We have a wickedly busy week ahead of us. This week boasts for three gym nights, two evenings of meetings until 6PM and “Open House” at school. Of all my ‘extra curricular’ activities, the “Open House” freaks me out the most. Oh MAN, do I get nervous speaking in front of adults! Ah well, every [...]

Pie-in-a-pumpkin, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Yesterday I got home from school earlier than I had all week. In fact, I got home in time to take the dog on a quick one-mile walk AND go to the grocery store before my love got home. Sadly, this means that my backpack is also BURSTING with [...]

Gluten Free Friday Lunch – Nori Wrap “Sandwiches”, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. A little nori, 1/4 an avocado, some super thin Boar’s Head smoked turkey slices, julienned carrots and some shredded napa cabbage. That’s been my lunch these last two days.

GF: Chirashi Sushi Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Celebration/Survival Dinner.

This simple salad was the best way to celebrate Friday night. Really. [...]

September 4, 2008 8 Comments
The other day while flying around like a maniac, a craving hit me for tzatziki like no other. When we lived in Chicago, this little craving of mine would have been easily settled. Living here? In a small town in the Pacific Northwest? Not so easy. But making tzatziki *IS* easy! No worries. But first, [...]

The last of the season’s blueberries…smoothie form, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s the last of the season’s blueberries. A rather decent way to start my all night, freak-out, typing session… don’t you think? Actually, besides just giving me a great boost of energy to use my favorite blueberry farm bluebs (as we call them), [...]

It’s the weekend before school starts and amidst the mix of planning, adoption classes, and babysitting my neighbor’s crazy cat, my love and I found time to go putz at the Farmer’s Market. It’s actually one of my favorite weekend errands. Today [...]

Gluten Free Whole Grain, Saturate Fat-Free Banana Bread Photo by Kate Chan The other day at the market I picked up some bananas. (Thrilling tidbit, I know.) The deal was too good to resist: 39 cents/pound for ORGANIC bananas. Say what? I took a double-look to make sure I had read that right. And yes, [...]
