Gluten Free Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

GF Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins, Photo by Kate Chan Last week I couldn’t get enough pumpkin…. or chocolate… or sleep.  But that last one is definitely not worth blogging about (unless any of you have tips on easing a toddler out of nightmares or getting a baby to sleep longer than 6 hours a night [...]

GF:Blueberry-Apricot Oat Bars

GF:Blueberry-Apricot Oat Bars, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. A gentle GF warning: Your gluten-eating friends will clean you out of these addicting bars when you take them to share to summer BBQs and parties this year. Just prepare yourself by maybe placing a few gluten-free slices on a separate plate before the gluten-grubbers dig in [...]

Gluten Free Easy Sponge Cake

GF Easy Sponge Cake, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Really, truly, honestly…. this is the best and easiest cake I have ever made. And… I can’t even count how many times I’ve made it in the last 6 months – it’s that good and that easy. I started making a cake like this back at [...]

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip & Tahini Cookies

GF:  Chocolate Chip & Tahini Cookies, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. MMM! So life is exciting around here.  Sorry for the lack of posts, but my body just hasn’t had the energy I’ve needed to keep up with working full-time, grading papers at night, playing with my Chicklet/toddler and managing a household of illnesses in [...]

A slightly more decadent Calas: Cocoa Calas

A Slightly More Decadent Calas: Cocoa Calas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the Chicklet has been home with a bit of a toddler-style, No-Day-Care allowed cold for the first couple days this week.

Thank you, Starbucks…..

Thank you, Starbucks….., originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay…so this morning I stopped at Starbucks for the first time in a LONG time.

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 [...]

GF: Crispy, Melt-In-Your Mouth Sugar Cookies

GF: Crispy, Melt-In-Your Mouth Sugar Cookies, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Cookie breaks are definitely needed around my house lately.

Gluten Free Rhubarb Cake with Strawberry-Grand Marnier Sauce

Gluten Free Rhubarb Cake with Strawberry-Grand Marnier Sauce, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I love Rhubarb, my college buddy. To this day, I’m not sure how she got the nickname Rhubarb… I don’t even know if she EATS rhubarb (do you, Rhube?), but I love her. And while it was an interesting nickname, it wasn’t [...]

New School, Gluten Free No Sugar Nut Butter and Oat Cookies

New School, Gluten Free No Sugar Nut Butter and Oat Cookies, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay..what the heck is going on! Time is FLYING! FLYING, I tell you! I completely intended to post this the day after we made them (oh…about the 10th of June). Suddenly, I look up and Father’s Day is tomorrow! [...]

Gluten Free, Old School No Bake Nut Butter and Oat Cookies

Gluten Free, No Bake Nut Butter and Oat Cookies, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So I picked up a copy of an old cookbook that I have from “Up North” (You, Minnesotans know what I’m talking about…). I started to check out the index as I have just picked up these delicious blueberries that Zoe [...]
