A few months ago I re-introduced wheat into our diets in the form of traditionally prepared sourdough. So far it’s going very well. It is the only wheat we eat. Since it is fermented most of the gluten is broken down. I also use spelt since it is a milder form of wheat. Since then …
Good morning. Are you ready for the new week? Spring break is over for us, so it’s back to normal routines, orthodontist and mom’s group. Plus I have lots of errands to run. To top it off this Friday is my daughter’s seventh birthday! So I’ll be working on birthday treats all week long (two …
I have another super simple way to add broth to your breakfast. It doesn’t even require cooking (unless you consider making toast cooking). The only thing this does require is very gelled broth. It should be unseasoned or very mildly seasoned if you want to add jam. Then just grab a knife, some toast and …

Despite the growing variety of alternative milks available, it is not something I’ve ever seen at the store (though I have seen one brand of it online). As I mentioned …
Looking for a unique dairy alternative that does not contain coconut or nuts? This homemade oat milk is cheap, easy to make, and delicious. I am a huge fan of raw milk. I’d drink it by the glass full if I could right now. But my little one would be in a lot of pain …
Happy Palm Sunday! I can’t believe we are only a week away from Easter. With more cold weather and a chance of snow it sure doesn’t feel like it. And with our first round of flu to hit our house the whole season it also doesn’t seem like spring. It was another stressful weekend of …
