GF Spinach-Cheese Buns

New Product: The GFB (The Gluten Free Bar) – and a GIVE AWAY

DISCLAIMER:  I have NO connection whatsoever with this company.  I received 4 bars to taste for this review. I rarely do product reviews, so for those of you who are curious about that please know this:  I love easy, accessible gluten-free foods, but I’m picky!  If I can make a better version in my kitchen, [...]

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 [...]

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.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip & Tahini Cookies

GF:  Chocolate Chip & Tahini Cookies, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. MMM!

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.

Gluten Free Menu Swap – July 28

Oh, man!  What am I going to make this week?  Bah!  I, honestly, am not sure. My menu plan is much like this lighthouse – ONE mile AWAY from the water.  (Think I’m kidding?  Read this.) And my menu plan?  AT LEAST a mile away from my brain and creativity.  You see, being the end [...]

Gluten Free and Easy: Crepes

When I was in middle school – 6th grade, I think – we were all required to take a cooking class. Unbelievably, I still have the “cookbook” the teacher gave us (mimeographed in purple ink, of course.) I shared the contents with my sister a couple months ago. We both shared a great laugh about [...]
