January 3, 2011

Twenty eleven. Can you believe it’s this time already? The last half of 2010 seemed to evaporate into thin air, leaving fuzzy memories of days that all rolled into one. Or was that just me? Anyways. 2011 is here. And we can take it wherever we want to go. I get a little bit giddy […]

Did you have a very merry Christmas? Or perhaps just a fabulous weekend? No matter what you celebrate, I hope that this past weekend was filled with joy. The greatest joy for me was the easing back of my health. It’s been slow, but a few weeks ago my thyroid dose was adjusted and it […]

Quinoa Vegetable Soup: Share Our Holiday Table

December 9, 2010

Hunger. It hasn’t be frequenting me lately. Not that I haven’t been well fed, just that I haven’t had an appetite. That’s merely a symptom of my as-yet-unknown issue. For so many out there, the opposite is true. They’re hungry and not well fed. So, in the spirit of the season, the spirit of giving, […]

Gluten-Free Blondies

Gluten-Free over the Holidays

November 15, 2010

When the word Thanksgiving is uttered, some sort of food will no doubt float to your mind. The turkey prepared so tenderly, or the pumpkin pie that was whipped together by grandma.

Gluten-Free Orange Cornmeal Muffins

November 3, 2010

I hadn’t baked in two and a half weeks. My mind was spinning off in circles, and my body was only starting to recover. I had a sinus infection. Saying it like that sounds so simple, so easy. This? Anything but. I’d missed too much school to know what was going on in any of […]

Seeing His Scotland

October 20, 2010

When I left off, I was just about to begin our day with my Nana’s cousin. He showed us around, bringing us to childhood favourites and the places that meant the most to him. It was a beautiful day, filled with family and a certain Scottish sensibility. If you missed the first part, it’s here! […]

The plane’s shadow became visible in the distance, slowly growing larger and approaching us with increasing speed. Finally, after the landing gear had descended and the runway came into view, the plane rumbled a bit in anticipation. You could feel the ground a moment away, until the wheels finally pushed into the ground in exhalation. […]

The Introduction: Glasgow

September 29, 2010

I tried to find the words. Well, actually I found way too many. Thousands and thousands erupted from my memories onto the screen. I wrote for days and hadn’t made a dent in what I wanted to say, what I wanted to capture. This was the summer I saw Europe for the first time. I […]
