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 [...]

The Gluten Free & Healthy Bon Bon, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Feast your eyes on these nutritional details: Sugar Free. Casein Free. Transfat, Saturated Fat Free.

Gluten Free Whole Grain, Saturate Fat-Free Banana Bread Photo by Kate Chan The other day at the market I picked up some bananas. (Thrilling tidbit, I know.) The deal was too good to resist: 39 cents/pound for ORGANIC bananas. Say what? I took a double-look to make sure I had read that right. And yes, [...]
Gluten-Free: Sun-dried Tomato Sandwich Bread

On Sunday afternoon, I made this great sandwich bread. I tend to make bread on Sundays so that I can have sandwiches for lunch the first few days of the week. It makes for an easy lunch to pack and quite honestly, I really enjoy a good sandwich. Maybe that is what I missed the [...]

Sometimes I wonder what the big life plan is for us as individuals. Don’t we all? Before I was lucky enough to have met my love, I went on a few noteworthy (in the incredibly hilarious sense) dates. I decided in the midst of these dates that there *really* should be a huge map of [...]

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 [...]
