Tomorrow shall be a BIG adventure for our little one.  We are off to a pumpkin farm with her Aunt Kari.  Pumpkins are a big theme around here. I’m not sure that Zoe will actually let me cut into the pumpkin she picks out to make a Jack-O-Latern with her.  She won’t let me touch [...]

Gluten Free Bean Burgers

Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers, Photo by Kate Chan The beauty of maternity leave, as I am discovering, is being able to spend time with my girls as our own pace.  On the weekends, rather than running every errand imaginable, we can have little adventures with the girls as a family.  (Although, I do reserve plenty [...]

The Soup That Was: A GF Speedy Potato Soup

No photo for the soup today. Seems the battery was dead on the only camera within reach when the soup was done. AND… if there is one thing I have learned with TWO little ones at home it is this: Eat when you can because someone is bound to need something as soon as the [...]

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. My mom makes the best potato salad, hands down. She will tell you that it’s “just potato salad” but no matter what I do to try and recreate her salad, I fail at the flavor somehow. Maybe it’s just another one of [...]

Gluten Free Bran Buns… Yum!

Gluten Free Bran Buns… Yum!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I stopped over at my sister’s house a while back for an impromtu visit with the Chicklet and the Love.

GF: Basic congee

GF: Basic congee, originally uploaded by Kate Chan.   So the photo is just the little bit left from lunch the other day. The babe was still eating her congee as she just can’t get enough somedays.

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Somethings happen more quickly than anticipated. Like the dinner hour approaching on a school/work night. Seriously.

Gluten Free Sunflower & Millet Bread

Gluten Free Sunflower & Millet Bread, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s picnic season around here. For some reason, the month of July means picnics as of late for us.
