...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
How long have you been gluten free? What prevents you from digging in and baking/cooking like you used to? See those pancakes? I’m proud of my weekend pancakes. My chickadees love pancakes on the days we get to wake up in a lazy fashion (READ: 6:30AM instead of 5:15AM). I used to be so [...]
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 [...]
Winter break from work was FULL! We were super busy with the “have-to-do” doctor appointments, dental visits, etc but even better was the fact that everyday we had a playdate or outing or event planned with friends. We even ventured to “Zoo Lights” for the first time (so much more enjoyable with little people in [...]
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 [...]
Seriously. This is why my posts have dropped in quantity. I truly think all of us cook like this, so it feels awkward to post this but here goes nothing. Maybe someone hasn’t made an enchilada before? Maybe you are stuck in a rut (like I usually am…lol) making the same-old-same-old meals day in and [...]
Oh my. I warn you. This recipe is dangerous. As in – definitely need oil/fats and holy cow…you will NOT be able to eat just one. At least not if you are like me. Traditional scallion pancakes are layered with scallions and sesame oil. This layered makes for a flakier pancake and delicious seasoning throughout. [...]
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 [...]
So yes, this IS a “loaf” of polenta. And it was EASY to make. In fact, I made the polenta and as it cooled, I cooked some pork chops, asparagus and sliced up some fruit. Then I even whipped up some gravy with the pork bits in the pan (and sweet rice flour/butter/chicken stock – [...]
