...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve made this so many times… I actually stopped making it for several years because, well, quite honestly? I didn’t like it. I guess I kept eating it because I *thought* I *should* like it. What a dumb reason to eat it! LOL But now? I LOVE IT! (But only when prepared like this. LOL!) [...]
When you were diagnosed? What did the doctor say? My doctor told me (over the phone) that I could no longer eat “bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc” He never mentioned breakfast. And I didn’t think about it. After all, I’ve never been a big breakfast eater anyway – or at least not on weekdays. There [...]
I bet you think I’ve fallen into a large hole around here and have lost internet access, huh? Well, I have, kind of. School started. Just last year I had 135 students a day (5 classes/high school) and this year? Oh no… this year I see 171 students (same five classes) and it’s A LOT. [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 Pumpkin-Cottage Cheese Pancakes, Photo by Kate Chan I spend my days reading books, digging little hands into lavender-orange oil scented brown rice in a big bucket, coloring, finger painting, singing, and finding joy in everyday objects and things. I am saddened that when I wrote out the October calendar on our family calendar [...]
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! [...]
