gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

We're awfully fond of Sesame Street around here.Every morning, at 8 am, we turn on the television, find the kids' section from On Demand, and choose a Sesame Street episode. Should we watch Elmo learning salsa? Or Baby Bear trying to rid himself of hiccups? We three settle in on the couch, Lu on my lap, and watch the opening and sing. Read more...

The Soup That Was: A GF Speedy Potato Soup

The Soup That Was: GF Speedy Potato Soup, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. No photo for the soup today. Seems the battery was dead on the only camera within reach when the soup was done. AND… if there is one thing I have learned with TWO little ones at home it is this: Eat when you can because someone is bound to need something as soon as the spoon heads toward your mouth. Yesterday was one of those days… and today is not looking much better.  I think maybe I’m just wiser. Read more...

Jules Gluten Free Baking Mixes

As a celiac herself, noted gluten-free cookbook author, speaker, teacher and consultant Jules Shepard hit the proverbial ground running when diagnosed with celiac in 1999. Determined to not compromise on feeding herself, her family and her friends anything less than the yummy baked goods that have been her passion her whole life, Jules created a patent-pending flour mixture whose characteristics mimic wheat flour.

GlutenFreeVitamins.com for Gluten-Free Vitamins

Whether you have celiac disease, gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy, the gluten free diet is often not enough to prevent or reverse nutritional deficiencies. Studies have shown that nutritional deficiencies can persist as long as a decade after going gluten free. The right nutritional supplements can be a vital part of recovering and living a healthy gluten free lifestyle. Read more...

Happy Birthday to my girls and Aloha! gluten-free cakes

This year’s double birthday party featured a Hawaiian theme. We went to Hawaii on vacation this summer and my girls fell in love with a hula dancer we saw. (I also encouraged the Hawaii idea so I could re-use the fish decorations I have used the last two years! I am running out of themes [... Read more...

Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Truffle Cake with Strawberry Sauce (gluten free, dairy free, egg free)

Never. Not in a million years. I've seen all of those Brownie recipes floating around the internet. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that feature beans. Black beans, to be sure. Lots of bloggers have made and sang their praises. Not me. I wasn't going near a brownie recipe that contained beans. Read more...

Just an update...

I have started another cooking blog, using Aldi Grocery Stores as my inspiration. It is NOT a Gluten-free Blog BUT, when appropriate, I will copy over the posts here. Read more...

Cabbage & Eggs

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TRY THIS!!!For the last few years we've been blessed with the opportunity to host Chinese Cultural Immersion Students. It's always such an enriching experience for us as a family, and for me personally. Read more...

Gluten-Free Peach Cobbler

This is not Betty Crocker's Gluten-Free Bisquick mix. Nope. Is Mercury in retrograde? And if so, Darling, do I believe it can wreak havoc with recipes? I started out with a different approach to this peach cobbler recipe, you see. I thought I'd try out the new Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Bisquick mix I bought this week. I imagined a golden topped biscuity crust you could sink your teeth into, a melt-in-your-mouth forkful of shortcake, dripping with warm and sticky-sweet juice. Read more...

would you like some recipes from our book?

Would you like some of this? It's seared shrimp with garlic almond sauce.(It's especially good if you have Marcona almonds in the house.)How about this? It's gluten-free pasta with lemons, anchovies, pine nuts, and olives.(This particular shot, taken by the incredible Jen Yu, uses store-bought gluten-free spaghetti. Read more...

Gluten-free Potato-free Carrot French Fry Recipe

In the world of allergens, potato is an unexpectedly common trigger for some people. In the course cutting out foods that seemed to bother Baby Yum, I found it necessary to cut out potato from my diet. Read more...

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad

GF, low fat & still delicious: Potato Salad, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. My mom makes the best potato salad, hands down. She will tell you that it’s “just potato salad” but no matter what I do to try and recreate her salad, I fail at the flavor somehow. Maybe it’s just another one of those things that needs a Mom’s touch to be successful and delicious. To be honest, as a kid, I didn’t much care for her version as she mixes in crunchy celery etc with soft potatoes and eggs. Read more...

G & G leave the scene

Grammy & Grampy’s last day with the girls, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s official. Well, wait. A couple things are official and they are as follows: We are a four person household. There is no one else in the house who drinks coffee…which means no matter WHAT time I get up… I get to make it. I am suffering from Mom-Withdrawal.  Seriously.  It’s rather heartache inducing and painful. Read more...

Heirloom Potato Salad

A super easy potato salad with tasty heirloom spuds. Vegan and egg-free. I snatched up a bag of those cute little potatoes at the market yesterday. You know the ones I'm talking about. Those baby sized spuds as cute as a button. In Easter egg colors like custard and purple and pink. So sweet and adorable you want to cradle the bag and speak in your talking-to-kittens voice. Heirloom root vegetable deliciousness. Yeah, you shell out a little extra cabbage for these pretty babies, true. Read more...

You'll feel cool when you know how to do it.)However, this morning we're racing around the house, trying to get ready. Read more...

Breads From Anna Gluten Free Apple Muffin Mix and Gluten Free Maple Walnut Muffin Mix

Breads From Anna: Apple Muffins & Maple Walnut MuffinsYesterday, my husband and I held our annual Summer Music Intensive in which Early Childhood teachers join us for 6 hours of fun and music-making! In all the years we've held these seminars, we've always served a light breakfast upon their arrival to our house, and then a lovely assortment of lunch options, all lovingly made by me.

Raw Zucchini Pasta in a Vegan Curry Cream Sauce

Pasta made from raw zucchini? Yes, Darling. I'm not usually one to focus a recipe around a cooking gadget. Though Amazon knows, I love me my kitchen power tools as much as any scratch cook out there. A gluten-free goddess has gotta have some fun, after all. And sometimes, to change things up, you need to break out of your routine and try something completely new. Which, not surprisingly, brings me to pasta. I love pasta. Especially gluten-free pasta. Read more...

Gluten-free, Dairy-free, and Egg-free Amaranth Scone Recipe

I think we might have to rename the Book of Yum to “the Book of Amaranth” if I keep this up. I can’t help it. I’m eating amaranth every four days, thanks to this crazy allergen-free, gluten-free diet that I’m on. I’ve gone through phases. There was the amaranth banana muffin phase, the “amaranth gruel baked into a cracker phase, the amaranth soda bread phase, the amaranth pizza phase… but lately I’ve been bored with all of these. Read more...

Lucini gluten-free chickpea frittata mix

We receive a lot of food via UPS in this house. Companies with good intentions send us their cookies or pancake mixes to make, hoping that if we like it, we'll tell you about it.We don't tell you about most of them. In fact, I'd say 90% of the food we get ends up at the food bank or in the hands of friends. We're picky. We hope you know that means you can trust us. Read more...

gluten-free tomato tart

Lu and I were driving home this afternoon, in sudden warm sunlight. She had been at her two-afternoons-a-week daycare ("..coool!" she calls it), where she splashed in water and sat on a tricycle and longed to be able to pedal. Read more...
