Somehow February just flew by. I felt like I couldn’t keep up with all of my work, let alone extras. My body is going through lots of changes and adjustments that aren’t always easy to tolerate. Things have been a bit crazy at home, and Abram has decided to never sleep in again (I hope …
Amaranth Tapioca Chocolate Bars (gluten free, egg free, dairy free, oat free, nut free)
Yesterday I made another version of a gluten free bar. This time I used amaranth and tapioca. I also added some cocoa powder to make them a little more of a treat. Another big hit! As you can see my little baking helper/taste tester approved. If it’s chocolate, he will come 🙂 **I made a …
Teff and Rice "Granola" Bars (gluten free, egg free, nut free, dairy free, oat free, soaked)
I’m still working on making safe snacks for myself that I can stock up and then just grab when I need them. Yesterday I decided to make some “granola” bars. Although oats are technically gluten free I haven’t tolerated them for years now. So I have to come up with other ways to make granola. My …
Meal Plans Week of 2-24-13
Good morning, all. It’s the last week of February. I’m hoping with the onset of March comes the onset of spring. We’re all pretty sick of the never ending snow. I think 40 degrees would feel like a heat wave 🙂 This week will be fairly normal. Justin and Rebecca get two Daddy daughter dates …
Pumpkin Pot Pie With Soaked Amaranth Crust (gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free)

Soaked Garbanzo Flour Carob Scones (gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free)
I’m starting to experiment with alternative grains. And I want to try soaking them to make them easier to digest. Today was one of my first major experiments.

Meal Plans Week of 2-17-13
It’s another coooold Michigan morning. I’m very ready for spring! But it doesn’t look like it’ll be here any time soon. Single digits this morning. Brrr. This will be a fairly normal week.
