Have you ever stood at the counter of your favorite coffee spot just wishing the line would move FASTER? Not necessarily because you were not truly enjoying the wait for the SuperFrappaWappaLappa whatever that the person before you had ordered, but because you were hungry and the goodies were making you think about it? I [...]

Last year at graduation, a graduating senior who had been in my class since she was a freshman (in a variety of the courses I teach), she gave me a parting gift. She gave me a coffee mug that says “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown). What [...]
GF: Millet & Quinoa Bread

Oh, Natalie! Seamaiden! Who do I thank first? Natalie: Your Millet & Oatmeal bread is now one of my all time favorites. Not only does it prove the fact that GF baking is NOT difficult but that GF bread is DELECTABLE! Seamaiden: If it were not for your Adopt-A-GF-Blogger Event, I would have postponed baking [...]

Kefalotiri Cheese & Poached Fig Kebabs and Fig Vinegar. (Sorry for the bad picture…it was delicious, I promise. Just a bit too dark for photography.) Oh yea. Maybe I really *did* need to spend those hours making lesson plans and designing curriculum for three days out of the classroom…. because really – this has been [...]
GF: Peanut Butter Granola Bar

Okay… I had no idea the email that would ensue after the mere mention of granola bars in my kitchen. Really. Mark me clueless. However, I probably shouldn’t have been. I searched far and wide for a granola bar that met my gluten-free lifestyle to no avail for many years. Granted I have now fallen [...]
Bento Lunch: Savory Grits, sausage bites and cottage cheese
February 11, 2008 6 Comments
Pass the Puffs, Please. And the cough drops. And the Chloraseptic. And maybe the Cepocal because the Chloraseptic isn’t cutting it. OH MY – my throat has been ANGRY since last week. No worries – I’m getting back on my feet (although I haven’t stopped working… just had to forgo my blogging for a bit). [...]
Gluten Free: Tender Cottage Cheese Pancakes
February 5, 2008 19 Comments
Okay. I have a problem. You see, on Sunday I tried a new recipe. One for pancakes. I adore pancakes, but my love? Well, he isn’t such a pancake fan. Every time I suggest we have pancakes (no matter what version like banana pancakes, coconut-crepe cakes, etc), he gently suggests that we could have something [...]
GF: Homemade pita bread & hummus

Yes, I’m alive. Just swamped with paperwork and finals. Semester exams are next week. That means late nights of grading papers and exams and early mornings of meeting students for help. It’s a hectic time of year. Being gluten-free during these long winter days means even later nights of baking bread or putting together lunches. [...]
GF: Orange-Quinoa Muffins

I’ve been cooking -really, honest! I just haven’t been taking pictures (doh!) nor posting. Sorry. Life of a teacher- it’s a bit unpredictable. (OH! But here’s a tip: those biscuits? They make the most fabulous dumplings in Chicken and Dumplings!) Last week I made some rockin’ O’Henry bars (baked sweetened GF oatmeal base with a [...]

Dear reader or fellow gluten-free lifestyler, Do you know what I ate two nights ago for the first time in eight years? Something so delicious and delectable that I practically made myself ill because I couldn’t resist and I ate THREE of them! I’m talking about homemade gluten-free chocolate-filled Croissants. Yeap. Catch you breath. I [...]
GF: An army of mini-crescent dogs
January 4, 2008 34 Comments
A day or two before Christmas, I opened my email to find a copy of a recipe from the Celiac forums (on Delphi). One that I was assured I would enjoy, love, and become another voice for WAHOO and GOODNESS in the Gluten-Free baking world. My friend was RIGHT ON! The original version of the [...]
GF: Oven-baked Polenta Fries with Alio Oli
December 26, 2007 16 Comments
Oh – I think I’m done with sugary things for a while. Christmas chocolate OVERLOAD has hit. Santa has delivered the goods – and they shall hang out in the living in a bowl until my nephews return from California to help out. It is time for some savory to ease off the sugary. We [...]
