Happy New Year!! It’s 2012. I’m trying to start out on the right foot and trying to get over the holiday splurging. I started my day today with baking, a jog and some nourishing food. Last night we went to a hockey game, so my dinner was less than ideal…probably the worst food I’ve eaten …
Baked Spinach (grain free, egg free, nut free, GAPS-legal)
I made quite a spread for our Christmas brunch this week. But I did take one item off the menu because I just didn’t have time to prepare it. So I made it for dinner last night – baked spinach. I found the recipe on Breakfast and Brunch Recipes. It is super easy. I really …
Homemade Butter
I did it…I finally made butter! It only took four attempts 😛 And I still have one to go. Now that we get raw milk I’ve been trying to make as many dairy products from scratch as possible. Butter was on my list of things to try. And after reading my SIL’s post about how …

Overnight French Toast Bake

The Letter O projects – owl, octopusfood – octopus hot dog, chocolate covered pretzels, mint chocolate cookies, gingerbread man …

Baked Peanut Butter Oatmeal
We celebrated Christmas as a family yesterday. So I decided to make something new for breakfast. I tried baked peanut butter oatmeal. I got the recipe from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. I’ve never made baked oatmeal before. To be honest it’s very rare that I make oatmeal of any kind at all. But this sounded good. And …
Crockpot Pork and Beans (grain free, dairy free, nut free, egg free, GAPS-legal)
For lunch yesterday we had another new recipe for pork and beans from Cheeseslave. This is a very easy crockpot meal. And it is so good!! All three of us loved it. Although Abram wasn’t too happy about me eating so many beans. He’s not a happy camper right now. I guess I won’t be eating …
