Multigrain Cream Scones for the Gluten-Free Ratio Rally

May 4, 2011

I’m not the same baker I was when I was when I started creating in this space. To start baking, I now pull out my scale. I don’t think twice about using a handful of flours. Xanthan gum doesn’t always make it in (and it doesn’t always need it – like these). Sometimes I take [...]

Milkshake Ice Cream

April 29, 2011

Raw food. What comes to mind first? I think of my dog’s food. I know that sounds positively terrible, but he’s been on a raw food diet for almost all of his life. Raw meat, some vegetables, things like that. But, let me tell you one thing: this is not your dog’s raw food. Last [...]

Of Castles and Ruins

April 25, 2011

Every so often, I share a bit of my trip to Europe, last summer. I know that this summer is fast approaching (and I haven’t made a dent in telling about this trip), but I love to write and reminisce about visiting Scotland, London and Paris. This is part four – here is part one, [...]

Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes

April 20, 2011

[Before I get started, I should explain the photo. I only took photos of these once- the time I made them for school, for a project. We were unionists (as in we supported the formation of unions in the UK in the 1800s). Anyways, long story short, our slogan was "Working together for you!" In [...]

Cocoa Quickbread for the Gluten-Free Ratio Rally

April 6, 2011

I think Spring is my favourite season. Come summer, when the sun is high and school is out, or come fall when the leaves are alight in beautiful colours, or even come the start of winter when glittering snow starts to fall, I may change my mind. I have a soft spot for each season, [...]

Quick Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls

March 24, 2011

Words have been failing me lately. I’m staring at this blank screen, with the cursor pulsing, taunting. With any luck, you’re staring at a screen full of words. Perhaps they’re lyrical and poignant, or comforting and simple. I can’t be sure yet, but you will find out soon. My mind has been bouncing around quite [...]

Some Love.

February 14, 2011

Valentine’s day. It’s always been a fun day. Elementary school was by far the best. It was a weeklong event. Making mailboxes, creating valentines and labouring over what words would be sent to each person. We would celebrate with the class as we handed out our valentines and enjoyed the heart shaped treats. Butterflies filled [...]

The Kitchen Generation

February 3, 2011

I don’t know how to start this. I’m too excited to weave my words into any sort of mosaic, before jumping into the excitement. Today, I get to share a top-secret project with you. We just launched The Kitchen Generation. What is that? It’s a new site. A group project created by myself and a [...]

Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten-Free Round-Up

January 31, 2011

Three years. As of yesterday, I’ve been gluten-free for three years. Three whole years. Only three. It’s big yet little all at once. Being diagnosed has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Going gluten-free allowed me to grow into a healthy body, fall in love with food and it [...]
