So this blog post should really be a post of the numerous ways the month of September has come and is exiting before my head has been able to wrap itself around it all. Surely I am not the only mom who finds herself witnessing myself both coming and going in the middle of the [...]
Gluten Free Rainbow Enchiladas
August 7, 2012 4 Comments
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 [...]
Gluten Free Chinese Scallion Pancakes
August 1, 2012 11 Comments
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. [...]
Six Reasons Why: Just because it’s Gluten Free, doesn’t mean I have to eat it. Right?

So yes, this IS a “loaf” of polenta. And it was EASY to make. In fact, I made the polenta and as it cooled, I cooked some pork chops, asparagus and sliced up some fruit. Then I even whipped up some gravy with the pork bits in the pan (and sweet rice flour/butter/chicken stock – [...]
Chili-Maple Butternut Sqaush

Hello! Oh, I have missed blogging. The last post about saving time, money and energy has truly been helpful. It was good to read that others are in the same boat – and busting out the crock pot or cooking double/extra whenever they can. I am gone over and over the comments (and I suggest [...]

I bet you think I’ve fallen into a large hole around here and have lost internet access, huh? Well, I have, kind of. School started. Just last year I had 135 students a day (5 classes/high school) and this year? Oh no… this year I see 171 students (same five classes) and it’s A LOT. [...]
KISS Your Greens, gluten free

Keep It Simple, Silly: Collard Greens Photo by Kate Chan I have to be honest. The last couple of CSA boxes have had collard greens. And I’ve swapped them out every week because I’ve been intimidated. My Love really enjoys collard greens – but it is also because he loves southern food and has had [...]
Creamy Brown Rice Risotto

Risotto. It’s one of the dishes I first ate after being diagnosed with Celiac. I know for some of you the idea of NOT knowing what risotto is a little stupefying, but it’s true. It’s not really a daily menu deal in my upbringing in Minnesota (or at least it wasn’t back-in-the-day). Since my diagnosis [...]
CSA Week 2: Radish Cakes

Gluten Free Savory Radish Cakes photo by Kate Chan A couple weeks ago, we opened our first CSA box with joy and glee. Zoe flipped the top open with a giggle. ”It’s like Christmas, Momma!” she exclaimed. Ha! In my mind, I was thinking “Thank God Christmas doesn’t come with radishes!” (I’m going to regret [...]
CSA Cooking Week 1: Getting a toddler to eat more veggies
June 15, 2011 17 Comments
Roasted Radishes, photo by Kate Chan This spring my Love and I have decided to try using a few local food sources more consistently as a means of improving our health, modeling healthy eating for the girls, and primarily – to encourage our little whippersnappers to eat their veggies! Now don’t get me wrong: both [...]
GF Spinach-Cheese Buns

Don’t worry. I’m here. I cannot believe it has been so long since I last posted. In my mind, I’ve posted a dozen times since the last. Hmm… that must be what happens when sleep deprivation takes over: you dream that your blog posts are getting updated when really… you are just dreaming it to [...]
Gluten Free Pumpkin Fries
October 15, 2010 12 Comments
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 [...]
