GF Menu Swap, August 25 – 29

Tomorrow is the first dread day of meetings for teachers in my district.  And by dreaded, I’m not joking.  I may even be making an understatement. Tomorrow at 7:45AM, 1,200 teachers will gather in our high school auditorium and watch several PowerPoint presentations. And every word on each slide will be read aloud to us… [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap & Monday Meal Plan 8/18

Do you know what this is?  Make a guess!  Leave a comment! I’ll post the photo on Wordless Wednesday of the whole object. I’m feeling a little less than inspired this week.  The fridge is bursting with fresh fruit and vegetables from our trip to the Farmer’s Market, so I’m prepared.  But honestly, we’ve just [...]

GF Menu Swap – August 11th

We had a great trip to the local Farmer’s Market today. My fridge is bursting with fresh fruit and vegetables. The blueberries I picked up for breakfast are seriously wonderful. I thought about making something with them, but to be honest, I think just popping them in my mouth fresh and cool is the absolute [...]

Gluten Free Sun-Dried Tomato Wrap – Flavoring your wraps

Gluten Free Sun-dried tomato wrap, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Today at the market, I stopped to pick up something for my Love’s lunch tomorrow along with some fruit and herbs. As I was looking around, I noticed (once again) the fridge of fresh spinach-wrapped or tomato-wrapped sandwiches lined up… and looking tasty. It was [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – August 4, 2008

This week instead of just planning our evening meals, I’m also gearing up to go back to school. This means that the “Back to School” sections at Target are no longer making me flee (like they did in July… especially on July 3rd when the sales flyers came out! OH MY!! Back to school??? I’d [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – July 28

Oh, man!  What am I going to make this week?  Bah!  I, honestly, am not sure. My menu plan is much like this lighthouse – ONE mile AWAY from the water.  (Think I’m kidding?  Read this.) And my menu plan?  AT LEAST a mile away from my brain and creativity.  You see, being the end [...]

Gluten Free and Easy: Crepes

When I was in middle school – 6th grade, I think – we were all required to take a cooking class. Unbelievably, I still have the “cookbook” the teacher gave us (mimeographed in purple ink, of course.) I shared the contents with my sister a couple months ago. We both shared a great laugh about [...]

Gluten Free Menu Plan – July 21, 2008

So last week I joined the Menu Swappers.  And I blew it.  LOL.  I didn’t really follow my menu (explanation to follow) and I ended up at the grocery store withOUT my list!  ACK!  Thus… no plan following and a weird grocery list ensued. Remember when your mom (and others) told you NOT to grocery [...]

Building a Family

Many of you read my blogger-buddies blogs too. (Steve and Ginger) They are two of the most kind-hearted people I will truly ever have the gracious luck of knowing. They have encouraged me to tell a little of this story here (I’m a little shy, believe it or not.). So, I’m not only going to [...]

GF: Healthier Eggs Benedict

GF: Healthier Benedict, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. When I was little, my family would sometimes go to brunch at a fancy hotel restaurant when my dad had colleagues in town. One of my sisters would always order eggs Benedict. And oh man, those were good! I sometimes ordered the Benedict too, but often caved [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap July 14

I posted our dinner last night today too. We had pizza! Fresh tomato, basil and mozzarella pizza. You can find the recipe here. And now… on to Since our household is just made up of two adults (and a dog)… (so far!), we tend to live and cook on the whim of our taste buds. [...]

BBQ Round-Up – Get out the stretchy pants!

The virtual BBQ party has left me with enough recipes and ideas to make it through every BBQ that crops up this summer. Seriously – you guys are amazing! Check out the goodies everyone brought! Oh, I love it! The food filled many a virtual picnic table, although I think I’ll have to stay seated [...]
