GF:Simple Fig Chutney, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes the easiest recipes yield the best results. The other day I found fresh figs in our market. It seemed kind of strange to me that I found them as i had seen figs in the late summer and October… but heck – who was I to [...]

GF: Basic congee, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the photo is just the little bit left from lunch the other day. The babe was still eating her congee as she just can’t get enough somedays.

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Somethings happen more quickly than anticipated. Like the dinner hour approaching on a school/work night. Seriously. I never knew how fast one hour could fly until now. Life is so much fun with the Chicklet that I quickly lose track of food plans and [...]

This week an absurb heat wave melted my brain, took away my sanity and forced us to seek shelter in a local hotel. Really . Our house was so hot, neither the Chicklet nor I were sane by the time my sweet Love returned from work. The following morning, I checked in to a hotel. [...]

Setting up for success, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So, I’ve been trying to find my way back in to the kitchen. I really miss baking and exploring what I can make with different things. However, having an active toddler roam – or rather – speed around makes it difficult to have sustained dedicated [...]

Happy 1st Birthday/Tol, Baby!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Don’t you love the look on her face? She’s watching a bird fly overhead. (She’s wearing the hanbok sent with her from her Korean foster mother.) We spent this Saturday with family celebrating birthdays. Both Zoe and her cousin, J, were born on May 16 – [...]

Gluten Free, Korean Mung Bean Pancakes (Vegetarian version), originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Zoe and I made lunch together today. Okay, really… she mainly napped on my back while I cooked after valiantly attempting to whip her head around to be able to see what I was doing. She loved watching me as I chopped [...]

Gluten Free Skillet Pasta, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Oh, I’m tired. Yes, this little girl is quite the wiggly worm – I love it! But, yes, I am tired. Thankfully, her dad has been able to stay home with us for these first few weeks. I’m so happy he did, too! Not only has [...]
Where are you? What are you doing?

Well… really? I’m here. Waiting. But the BEST news is this: there are only 6 more days until the Chicklet arrives! THANK GOD! I think I have found a way in the River of Denial these last few torturous weeks of waiting for her to travel once we had her travel date. I am [...]
