Sautéed Broccoli
I truly believe this is the best way to make broccoli and the best way to convert non-broccoli eaters. Both my husband and my son love it cooked this way. There was one day a couple years ago where I thought, I don’t want to steam and I don’t want to roast. Steaming doesn’t have […]
Bang Bang PDX
This year for my birthday dinner–and my first birthday being GF!–I wanted to try a new 100% GF restaurant I’d never been to before. Referencing GIG Portland’s 100% GF restaurant list I chose Bang Bang PDX, located on NE Fremont and 47th. Featuring Asian menu items, the food here is not only delicious but super […]
Quiche
I hosted a small tarot reading party in my backyard with a few girlfriends and the guest of honor was vegetarian so quiche was the first idea that came to mind. It’s packed with protein, savory and delicious. It pairs great with a salad for dinner or with fruit for breakfast. My original plan was […]
Waffles
I love waffles or pancakes on a weekend morning, and my little 3 year old loves to help! This particular recipe comes from my great aunt Norma. The original recipe is of course made for regular flour but I have always made it with GF flour, even before my celiac diagnosis, because the texture is […]
Quinoa Tabbouleh
Mediterranean is one of my favorite cuisines and now that I have celiac, it’s so much harder to find safe gluten-free Mediterranean food. I have always loved tabbouleh, a traditional Lebanese salad made from parsley, bulgar wheat, tomato, lemon, olive oil, etc. It’s delicious! I started making this tabbouleh-inspired salad about 6 years ago for […]
Kyra’s Bake Shop
Kyra and I go way back. We’ve been friends for about 15 years—before she opened her award-winning bakeshop and even before she was GF! What started as a small operation in her home kitchen has grown into the Portland area’s top gluten-free bakery, located in Lake Oswego. Kyra has won The Food Network’s Cupcake Wars […]
Kristin’s 1234 Cupcakes
Yesterday I turned 40! It feels strange to have entered a new decade. In celebration of my birthday I had to make vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles, my absolute favorite, to share with my friends and keep in the freezer when a craving strikes. This recipe is my favorite if I have to make my own […]
Granny’s No-Bake Cheesecake
Both my and my husband’s grandmas used to make this super easy no-bake cheesecake. My husband remembers this cheesecake pie vividly from his childhood, always made by his Granny, hence the name. He talked about this cheesecake for YEARS not knowing how to make it or what it was called, even asking family members, and […]
Kate’s Ice Cream
Kate’s Ice Cream used to be a pop-up which made it harder to track down when the ice cream craving strikes but they JUST opened their first brick and mortar shop on N. Mississippi Avenue open daily from 12-10pm! This is THE ice cream shop for those with food allergies because a 100% safe eatery […]

You’ll also find fresh tropical cocktails made from house-made juices and syrups. Mestizo has plenty of outdoor seating and a fantastic […]
