizzle with butter, season to your desired levels and top with some great chopped parsley.

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.)

Gluten Free Rainbow Enchiladas

August 7, 2012 4 Comments

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 [...]

KISS Your Greens, gluten free

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 [...]

Creamy Brown Rice Risotto

July 6, 2011 18 Comments

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 [...]

CSA Week 2: Radish Cakes

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 [...]

Gluten free Fresh Ginger and Rhubarb Crisp

June 26, 2011 12 Comments

Growing up we used to have a couple rhubarb plants outside the cabin door.  I’m sure they were there every year, but I didn’t always notice.  After all, there were blueberries in our yard and across the street.  BLUEBERRIES!  Yum!  And I’m sure my childhood memories are off in their timing, but I remember always [...]

CSA Cooking Week 1: Getting a toddler to eat more veggies

June 15, 2011 17 Comments

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 [...]
