A long winter

Out and About

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 [...]

Gluten Free Grasshopper Cupcakes: Mint-Chocolate & Chocolate Chip

Gluten Free Mint-Chocolate Cupcakes

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 [...]

Best Ever Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Welcome to the new “home” for GlutenFreeGobsmacked! I’ve owned this domain for years, but for some crazy reason, I never left wordpress.com.  Well, I bit the bullet now.  It took a bit of a migraine to get everything over here and things may not be exactly the way I want/need them to be, but for [...]

Another GF Salad Lunch

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 [...]

Korean-inspired Sweet & Spicy Wings

January 16, 2013 3 Comments

I don’t know how many of you have tried Korean spicy chicken wings prior to having to eat gluten free, I only did once.  And they were delicious, sticky, spicy and oh-so-good! My husband often picks up a pack when we are at the Korean grocer for munching.  I don’t make them at home – [...]

Christmas Cookies

So it’s December?  Or should I say it’s almost 2013?!  Not like you need me to state the obvious, I’m just reflecting on how much of my “life” seems to be under different categories.  I’m obviously not able to keep up with every thing (this blog included) but I’m not quite willing to let it [...]

A visual tour of our latest meals

Making fancy potatoes for the girls "Princess dinner" - easier with a great pair of squared-off chopsticks as cutting guides. Don't slice all the way through, just down until about 1/3-1/2 inch. Then slightly separate the potatoes when placing in the baking dish and drizzle with butter, season to your desired levels and top with some great chopped parsley.

Okay – so sitting down to type up a post just has not happened.  I have been sick lately – not just with a cold, but beyond normal.  I thought I had mono (nope) and am just ready to be able to take a full breath again.  I’m so tired, but life just does not [...]

Gluten free weeknight meals & budgeting

September 25, 2012 11 Comments

So this blog post should really be a post of the numerous ways the month of September has come and is exiting before my head has been able to wrap itself around it all.  Surely I am not the only mom who finds herself witnessing myself both coming and going in the middle of the [...]

Gluten Free Pull-Aparts: Garlic & Parmesan or Pizza Pull Aparts

August 20, 2012 39 Comments

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 [...]

Our CSA box this morning included a huge bunch of rainbow chard. Got any ideas for me? I’ve exhausted my chard repertoire ( which is admittedly quite small.)
