...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
We ran away this weekend. It was very long overdue. Winter is hard here for us with the very limited light (although I easily admit that since it has been “very dry” in Western Washington terms, I’ve enjoyed it more). This winter has been worse. In December a colleague of mine – my [...]
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 [...]
Okay – so just a word of warning: this blog post is definitely a whoa-is-me whining post. So feel free to move on if you have never had a day like I’ve been having lately. I’m done. I’m done having Celiac Disease. Are you? Well, okay. I just wish I were done. Today is one [...]
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 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 [...]
Just recently my husband and I were talking about soy sauce. I know, it’s not your typical lovey-dovey conversation, but really – who has those everyday and/or posts them on their blogs? But in all honesty, our discussion has often bounced back to soy sauce in regard to Celiac/Gluten Free diet. You see, the [...]
I wish I knew these guys. I <3 their video. :D In light of the fact of my missing February, I’m giving myself permission to post this after some of you may have already seen it. Enjoy! (And be happy I – in my zeal – didn’t sing it for you! LOL) ~kate
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 [...]
Hello! Oh, I have missed blogging. The last post about saving time, money and energy has truly been helpful. It was good to read that others are in the same boat – and busting out the crock pot or cooking double/extra whenever they can. I am gone over and over the comments (and I suggest [...]
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. [...]
Keep It Simple, Silly: Collard Greens Photo by Kate Chan I have to be honest. The last couple of CSA boxes have had collard greens. And I’ve swapped them out every week because I’ve been intimidated. My Love really enjoys collard greens – but it is also because he loves southern food and has had [...]
I’ve written this post a million times over since I decided to host this month’s Gluten Free Ratio Rally. Way back in the beginning, I signed up for this with high hopes – and I was being completely selfish when I chose the task: cakes. And white/yellow cakes. (Sorry, chocolate cake fans..although a few bloggers [...]
