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 [...]
Six Reasons Why: Just because it’s Gluten Free, doesn’t mean I have to eat it. Right?

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 – [...]
Got a guess what this is?

I’ve made this so many times… I actually stopped making it for several years because, well, quite honestly? I didn’t like it. I guess I kept eating it because I *thought* I *should* like it. What a dumb reason to eat it! LOL But now? I LOVE IT! (But only when prepared like this. LOL!) [...]
Still worth it? Some recipe-less posts?

So… do tell… what do you think? Lately I’ve been pondering things that I would like to write, but I have resisted because this blog has mainly contained posts with recipes attached. All of my ponderings have related to living gluten-free, so that’s not the issue. For example, this weekend I’m pondering a big cooking [...]
Gluten Free Breakfasts

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 [...]

So if you’ve been reading along, you are no doubt in awe (like me) that I am able to sit and actually write a blog post! The girls are busy (one is next to me “studying” a map and the other is currently occupied by a toy cash register) and life is good. My Love [...]

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. [...]
Simple, Versatile: Chinese Steamed Eggs
August 18, 2011 20 Comments
I love it when my father-in-law visits. He always teaches me a new dish that is easy to prepare and wickedly economical. He is super savvy about stretching household staples and grocery budgets. (Among his many talents, let me add.) It’s amazing to me how well we can communicate considering I don’t speak Cantonese and [...]
KISS Your Greens, gluten free

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 [...]
Gluten Free Basic White Cake

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 [...]
Gluten Free: Drop Strawberry Scones

Gluten Free Strawberry Scones Photo by Kate Chan We are nearing the end of the strawberry bonanza locally. It surprises me every year just how quickly strawberries come and go. Next up: raspberries. And I will be using this recipe with those batches as well. ’Cause when life hands you flats of berries, you’d better do [...]
