...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 [...]
Welcome to the new “home” for GlutenFreeGobsmacked! I’ve owned this domain for years, but for some crazy reason, I never left wordpress.com. Well, I bit the bullet now. It took a bit of a migraine to get everything over here and things may not be exactly the way I want/need them to be, but for [...]
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 [...]
Our CSA box this morning included a huge bunch of rainbow chard. Got any ideas for me? I’ve exhausted my chard repertoire ( which is admittedly quite small.)

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. [...]
It is not nearly as hot here in the Pacific Northwest as it is where my family is (Chicago & Minnesota). You guys have certainly had the heat wave. We are still wearing our October gear in the mornings. However, yesterday it was 85F. (I know, still not hot comparatively, but come on… that’s [...]
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 [...]
I’ve made this so many times… I actually stopped making it for several years because, well, quite honestly? I didn’t like it. I guess I kept eating it because I *thought* I *should* like it. What a dumb reason to eat it! LOL But now? I LOVE IT! (But only when prepared like this. LOL!) [...]
When you were diagnosed? What did the doctor say? My doctor told me (over the phone) that I could no longer eat “bread, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc” He never mentioned breakfast. And I didn’t think about it. After all, I’ve never been a big breakfast eater anyway – or at least not on weekdays. There [...]
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 [...]
