The Best Gluten Free Crab Cakes
So I thought it might be time to taunt you with what’s for dinner
That bread is from Bob’s Red Mill–his wheat-free bread sold in his store.
We are having a stream of sunshine at the moment…..
Served up with Tomato Coulis and Cilantro Oil—and an Australian Shiraz
Find it in Cooking Gluten-Free! On Wednesday, come back for my Crêpe recipe –provided here as part of the Gluten Free Ratio Rally. We start rallying very early on Wednesday morning.
Cheers!
Gluten Free Decadent Chocolate Cake
This week I prepared something every day in advance for my son’s birthday requests. He wanted French toast for breakfast, a chocolate cake and pizza for dinner…..it sounds simple enough but I always seem to fall down a rabbit hole when it comes to events like this because one thing leads to another and before you know it it has taken on a life of its own. read more…
Bob’s Red Mill Visit
I spent a great day with Bob Moore at Bob’s Red Mill last week!
Bob runs quite an impressive operation.
(Actually the employees own the place now, more on that in a minute.)
After the visit, I thought a lot about Stone Ground Whole Grain Flour……… read more…
The Herbfarm in Woodinville, WA

The menu was designed for Red Heads……. for those who love red wine.
Perfect for a cold winter evening and a quick little trip. Not that going from Seattle to Woodinville is much of a trip but it turned out to be exactly what we needed.
Last Friday night our son went on a retreat and our daughter is at college so we booked a night at the Willows Lodge in Woodinville and made reservations at The Herbfarm. This meant that after dinner we had to walk across the parking lot to get safely home for the night, it was worth every penny. read more…
The other day I found this recipe on Twitter for Muffin Tin Chicken Pot Pie at The Baker Chick. I must confess I had never had chicken pot pie (until last night) but I have always been intriqued by the idea and also by the mini size of these that could be made in advance and frozen for later. read more…
Maninis Gluten Free Pasta and Bread
Before the holidays I had the opportunity to meet with Jim Collins of Maninis. We both live in the same neighborhood in Seattle and several friends suggested that we meet. I had heard that he was developing gluten free bread and pasta. (and in a funny twist of fate I also used to drive his daughter home in the track practice car pool !) I am normally cautious about recommending products since I am pretty particular about the quality of gluten free food and many people use a variety of nutritionally void gluten free flours.
When I heard he was using amaranth, sorghum, millet, oat flour and some starchs I was pretty excited to find out about his products. read more…
Buttermilk Biscuits made with Multi Blend GF Flour Mix and Teff Flour
It can be difficult to know who to believe sometimes.
Our family recently learned an interesting lesson, but in order to tell that part of the story I have to go back in time a bit.
Eighteen years ago our daughter experienced flushed cheeks soon after eating a meal. This seemed strange to me so I did a little reading and ultimately we went through a multi-elimination diet and discovered she reacted to corn and cow’s milk – we took those elements out of her diet (we also took her to an allergist who confirmed this with testing). read more…
In this picture the potatoes don’t look like much of anything but I can tell you they are easy and taste great. We made two versions: with dairy and also dairy-free.
Here is a quick recipe that you can make ahead and bake in the oven while you prepare other things. read more…
As we continue on through this very busy month yet still need to feed the family, I was looking around for a Thai Coconut Curry Soup and found the Queen of Quinoa. My husband and son love this soup–it’s pretty spicy so I will have to figure a way to make it so it appeals to all of us. Maybe I will separate a portion for me out before adding in as much heat. read more…
Kathy Casey
One of my favorite local chefs is Kathy Casey. She blazed the trail for women pursuing a career as a chef. When I first moved to Seattle she was making a name for herself at Fuller’s and receiving national attention for her creativity. read more…
