Gluten Free Bean Burgers

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 [...]

The Soup That Was: A GF Speedy Potato Soup

No photo for the soup today. Seems the battery was dead on the only camera within reach when the soup was done. AND… if there is one thing I have learned with TWO little ones at home it is this: Eat when you can because someone is bound to need something as soon as the [...]

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. My mom makes the best potato salad, hands down. She will tell you that it’s “just potato salad” but no matter what I do to try and recreate her salad, I fail at the flavor somehow. Maybe it’s just another one of [...]

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: 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 [...]

GF Lazy Lasagna

GF Lazy Lasagna, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Not the best photo – but really? This was THE BEST lasagna! YUM! I am completely spoiled by My Love who truly is the best cook in the house.  I LOVE cooking and baking, but he has the talents.  I putter and produce tasty things… he putters [...]

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: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Somethings happen more quickly than anticipated. Like the dinner hour approaching on a school/work night. Seriously. I never knew how fast one hour could fly until now. Life is so much fun with the Chicklet that I quickly lose track of food plans and [...]

GF Tortilla Soup

GF Tortilla Soup, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sorry for the blogging lags, everyone. I really do have things to share… just not a lot of computer time to share them! And forgive the photo… it was taking without much broth so you could see the ingredients and with a HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO begging for [...]

Gluten Free Quinoa Salad

  Gluten Free Quinoa Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan.   Some days are pure magic. MAGICAL MOMENT #1:   Nature and The Chicklet Like when the sun shines and the breeze kicks up just enough to blow her little pixie hair bangs about her forward… just enough to make her throw her little hands [...]

Gluten Free, Korean Mung Bean Pancakes (Nokdu bindaetteok)

Gluten Free, Korean Mung Bean Pancakes (Vegetarian version), originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Zoe and I made lunch together today. Okay, really… she mainly napped on my back while I cooked after valiantly attempting to whip her head around to be able to see what I was doing. She loved watching me as I chopped [...]

Lunch

Lunch, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So lately my lunches have been eaten here… at my desk… with my cell phone by my side in hopes that a miraculous phone call about the Chicklet will arrive. It’s the only way I’ve made it through the day, really. It’s my only time without people around and [...]
