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 [...]The post A long winter appeared first on Gluten Free Gobsmacke
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 [...]The post Gluten Free Grassho
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 [...]The post Celebrating a new web home: Best Ever GF Blueberry Muffins appeared fi
Okay – so just a word of warning: this blog post is definitely a whoa-is-me whining post. So feel free to move on if you have never had a day like I’ve been having lately. I’m done. I’m done having Celiac Disease. Are you? Well, okay. I just wish I were done. Today is one [...]The post Ho Hum … I’m done appeared first on Gluten Free Gobsmacked.

I don’t know how many of you have tried Korean spicy chicken wings prior to having to eat gluten free, I only did once. And they were delicious, sticky, spicy and oh-so-good! My husband often picks up a pack when we are at the Korean grocer for munching. I don’t make them at home – [...]

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 [...]

So it’s December? Or should I say it’s almost 2013?! Not like you need me to state the obvious, I’m just reflecting on how much of my “life” seems to be under different categories. I’m obviously not able to keep up with every thing (this blog included) but I’m not quite willing to let it [...]The post Christmas Cookies appeared first on Gluten Free Gobs

Delivering a pumpkin spice gluten free cupcake (to share) and forgetting to grab the forks for the eaters.
Okay – so sitting down to type up a post just has not happened. I have been sick lately – not just with a cold, but beyond normal. I thought I had mono (nope) and am just ready to be able to take a full breath again. I’m so tired, but life just does not [...]
So this blog post should really be a post of the numerous ways the month of September has come and is exiting before my head has been able to wrap itself around it all. Surely I am not the only mom who finds herself witnessing myself both coming and going in the middle [...]

I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to Pinterest. I haven’t started a Gluten Free Board – YET! – because I know once I do, it will just all be downhill until then. I will never have to get off my duff to be creative again. But you know what? … It is perfect [...]
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.)
Seriously. This is why my posts have dropped in quantity. I truly think all of us cook like this, so it feels awkward to post this but here goes nothing. Maybe someone hasn’t made an enchilada before? Maybe you are stuck in a rut (like I usually am…lol) making the same-old-same-old meals day in and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
My last post highlighted what I think are the Ten Tips I’d give a newbie on this dietary path (aimed at those with Celiac diagnosis, but applicable to all who MUST follow a gluten free diet). Part of it mentioned how important it is to cook – and learn to cook. I have been reflecting [...]
There are huge hurdles to overcome when you receive your diagnosis of Celiac Sprue. But there are great things ahead. Just hold on tight – it does get easier. Oh, you will have your moments of rueing the lack of gluten free cafe/sandwich & soup shops or convenience food. You will feel a hunger-pang followed [...]
Gluten free Feta & Dill crackers (with homemade hummus)Photo by Kate Chan My girls have been asking for “pies” in their lunch boxes lately. I couldn’t figure out what they wanted. (Yes, I am the only one who packs their lunches…so yes, I’m … slow. LOL!) They assured me that they had eaten peanut butter [...]
Reblogged from Gluten Free Gobsmacked: Gluten Free Chicken Potstickers, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. (Are you out there Colleen? I hope so! You’re the inspiration for this late night creation.) Late last fall, my husband and I set out to recreate some egg rolls. Culling tips from his Chinese heritage, we had the filling in [...]
I’ve been pouring over my meal planning notebook (or.. scraps-in-book). I’m finding my pattern of foods and comfort speedy foods as well. I thought this might be the best place to put together a mini-list of the ones I have found to be the most reliable for our family. I am REALLY curious to know [...]
Just recently my husband and I were talking about soy sauce. I know, it’s not your typical lovey-dovey conversation, but really – who has those everyday and/or posts them on their blogs? But in all honesty, our discussion has often bounced back to soy sauce in regard to Celiac/Gluten Free diet. You see, the [...]
Gobble. Gobble. (Or so my sister’s Thanksgiving phone calls always begin. But it’s April and I’m gobbling like a turkey. While you might be thinking I’ve gone ’round the bend (almost!), I’m just happy to find a flavorful, speedy GLUTEN FREE dinner staple! I avoid marinated meats, etc in the meat department for obvious reasons. [...]
