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: Basic congee
GF: Basic congee, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the photo is just the little bit left from lunch the other day. The babe was still eating her congee as she just can’t get enough somedays. I’ve written about this simple rice porridge before – how it soothed my stomach after food poisoning overseas; [...]
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 [...]
Breakfast anyone?
Breakfast anyone?, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Saturday I’ve been invited to a “Brunch with the Ladies” by a tender-hearted, lovely colleague. I actually thought the brunch was a “bring-your-loved-one” event and had convinced My Love that he should go. After all, my friend is newly married and her husband and mine have a few [...]
Gluten Free Granola – Vanilla-Maple Granola
Gluten Free Granola -, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So we are snowbound. Something rather unusual for where I live in the Pacific Northwest. A few years ago when we moved here from Chicago, we lived with my sister and her family until we found our own place to be. One morning (on a school [...]
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, [...]
Gluten Free: Breakfast on the go
Oh, breakfast. Why do you have to come so early in the day? I’m not a fan of eating in the morning. However, I know that I should eat something to kick off the day. After getting moving in the gym, I’ve noticed that eating a bit of something really does help. Now I pack [...]
Blueberry Goodness…in a cup
The last of the season’s blueberries…smoothie form, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s the last of the season’s blueberries. A rather decent way to start my all night, freak-out, typing session… don’t you think? Actually, besides just giving me a great boost of energy to use my favorite blueberry farm bluebs (as we call them), [...]
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 [...]
Gluten Free Sun-Dried Tomato Wrap – Flavoring your wraps
Gluten Free Sun-dried tomato wrap, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Today at the market, I stopped to pick up something for my Love’s lunch tomorrow along with some fruit and herbs. As I was looking around, I noticed (once again) the fridge of fresh spinach-wrapped or tomato-wrapped sandwiches lined up… and looking tasty. It was [...]
Gluten Free and Easy: Crepes
When I was in middle school – 6th grade, I think – we were all required to take a cooking class. Unbelievably, I still have the “cookbook” the teacher gave us (mimeographed in purple ink, of course.) I shared the contents with my sister a couple months ago. We both shared a great laugh about [...]
GF: Healthier Eggs Benedict
GF: Healthier Benedict, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. When I was little, my family would sometimes go to brunch at a fancy hotel restaurant when my dad had colleagues in town. One of my sisters would always order eggs Benedict. And oh man, those were good! I sometimes ordered the Benedict too, but often caved [...]
