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.

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 [...]

Gluten Free Savory Radish Cakes photo by Kate Chan A couple weeks ago, we opened our first CSA box with joy and glee. Zoe flipped the top open with a giggle. ”It’s like Christmas, Momma!” she exclaimed. Ha! In my mind, I was thinking “Thank God Christmas doesn’t come with radishes!” (I’m going to regret [...]

It’s on again! The Gluten Free Ratio Rally – baking gluten-free using ratios…. and it SO works! The inaugural rally posts were focused on pancakes.
