Anyone up for a BBQ?

I am! If only the weather would cooperate! It’s NOT pleasant. I’m cold! (I know, I should NOT complain about this as it could become QUITE hot when I’m home this summer…without air conditioning…and the house is wrapped in plastic (no windows to open) for the painters…bah!). There are two+ weeks of school left before [...]

GF Joe’s – A new local Gluten Free Market

GF Joe’s, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Click here to see this photo on a map. Shop with reckless abandon, but retrain your brain a bit too. Gone are the days of buying the three remaining boxes of your goodies on the grocer shelves out of fear of never seeing it appear there again. Yeap, [...]

GF: Pepper Flank Steak & Grilled Asparagus

GF: Pepper Flank Steak & Asparagus, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. What can I say? I’m a spoiled gal. Not only have I been living the life while my honey is making dinner (that’s who made the recipe in this post), but I have been given an honor by TIffany for my blog. Tiffany pass [...]

Gluten Free Dinner Rolls … from Adopt-A-GF Blogger

SeaMaiden from Book of Yum (and oh yea YUM! Check out her recipes) tempted me a while back with some dinner rolls. I’ve been dying to try them, so her Adopt-A-Gluten-Free-Blogger Event (#2) was the perfect time. I’m sad to report that these babies didn’t make it all to dinner. Nope. I ate two for [...]

GF: Dessert, thanks to Burt

Sometimes the best things in life are the things we don’t often stop long enough to contemplate. Take for example the rare sunshine (in the PNW) through my skylights in the living room. Both Max (our black lab) and I were lounging in the sunshine on Saturday for as long as it lasted. (I swear [...]

Gluten-Free Staples: What do you have in your cupboards?

(Click on the picture to learn more about it (see info) and learn what is NOT pictured but on hand.) I think we can all agree that learning about Gluten-free living is *definitely* a gradual process. While “giving up gluten’ can be instantaneous, it is a huge process to get back in the kitchen with [...]

GF: Millet & Quinoa Bread

Oh, Natalie! Seamaiden! Who do I thank first? Natalie: Your Millet & Oatmeal bread is now one of my all time favorites. Not only does it prove the fact that GF baking is NOT difficult but that GF bread is DELECTABLE! Seamaiden: If it were not for your Adopt-A-GF-Blogger Event, I would have postponed baking [...]

GF: Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sometimes I wonder what the big life plan is for us as individuals. Don’t we all? Before I was lucky enough to have met my love, I went on a few noteworthy (in the incredibly hilarious sense) dates. I decided in the midst of these dates that there *really* should be a huge map of [...]

GF: Cheesy Quinoa Crackers

I’m trying to catch up. No, not with work (amazing, huh?) but with my blogging buddies! Tonight I have a tasty cheesy cracker recipe for you that isn’t a long haul – really – you can make these quick! But before I get to that, I’m behind with my blogging’ buddies. I was tagged by [...]

GF: An army of mini-crescent dogs

A day or two before Christmas, I opened my email to find a copy of a recipe from the Celiac forums (on Delphi). One that I was assured I would enjoy, love, and become another voice for WAHOO and GOODNESS in the Gluten-Free baking world. My friend was RIGHT ON! The original version of the [...]

GF: Holiday Blogging Event Round Up #1

Forgive me while I post this is a meditative mood. Life has been in an uproar with the weather here and it has seriously impacted my ability to focus. And not in a good way. The Thanksgiving Holidays are over and I have just been eating the last of the Turkey and White Bean soup [...]

A shout out to Shauna

So… I am still home sick. Apparently when I want to get sick, I’m going to do it well and get it ALL!!! Wahoo! (Not really though.) This morning I opened my work email only to discover 68 unread messages (OMG OMG OMG) and as I began to plow through them with as many responses [...]
