So… my Love bought me a shiny new bread machine. I’ve had a really hard time getting TIME to bake bread like I used to. Between teaching (grading papers, planning, etc), playing with the Imp, and trying to maintain some type of order to our lives, I just don’t bake bread anymore. BUT, I have [...]
A slightly more decadent Calas: Cocoa Calas
A Slightly More Decadent Calas: Cocoa Calas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the Chicklet has been home with a bit of a toddler-style, No-Day-Care allowed cold for the first couple days this week. I didn’t realize how tired *I* was until I decided to follow HER sleep schedule these few days at home. BOY! [...]
GF: Pao de quejo (aka “Brazilian Cheese Bread”)
GF:Pao de quejo, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I have to admit this. I love Brazilian Cheese Bread – but I really am working hard to save some money for us. So buying the different mixes is completely out. It’s been a long time since we’ve purchased the mixes. But, I’ve rather missed the quick [...]
Gluten Free Sunflower & Millet Bread
Gluten Free Sunflower & Millet Bread, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s picnic season around here. For some reason, the month of July means picnics as of late for us. Personally, I think it’s the heat multiplied by the lack of air conditioning at home, quadrupled by the fact that the hottest time of the [...]
Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes
GF Coconut Cupcake, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Yes, my mind is whirling with the great news of our kidlet making an appearance. It feels SO GOOD to have a DATE on the calendar attached to a flight number and everything. It’s really an amazing thing. It is the first time in this very long [...]
Breadsticks, Sock Monkeys and Bananas
GF Breadsticks for 2, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Breadsticks = The Recipe Sock Monkeys = The Quilt Bananas? = The Writer Life is a waiting game. Hurry and wait. Wait again. OH! I’m not good at waiting! It’s starting to take a bit of its toll on my brain and mood (just ask my [...]
Cranberry-Rice Bran Gluten Free (& CF!) Muffins
Cranberry-Rice Bran Gluten Free Muffins, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Ooops. I intended to post this yummy muffin recipe on Tuesday… but time flies when you lose your mind. How was your Thanksgiving weekend? Ours was much-needed quiet… until I got the flu… and then once I recovered, we were off on adventures in Portland, [...]
Want to peek in the oven with me? It’s Pizza Night!
Want to peek in the oven with me?, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It was a bit of a girl’s night last night – nothing huge, just out for dinner and then on to see a play at one of the local high schools (our friend made the costumes and her husband is the drama [...]
Gluten Free Skillet Corn Bread
Gluten Free Skillet Corn Bread, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Phew! It’s been a week! And not just since I last posted – sorry! – but rather it’s been one heck of a busy week around here! Beyond work, etc, we just received letters in the mail from the US Citizen and Immigration Office (aka [...]
Gluten Free Apple & Carrot Mini Muffins
Today was errand day. On the way home from work, I dreamed of taking a nap. I’ve caught the ubiquitous “Welcome Back to School” sinus infection. Thinking clearly is not my strong suit. This statement is more true than false, especially between about 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. I don’t know why. My gray matter [...]
Gluten Free Pepita-powered Bread… oh yeah!
Light, fluffy, easy to make and not loaded with a million calories. Oh yea. This is my new sandwich bread when we’re not eating wraps. I ran out of pepitas (pumpkin seeds) Friday. It just added one more thing to the “to-do/to-get” list that was percolating in my head. I was in no rush, but [...]
Gluten Free Oatmeal-To-Go
Gluten Free Oatmeal-To-Go, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I’m sorry. Is it Thursday already? Holy cats, this is a long week and I am tired! After couple days of trainings, presentations, workshops and assemblies, I’m officially ready to unpack my classroom. I haven’t been able to get in to my classroom this week because it [...]
