Tandoori Coconut Chicken and Rice
I found a similar Tandoori chicken and rice inspiration recipe on Pinterest and I found that whenever I made it I was always changing the recipe, so the last time I made this, I wrote down everything I did so that I can recreate again and again. Tandoori Coconut Chicken & Rice CHICKEN: 1 tsp. […]
Pumpkin Bread
One of my favorite things to bake in the fall is pumpkin bread. I got this recipe over 10 years ago from my husband’s coworker’s wife. I had made pumpkin bread that turned out just OK and then we had guests over for Thanksgiving and she was one of them. She brought over pumpkin bread […]

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 […]
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 […]
Chicken Shwarma
I LOVE Mediterranean food and it’s now tricky to find mediterranean food at restaurants that is celiac safe. I created this spice rub to use on chicken thighs or chicken kebabs just like the kebabs at Lebanese restaurants. This chicken is a flavorful spiced chicken perfect for the grill and to accompany all your favorite […]
5 Minute Hummus
I love hummus–it’s hearty, healthy, contains good fats, garlic and spices. I don’t love store-bought hummus, however. I don’t like how it’s a little bit tangy and not super flavorful. I’m not a huge fan of tahini even though it’s a necessary ingredient in classic Lebanese hummus. This hummus that I throw together in 5 […]
Lemon Braised Chicken with Olives
I LOVE braising! Braising, or cooking in liquid, ensures the meat is super moist and flavorful. For best results use a braising pan. Braising pans are generally enameled cast iron pots or pans with a heavy lid with ridges or bumps that allow the evaporated moisture to collect and drip back down into the food […]
