Good morning…good because Abram is asleep…at the moment…I think. Although I’m not totally sure. I may only have seconds 😛 On to a new week. Not too crazy of a week thankfully. Last week was quite busy. And such odd weather for winter in Michigan! On Sunday we were playing in the snow. Yesterday we …
Mood, Brain, Diet – My Current Status
I’ve been wanting to write this post for some time now. But I keep coming across new information. And I’m still reading and researching. (Not to mention I don’t have much time to write a long post these days with a little guy that can’t seem to sleep past 6am.) But I wanted to give an …
The Letter S
I can’t say we did a lot with the letter S last week. We were just too busy. How fitting that we got a Berenstain Bear book from the library called Too Much Pressure…they were doing too much stuff and didn’t have time to just relax and enjoy life 😛 We did do a few …
Meal Plans Week of 1-29-12
I really can’t believe January is coming to an end in a few days. This has been such a crazy winter so far that it hardly even feels like January! That’s just fine with me 🙂 Last week was back to busy. We had fun catching up with friends at Kindermusik and a MOPS playdate. …
Soaked Whole Wheat Biscuits
I recently downloaded the soaking grains e-book from Kitchen Stewardship. Tons of great recipes. And it’s free! This week I tried Katie’s biscuit recipe. It is super easy. And I was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out. Not exactly like a biscuit you might be used to. But not far off. And very good! …
Soaked Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastry
I’m trying to make more properly prepared grains these days. So this week I tried a Nourishing Traditions recipe for cream cheese breakfast pastries. You use homemade cream cheese to soak the flour. They turned out really well! If Justin approves of a soaked baked good I call it a winner. And they were quite simple …
Rustic Chicken Stew
For Sunday dinner this week I made rustic chicken stew. It’s not a new recipe to me, but I haven’t made it in a long time. I used to make it all the time, when I was first learning how to cook and how to use my crockpot. It’s from a cookbook called The Ultimate …
The Letter R
R week was kind of Random. And how fitting that some of our neighbors/friends stopped by yesterday doing Random acts of kindness…they brought us cookies 🙂 We didn’t do any major projects. My focus this week was Rebecca and doing what she wanted. We actually had a decent amount of one-on-one time. And her request …
Meal Plans Week of 1-22-12
As I expected January is flying by! But I feel like I’ve been accomplishing a lot of my goals and learning a ton! So, it’s fast but good 🙂 Last week was fairly busy. But since Rebecca had a cold we couldn’t do everything we wanted…like go to MOPS 🙁 I guess I have to …
Apple Raisin Cake
Yesterday Rebecca and I made a simple “cake” for our baking project. The recipe is from my Vitamix cookbook. In the book it is called a bread. But it is baked in an 8″ pan and is a lot more like cake to me. The end product is very good. It’s quite moist from all …
