Welcome to fall! The weather is changing, and fall produce is everywhere. I love it!
Time to start another busy week. More kindermusik, dance and school. My little one also has a hearing test. We’re praying for good results.
Speaking of my little one, I can’t believe she is one month old already today! Time sure is flying. Overall she’s doing well. But I’m still trying to figure out if there is something I’m eating that’s bothering her. So I’ll be doing some diet experimenting this week. That seems to be a constant activity in my life.
Last week I had my thyroid levels rechecked. They really went up since I had them tested in May!! My thyroid is healing. Even though the levels are higher (even above range a bit) my doctor said to stay on my current medication dose unless I start feeling worse.
Be sure to check out last week’s posts. I shared more tasty recipes – gluten free corn muffin mix and how to dress a salad in twenty seconds (I used that trick almost ever day last week!).
My kitchen projects this week are mostly breads and muffins to go with meals. My husband and oldest daughter went raspberry picking yesterday, so I’ll be making stuff with those and freezing some as well. Yesterday I made our first dutch apple pie of the season! There will be plenty more pies coming in the next few months.
For meals I had to start getting creative. We are really low on meat right now. We’ll get a few more things at our co-op this week. I’m anxious for our 1/4 cow and 1/2 pig to be ready as well. Hopefully soon. Nevertheless I’ll be doing my best to get nourishing meals on the table. How about you? What’s on your menu this week?
