Gluten Free Grasshopper Cupcakes: Mint-Chocolate & Chocolate Chip

Gluten Free Mint-Chocolate Cupcakes

A couple months ago, a colleague brought me some small gluten free cupcakes from a local bakery.  They were “grasshopper” cupcakes, she told me.  I was curious.  She handed me the box and smiled.  Said because they were gluten free, she snapped them up as she “knew someone” who could enjoy them.  I’m the lucky [...]

Celebrating a new web home: Best Ever GF Blueberry Muffins

Best Ever Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Welcome to the new “home” for GlutenFreeGobsmacked! I’ve owned this domain for years, but for some crazy reason, I never left wordpress.com.  Well, I bit the bullet now.  It took a bit of a migraine to get everything over here and things may not be exactly the way I want/need them to be, but for [...]

Gluten Free Pull-Aparts: Garlic & Parmesan or Pizza Pull Aparts

I have a confession to make.  I’m addicted to Pinterest.  I haven’t started a Gluten Free Board – YET! – because I know once I do, it will just all be downhill until then.  I will never have to get off my duff to be creative again.  But you know what? … It is perfect [...]

Gluten Free Chinese Scallion Pancakes

step1scallion

Oh my. I warn you.  This recipe is dangerous.  As in – definitely need oil/fats and holy cow…you will NOT be able to eat just one.  At least not if you are like me. Traditional scallion pancakes are layered with scallions and sesame oil.  This layered makes for a flakier pancake and delicious seasoning throughout. [...]

GF Flatbread and Cracker Recipe and a GIVE-AWAY!

Gluten free Feta & Dill crackers (with homemade hummus)Photo by Kate Chan My girls have been asking for “pies” in their lunch boxes lately.  I couldn’t figure out what they wanted.  (Yes, I am the only one who packs their lunches…so yes, I’m … slow.  LOL!)  They assured me that they had eaten peanut butter [...]

Gluten Free Oat & Honey Bread

So if you’ve been reading along, you are no doubt in awe (like me) that I am able to sit and actually write a blog post!  The girls are busy (one is next to me “studying” a map and the other is currently occupied by a toy cash register) and life is good.  My Love [...]

Gluten Free: Drop Strawberry Scones

Gluten Free Strawberry Scones  Photo by Kate Chan We are nearing the end of the strawberry bonanza locally.  It surprises me every year just how quickly strawberries come and go.  Next up:  raspberries.  And I will be using this recipe with those batches as well.  ’Cause when life hands you flats of berries, you’d better do [...]

Gluten Free Ratio Rally: Chocolate Chip Mocha Quick Bread

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. [...]

The Gluten-Free Ratio Rally: Pancakes!

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, [...]

GF Spinach-Cheese Buns

Don’t worry.  I’m here.  I cannot believe it has been so long since I last posted.  In my mind, I’ve posted a dozen times since the last.  Hmm… that must be what happens when sleep deprivation takes over:  you dream that your blog posts are getting updated when really… you are just dreaming it to [...]

Gluten Free Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

GF Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins, Photo by Kate Chan Last week I couldn’t get enough pumpkin…. or chocolate… or sleep.  But that last one is definitely not worth blogging about (unless any of you have tips on easing a toddler out of nightmares or getting a baby to sleep longer than 6 hours a night [...]

Gluten Free Bran Buns… Yum!

Gluten Free Bran Buns… Yum!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I stopped over at my sister’s house a while back for an impromtu visit with the Chicklet and the Love. She was, as usual, busy, busy, busy and her family was too. Her honey had made quick sandwiches for everyone for dinner and her plate [...]
