GF Spinach-Cheese Buns

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 [...]

GF: Fabulous, Quick Brownies

Quick, easy and delicious:  GF Brownies. Photo by Kate Chan. The holidays are over (but my tree is still up until Saturday). My parents have left  (leaving my Chicklet at a loss for her beloved Grammy and Grampy). My work?  Still not done, but at least the pile is neater well… still visible and now [...]

Dear Santa

  Chocolate a la española/Spanish Hot Chocolate Photo by Kate Chan A tidbit off my facebook posting just to help you get the context for my chocolate craving: Dear Santa – Please forgive my little imp’s exclamation of “Oh, shit!” when the gas fireplace burst to life the other day.

New Product: The GFB (The Gluten Free Bar) – and a GIVE AWAY

DISCLAIMER:  I have NO connection whatsoever with this company.  I received 4 bars to taste for this review. I rarely do product reviews, so for those of you who are curious about that please know this:  I love easy, accessible gluten-free foods, but I’m picky!  If I can make a better version in my kitchen, [...]

Gluten Free Pumpkin Fries

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 Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

GF Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins, Photo by Kate Chan Last week I couldn’t get enough pumpkin…. or chocolate… or sleep.  But that last one is definitely not worth blogging about (unless any of you have tips on easing a toddler out of nightmares or getting a baby to sleep longer than 6 hours a night [...]

Gluten Free Bean Burgers

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 [...]

GF Easy Treats/Yummy Source: NutsOnline

One of the interesting aspects about blogging that I never really thought about was the opportunity to try new products.  Sometimes manufacturers or publishers contact us to inquire if we would like to try their products – in an genius effort to get some PR from our possible blog posts about their products.  I have [...]

The Soup That Was: A GF Speedy Potato Soup

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

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 [...]
