Toxin Free Cleaning – Norwex Review and Giveaway!
Before I even started my real food journey I learned a little bit about how toxic traditional cleaners are. I was blown away by how harmful they can be. It’s very scary. So I started making my own. Vinegar and water for window cleaner. A mix of vinegar, water and Dr. Bronner’s for an all …
Meal Plans Week of 3-17-13
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! There, my celebration is over ;P That’s about the extent of SPD celebrating we do here. Although it is a good reminder get some greens in your diet today. 30th Birthday cake (not for me :P…I’m not that young) I made it. I really did. Last week was seven degrees of …

Soaked Garbanzo Flour Pancakes/English Muffins (gluten free, grain free, nut free, egg free, dairy free)
Sometimes it’s hard to make gluten free baked goods taste as good as their wheat counterparts. I made pancakes with rice flour a couple weeks ago. They were good…but not as fluffy and light as our usual pancakes. Then I tried using garbanzo bean flour. Totally different outcome. The batter begins to puff up as …

March…really? It feels more like January here. Still cold, cold, cold with some snow, ice and rain mixed in. Hopefully if March is coming in like a lion it will go out like a lamb 🙂 I can’t say I’ve thought too much about my goals yet. The last few days I’ve had to kind …
