Sometimes you have to get out. Not only because you’ve been working on paperwork ALL day AND it’s gray, rainy, and well… depressing. So, sometimes you have to get out and celebrate the small steps in life. Tonight we are celebrating one such step. These little steps are the ones that make up the dance [...]
Gluten Free: Green Bean Pasta with Pan-seared Scallops
August 18, 2007 Leave a Comment
I couldn’t resist the green beans at the market the other day. They were too fresh for words and I love the crunch of them. It reminded me of the Szechuan spicy green beans we used to make before we were married. Just the right mix of crunch and zip to make your mouth come [...]

I was in the mood for soup. My love is in the mood for anything but soup. And I have rice noodles and spinach on hand. Hmm…what to do? Why, make both, of course! And no, I’m not an overachiever. This is just dinner. One of us with broth and the other without. Cinnamon & [...]

I went to the local fish monger today. In stock was fresh coho salmon, fresh halibut and a few other delectables like fresh sturgeon! While I was there picking out our fish for dinner, they were cleaning Dungeness Crab. OH! I LOVE it! It also makes the perfect sushi rolls. It was semi-sunny mid morning, [...]

Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie.. sounds like a winter treat, doesn’t it? I know why I made this tonight. It wasn’t the weather (it’s nice out – but not cold). It wasn’t the craving. It was the red ceramic pie dish. It called my name and sang a lullaby to me. It was so good, [...]
Gluten Free: Cole slaw, pork chops, potato slices…. and a good conversation.

Ok, so I didn’t take a picture. I was much too wrapped up in the conversation I was having with my love. What were we talking about? LOL – the best part is, I couldn’t even tell you. I was just soaking up every minute of it though. Sometimes the absolute best way to begin [...]

GF – grilled pork loin and grilled sweet potatoes Today I had a little time. After my PT session mellowed out every muscle, I was able to relax a bit and plan a great relaxing dinner for my love. One quick stop at the market and I was ready to go. Since I knew I [...]

GF Chicken Teriyaki Okay.. so I went a little wild with the teriyaki sauce on my chicken tonight. Sometimes I can’t help it. It’s GOOD to be able to eat something that you can’t normally go out and get for yourself while eating gluten-free. The best part about this dinner? It’s super easy to make. [...]

1. Coarsely chop shrimp, add on egg white, one tablespoon corn starch, 1.5 tablespoons mirin or rice wine/sake, seasonings (at least a little salt!)…. put it all in the food processor and you get this: SHRIMP GOO! 2.
