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 [...]

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 [...]

Roasted Radishes, photo by Kate Chan This spring my Love and I have decided to try using a few local food sources more consistently as a means of improving our health, modeling healthy eating for the girls, and primarily – to encourage our little whippersnappers to eat their veggies!

Don’t worry. I’m here. I cannot believe it has been so long since I last posted. In my mind, I’ve posted a dozen times since the last. Hmm… that must be what happens when sleep deprivation takes over: you dream that your blog posts are getting updated when really… you are just dreaming it to [...]
