Gluten Free Thankfulness and a Cranberry-Mango Chutney

Salmon Chowder – Gluten free, of course

Salmon Chowder – Gluten free, of course, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay, so photos of chowder are not the easiest. I’m sad to report that this photo does not do justice to the chowder.

Gluten Free: Eating out

Have you ever been to a Korean BBQ?  The picture above shows some of my delicious dinner.  Grilled beef and a green onion and vinegar/chili dressing salad all piled high on to a piece of leaf lettuce.  Fold it all up like a leafy burrito, and wah-lah.  Korean BBQ dinner.  (See the veg?  Yes, I [...]
