How is it possible that this is the last week of April already? I feel like the weeks are flying by right now. I guess that’s what happens when you are busy and productive. Last week I had fun meeting up with some fellow Michigan bloggers. I got a really fun book that I’ll be …
Butternut Squash Quinoa Risotto (gluten free, dairy free)
I LOVE risotto. I also LOVE anything with squash. Unfortunately my son is allergic to rice (yes, really). So I never make risotto anymore. My son is also fairly picky. But I was craving risotto the other day. So I crossed my fingers and made a quinoa version that we could all eat. The verdict? …
Meal Plans Week of 4-20-14
Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Happy Easter!! Last week we had so much fun celebrating my daughter’s 6th birthday. She enjoyed all of her special treats and presents. It sure kept me busy, but it’s worth the effort. We also went to an Easter egg hunt. The kids had fun finding the …

April showers bring May flowers. I hope that’s what all this rain will do! After such a long winter it feels very strange to have rain and thunderstorms. It’s hard to believe it’s mid-April already!! I feel like I missed half of it because we were on vacation for a week. It’s good to be …
Meal Plans Week of 4-6-14
It’s April! I only have one more week with a five-year old girl. At least I get to spend lots of time with her since it’s spring break. That means none of our usual activities. We’ll do lots of fun stuff together instead. Since it is spring break I’m taking a break from my usual …
Gluten Free Dairy Free Orange Cranberry Scones (egg free, nut free, rice free)
Almost every Friday we have breakfast for dinner. It gets hard to come up with a variety of hearty breakfast food when you can’t serve eggs, dairy or wheat. Recently I decided to make one of my favorite breakfast foods as a component of our meal – scones! Instead of finding a recipe I wanted …
Meal Plans Week of 3-30-14
Good morning. March is almost done…and hopefully the really cold weather is too. I hope the 60* forecast for tomorrow is true!! We don’t have a whole lot going on this week aside from the usual activities like school and Kindermusik. That means it’s time to work on cleaning! At least that’s my plan for …
Fudge Caramel Cone Swirl Ice Cream
Ice cream has to be my absolute favorite food. I love to make homemade ice cream so that it is nutrient-dense and does not contain any chemicals. As an added bonus, when you make your own ice cream you can create any flavor you like! We generally don’t have much cream all winter since our …
Meal Plans Week of 3-23-14
It’s hard to believe this is the last full week of March already! I’m thankful that it is ending better than it started. At the beginning of the month I was still taking my anti-nausea meds some days, and I could only manage a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Today I had salmon and roasted …
Meal Plans Week of 3-16-14
Good morning. We’re half way through March already! Time sure goes faster when you don’t spend all of your time on the couch. It also helps that the weather is finally changing. It looks like more 40’s this week! Last week we kept plenty busy. My husband and I even got to go out sans …
