...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
We ran away this weekend. It was very long overdue. Winter is hard here for us with the very limited light (although I easily admit that since it has been “very dry” in Western Washington terms, I’ve enjoyed it more). This winter has been worse. In December a colleague of mine – my [...]
A couple months ago, a colleague brought me some small gluten free cupcakes from a local bakery. They were “grasshopper” cupcakes, she told me. I was curious. She handed me the box and smiled. Said because they were gluten free, she snapped them up as she “knew someone” who could enjoy them. I’m the lucky [...]
I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to Pinterest. I haven’t started a Gluten Free Board – YET! – because I know once I do, it will just all be downhill until then. I will never have to get off my duff to be creative again. But you know what? … It is perfect [...]
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 [...]
I don’t think people realize what it means to have Celiac disease. First and foremost, it is not obsessive once you get the hang of things. There is no need for panic. Second, it does make one much more likely to think about food ahead of time far more than your typical person. Third, when [...]
There are huge hurdles to overcome when you receive your diagnosis of Celiac Sprue. But there are great things ahead. Just hold on tight – it does get easier. Oh, you will have your moments of rueing the lack of gluten free cafe/sandwich & soup shops or convenience food. You will feel a hunger-pang followed [...]
Just recently my husband and I were talking about soy sauce. I know, it’s not your typical lovey-dovey conversation, but really – who has those everyday and/or posts them on their blogs? But in all honesty, our discussion has often bounced back to soy sauce in regard to Celiac/Gluten Free diet. You see, the [...]
So if you’ve been reading along, you are no doubt in awe (like me) that I am able to sit and actually write a blog post! The girls are busy (one is next to me “studying” a map and the other is currently occupied by a toy cash register) and life is good. My Love [...]
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. [...]
I love it when my father-in-law visits. He always teaches me a new dish that is easy to prepare and wickedly economical. He is super savvy about stretching household staples and grocery budgets. (Among his many talents, let me add.) It’s amazing to me how well we can communicate considering I don’t speak Cantonese and [...]
I’ve written this post a million times over since I decided to host this month’s Gluten Free Ratio Rally. Way back in the beginning, I signed up for this with high hopes – and I was being completely selfish when I chose the task: cakes. And white/yellow cakes. (Sorry, chocolate cake fans..although a few bloggers [...]
It’s on again! The Gluten Free Ratio Rally – baking gluten-free using ratios…. and it SO works! The inaugural rally posts were focused on pancakes. This time around we are tackling quick breads or muffins. Both of which are basically the same recipe, just different baking times. Personally, I’m a fan of the loaf method. [...]
