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 [...]
Creamy Brown Rice Risotto
July 6, 2011 18 Comments
Risotto. It’s one of the dishes I first ate after being diagnosed with Celiac. I know for some of you the idea of NOT knowing what risotto is a little stupefying, but it’s true. It’s not really a daily menu deal in my upbringing in Minnesota (or at least it wasn’t back-in-the-day). Since my diagnosis [...]
CSA Cooking Week 1: Getting a toddler to eat more veggies
June 15, 2011 17 Comments
Roasted Radishes, photo by Kate Chan This spring my Love and I have decided to try using a few local food sources more consistently as a means of improving our health, modeling healthy eating for the girls, and primarily – to encourage our little whippersnappers to eat their veggies! Now don’t get me wrong: both [...]

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 [...]

Tomorrow shall be a BIG adventure for our little one. We are off to a pumpkin farm with her Aunt Kari. Pumpkins are a big theme around here. I’m not sure that Zoe will actually let me cut into the pumpkin she picks out to make a Jack-O-Latern with her. She won’t let me touch [...]

Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers, Photo by Kate Chan The beauty of maternity leave, as I am discovering, is being able to spend time with my girls as our own pace. On the weekends, rather than running every errand imaginable, we can have little adventures with the girls as a family. (Although, I do reserve plenty [...]
The Soup That Was: A GF Speedy Potato Soup
September 2, 2010 Leave a Comment
No photo for the soup today. Seems the battery was dead on the only camera within reach when the soup was done. AND… if there is one thing I have learned with TWO little ones at home it is this: Eat when you can because someone is bound to need something as soon as the [...]
GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad
August 30, 2010 4 Comments
GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. My mom makes the best potato salad, hands down. She will tell you that it’s “just potato salad” but no matter what I do to try and recreate her salad, I fail at the flavor somehow. Maybe it’s just another one of [...]

GF Easy Sponge Cake, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Really, truly, honestly…. this is the best and easiest cake I have ever made. And… I can’t even count how many times I’ve made it in the last 6 months – it’s that good and that easy. I started making a cake like this back at [...]
Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas: Meal Planning for ease
May 11, 2010 10 Comments
Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. With a toddler running ’round the house and both of us working full-time, life gets a little hectic around dinner time. Being pregnant doesn’t help, because I have moments where I HAVE-TO-EAT-NOW and then hours of I-can’t-eat-anything. It makes meal planning or cooking unpredictable, to say [...]
