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 – [...]

Gluten Free Breakfasts
January 11, 2012 10 Comments
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 [...]
It’s not too late yet! Dark Chocolate Mocha Fudge – just in time for Christmas
December 22, 2011 3 Comments
Christmas is coming! Santa is near. The girls can feel it in the air. This year we’ve donated money to our local food bank on behalf of all of our nieces, nephews and family members. To be honest, it was the best thing ever. Each family is taking care of their own little ones [...]
Chili-Maple Butternut Sqaush

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 [...]
Family Photos and an offer for YOU from Kodak

I love taking pictures. I am certainly not a pro, but for every 500 photos I take, one does turn out nicely. :D There are so many bloggers now than what used to be about. And their blogs are gorgeous. Really. The photography, the design of their “theme” (what the blog looks like), etc. I [...]
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
August 3, 2011 43 Comments
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 [...]
Creamy Brown Rice Risotto
July 6, 2011 18 Comments
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 Ratio Rally: Chocolate Chip Mocha Quick Bread
April 6, 2011 20 Comments
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. This time around we are tackling quick breads or muffins. Both of which are basically the same recipe, just different baking times. Personally, I’m a fan of the loaf method. [...]
