I never had cornbread growing up (so sad). The first time I tried it was probably when I was in college. And I’ve loved it ever since! Corn has been out of my diet for over a year now. And I miss cornbread. It’s my go-to accompaniment for chili. Corn muffins are great with just …
Lost and Found…And Lost Again
Over the last month I’ve had a lot of ideas floating around in my head. Just when I think I figure something out I find contradictory information or another avenue to explore. The best way for me to make sense of my thoughts is to write them out. So bear with me as I navigate …
Meal Plans Week of 11-11-12
Another new week. Another adventure 🙂 That’s my life. Last week our (mostly unplanned) adventures included a trip to the ped (checking for infection for Abram…negative), a day off of school (sad loss at Rebecca’s school), roofers coming unexpectedly (at our house when I came home from grocery shopping…made nap time very interesting and stressful…two …
Simple Chicken Nuggets
I’ve made chicken nuggets countless times. I’ve made them in a variety of ways. But I have always used chicken breast or roasted chicken. Last week I put chicken nuggets on my menu…then went to the freezer to get chicken…and found I had no chicken breast. Hmmm. I did have some ground chicken, so I figured …
Crockpot Pumpkin Custard (GAPS-legal, nut free, egg white free)
Over the weekend I tried a new fall recipe for pumpkin custard. Another delicious recipe from Cara at Health, Home and Happiness. We all enjoyed it. Plus it’s grain and nut free. I did modify it a bit. I only used egg yolks so I could eat it. I also used raw cream instead of …
Meal Plans Week of 11-4-12
As of 7:00 last night I had no meals planned 😛 But I think I managed to fill in every day now. I was busy last week working on my writing assignments whenever I had a few minutes at the computer (which wasn’t often since Abram had a lot of early mornings) so meal plans got put …

Real Food For The Holidays – An Online Cooking Class
Tomorrow is November…really! I can’t believe it either. And it means that the holidays will be here very soon. At this time of year we all get busy with planning parties, buying gifts, baking treats, etc. It can be very hectic and very stressful. This is not the time to reach for whatever is simple and …
End of Month Recap – October 2012
Here we are at the end of October…and looking through my goals I realize I did not accomplish many of them 😛 In my defense I lost an entire week to the flu. Plus we were busy. Oh well. Here’s the recap. FOOD 1. Rebecca’s Recipes – Rebecca still helps me plan meals and baking projects. …
Baked Apples
I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas. This week I came across Cara’s recipe for slow cooker baked apples. It was just what I needed – grain and nut free and easy prep. I was going to make them in the crockpot, but then I changed my mind. Since I was only making a few …
