A while back I made a dessert called pumpkin cheese pie. It was pretty simple. Mostly buy a few things, mix them and bake them. I decided to make it again for Thanksgiving this year…but revamp it to make it a lot healthier. My husband says I should call it pumpkin cheesecake to sound a …
Everything Salmon (grain free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, GAPS-legal)
On Rachael Ray recently I saw her make a recipe called everything salmon. It’s a play on an everything bagel…same flavors, different medium. It sounded good, so I made it for dinner last night. It was super simple. And Justin and I both really liked it. Rebecca wouldn’t eat it…”it’s too spicy!” For her spice …
The Letter K
This week was a bit chaotic. And we didn’t have much time for projects…or picture taking. We did do quite a bit of work with workbooks, tracing, writing, connect the dots, stickers, etc. That was our main focus. Other than that we didn’t do a whole lot with the letter K. But we did talk a …
Meal Plans Week of 11-20-11
Happy Thanksgiving! (a few days early:). The holidays are here…and I’m not ready. I have barely even started thinking about Christmas (makes me nervous when I hear about others that almost have their shopping done!). My focus is on Thanksgiving first. Especially since I’m hosting. So that’s what this week is all about…cooking, cleaning, baking…prep for …
The Letter J
This week we did the letter J. We talked a lot about Jesus. And we finally gave Rebecca a Job! She is going to be our duster. She really enjoyed getting to put some pennies in her piggy bank yesterday. Not much time to post since Abram was up at 6 and Rebecca is up …
Meal Plans Week of 11-13-11
Mid November already. And it finally feels like it. We had our first snow last week. I don’t think I’m ready for that yet. Although I don’t think I’m ever ready for snow 😛 Rebecca sure was excited. We had a fun, but interesting week last week. Justin was out of town two days, which always …
Rolls
We are having some guests over tonight. So I asked Justin what kind of bread he wanted with the meal (I let him choose since I can’t eat it anyway). He chose rolls. I decided to make my mom’s recipe. So easy. And SO good. I haven’t made them in a long time. But every …
Avocado Bird’s Nest (grain free, dairy free, nut free, GAPS-legal)
I’ve been watching The Next Iron Chef on Food Network. And on this week’s episode someone made a bird’s nest using avocado. I’ve seen it done with bread, zucchini, various things. But never avocado. I thought it sounded like a neat idea since one of my absolute favorite things to eat with egg is avocado. …
Creme Caramel (grain free, dairy free, nut free, GAPS-legal)
Last night I tried another GAPS book recipe. It’s another single serving, nourishing dessert. This one does require baking, so you have to plan ahead. But the preparation takes about 30 seconds. This creme caramel turned out well. It’s kind of custard-like in the middle. Slightly sweet. I enjoyed it. And it was good to get …
Russian Custard (grain free, dairy free, nut free, GAPS-legal)
I often read through the recipes in the GAPS book. There really aren’t many. And I don’t know that I’ve actually made any of them aside from the ferments and cultured products. But there are a couple simple recipes I’ve been wanting to try. I finally got around to one of them last night…Russian custard. …
