Gluten Free 13.1: The SF Half Marathon

Last weekend I ran the San Francisco Half Marathon. There were more hills than I was expecting (Yes, I know we’re in SF but a runner can hope can’t she) but it was a great race and I didn’t stop for a second. The 13.1 mile course covered some amazing views and I got to

Gluten Free SF Marathon Expo

Last Friday I went to the San Francisco Marathon Expo to pick up my bib number and running shirt for the half marathon. I also went to check out what they had to offer in terms of energy filled samples in the hopes that there would be something gluten free for me to nibble. I

Gluten Free Wedding Catering

Our wedding is taking place in John’s parent’s yard and we plan to serve a buffet style linner. As we had only a month to plan everything, we assumed that finding a local place which does gluten free catering would be a problem. I’ve never had to deal with any sort of catering in the

Spicy Shrimp Kimchi Stir Fry

Since Korea I’m all about the kimchi. It can add flavour and spice to so many different dishes.

Kryptonite Beef Curry

John and I do a lot of experimenting with meals. I don’t think we have ever followed a recipe. We are more the ‘try it out and see what happens’ type. We tend to buy a bunch of things that we like and then choose a selection that we think would work together, adding various
