Winter break from work was FULL! We were super busy with the “have-to-do” doctor appointments, dental visits, etc but even better was the fact that everyday we had a playdate or outing or event planned with friends. We even ventured to “Zoo Lights” for the first time (so much more enjoyable with little people in [...]
Gluten Free Chinese Scallion Pancakes

Oh my. I warn you. This recipe is dangerous. As in – definitely need oil/fats and holy cow…you will NOT be able to eat just one. At least not if you are like me. Traditional scallion pancakes are layered with scallions and sesame oil. This layered makes for a flakier pancake and delicious seasoning throughout. [...]
Gluten Free Pumpkin Fries
Tomorrow shall be a BIG adventure for our little one. We are off to a pumpkin farm with her Aunt Kari. Pumpkins are a big theme around here. I’m not sure that Zoe will actually let me cut into the pumpkin she picks out to make a Jack-O-Latern with her. She won’t let me touch [...]
GF Easy Treats/Yummy Source: NutsOnline

(I’m actually laying off the caffeine for a while… I’ll explain later.) The drive-thru line was much too long for me as I was running late but the store itself was pretty [...]
GF: Pao de quejo (aka “Brazilian Cheese Bread”)
GF:Pao de quejo, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I have to admit this. I love Brazilian Cheese Bread – but I really am working hard to save some money for us. So buying the different mixes is completely out. It’s been a long time since we’ve purchased the mixes. But, I’ve rather missed the quick [...]
Gluten Free: Jalapeño-Popper Dip
Gluten Free: Jalapeño-Popper Dip, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay…. so I’ve been on a baking and cooking spree lately. I swear my Mom inspires me to get things moving and done – I’m so glad she and my Dad have been here for Christmas/New Year’s with us! We – especially Zoe – is SO [...]
A gluten free, simple fig chutney
GF:Simple Fig Chutney, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes the easiest recipes yield the best results. The other day I found fresh figs in our market. It seemed kind of strange to me that I found them as i had seen figs in the late summer and October… but heck – who was I to [...]
