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 [...]
GF: Mozzarella, Basil and Tomato pizza
July 14, 2008 3 Comments
GF: Mozzarella, Basil and Tomato pizza, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. An easy, peasy gluten free lunch (or dinner!) idea. If I’m working, I make this the night before and reheat it for lunch. It’s not as tasty as it is fresh though. What’s makes this lunch or dinner delicious are the fresh ingredients. Don’t [...]
Anyone up for a BBQ?
June 5, 2008 44 Comments
I am! If only the weather would cooperate! It’s NOT pleasant. I’m cold! (I know, I should NOT complain about this as it could become QUITE hot when I’m home this summer…without air conditioning…and the house is wrapped in plastic (no windows to open) for the painters…bah!). There are two+ weeks of school left before [...]

Have you ever stood at the counter of your favorite coffee spot just wishing the line would move FASTER? Not necessarily because you were not truly enjoying the wait for the SuperFrappaWappaLappa whatever that the person before you had ordered, but because you were hungry and the goodies were making you think about it? I [...]
GF: Sorghum-Flax Bread – Make it three ways!
April 22, 2008 31 Comments
I think I am a finicky bread eater. Not because it’s gluten free bread. Nope, but because I like to make it and experiment with ways to change up a recipe. I like using the ingredients I have on hand and changing them up to see what else I can do. (And yes, I’m like [...]
GF: Homemade Egg Rolls
November 28, 2007 19 Comments
Eight years ago I had my first – and last – homemade phenomenal gluten-wrapped egg roll. I remember the evening well. My love (a native Chicagoan who also happens to be Chinese-American) and I were dating/living together at the time. While we made the egg rolls, he were talking about my first trips to Chicago, [...]
GF: Sweet Potato & Apple Coffee Cake

Who knew Costco sold sweet potatoes! OH! I’m in trouble now! Actually, it’s just going to give me a chance to try Mary Frances’s sweet potato fries (OMG) and a few other sweet potato dishes. We make some to-die-for candied/brandied sweet potatoes around here, but I’m trying to branch out. I’ve also been craving a [...]

I really didn’t plan to post today. BUT… I *am* still avoiding that stack of papers that need correcting. Blah. But since a gal’s gotta eat, baking is a great distraction. And tonight’s experiment proved blog worthy. Really. My sister stopped over to borrow some CDs and so, well.. I made her stay a little [...]
