Seriously. This is why my posts have dropped in quantity. I truly think all of us cook like this, so it feels awkward to post this but here goes nothing. Maybe someone hasn’t made an enchilada before? Maybe you are stuck in a rut (like I usually am…lol) making the same-old-same-old meals day in and [...]
Strawberry ice cream, snowmen and power-outages = the week + that was
January 25, 2012 Leave a Comment
UPDATE: 1-25-2012 I started writing this post a few days ago – Like the first day we got power back (Monday night)… and then we lost power again and the post never got finished. And then it came back…. but as I was writing, the power went out again. This morning, I’m at home with [...]
The Gluten-Free Ratio Rally: Pancakes!
March 2, 2011 28 Comments
I’m a language teacher, so let me start this the right way: What is a rally? Noun: a demonstration, a sequence of strokes between serving and scoring a point (as in tennis or squash). Verb: to come into orderly arrangement, to renew order, or united effort, as troops scattered or put to flight; to assemble, [...]

Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers, Photo by Kate Chan The beauty of maternity leave, as I am discovering, is being able to spend time with my girls as our own pace. On the weekends, rather than running every errand imaginable, we can have little adventures with the girls as a family. (Although, I do reserve plenty [...]
Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas: Meal Planning for ease
May 11, 2010 10 Comments
Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. With a toddler running ’round the house and both of us working full-time, life gets a little hectic around dinner time. Being pregnant doesn’t help, because I have moments where I HAVE-TO-EAT-NOW and then hours of I-can’t-eat-anything. It makes meal planning or cooking unpredictable, to say [...]
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
April 30, 2010 10 Comments
Where does one start with a topic as big as our daily food. For me, the real food choices began when I thought I didn’t have any choices left that I could make. But that takes a while to get to. Forgive me. I’m going to ramble a bit. Growing up, my mom cooked great [...]
Breakfast anyone?

Breakfast anyone?, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Saturday I’ve been invited to a “Brunch with the Ladies” by a tender-hearted, lovely colleague. I actually thought the brunch was a “bring-your-loved-one” event and had convinced My Love that he should go. After all, my friend is newly married and her husband and mine have a few [...]

GF: Dessert, thanks to Burt
March 31, 2008 10 Comments
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?
March 26, 2008 25 Comments
(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 [...]
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 [...]
GF: Plantain Empanadas with Queso Fresco
October 25, 2007 17 Comments
Oh… sometimes you just have to try a new recipe. And… well.. sometimes you make it once, take a picture for your blog, and then spend the next week dreaming about the next time you get to make it. It was that tasty. Next time, I think I’ll try baking these empanadas – but dang… [...]
