On Sunday I roasted a chicken. I love having all the leftover meat to use in other meals. I had planned to make chicken nuggets this week. I usually use boneless skinless chicken breasts for that. Cut them, bread them, fry them. But when I deboned my chicken this week I had very limited time …
Broth or Stock…There’s A Difference?
I’ve been making homemade chicken and beef broth for a while now. It’s very easy and so good for you. It’s the foundation of GAPS, so I eat it a lot. But after doing a little reading yesterday I realized that broth and stock are not the same. And they have different functions. I generally …
The Letter C
This week I added on some Bible memory work. We try to do Bible story time every Monday (at a minimum). And now we’re working on memorizing a passage. We are currently working on Psalm 100. This week Rebecca learned the first verse. We also started MOPS. Rebecca will be in a class there and …
Meal Plans Week of 9-25-11
Is it really the end of September and the start of fall? It sure has been a busy month. Although last week I intentionally cut back a bit and didn’t do too much in the kitchen. So glad late summer produce preservation has slowed down. I still have to do applesauce at some point, but …
Easy GAPS Snack Ideas
At the beginning of the month I said I wanted to make a snack list so that I wouldn’t run out of ideas (meals are easy…snacks are tough). It seems I’m always wondering what to eat between meals when I just need a little something. So here are some GAPS legal snacks. I can’t eat all of …

The Letter A
As part of Rebecca’s homeschool preschool this year we’re working on a new letter each week and basing a lot of our activities on that letter. So I thought I’d start making a post for each letter as a way to remember what we did/look back if we need ideas to review letters. I’ll try to …
Stuffed Squash (egg free, dairy free, grain free, GAPS-legal)
Last night for dinner I made stuffed squash. This isn’t totally a new recipe. I made stuffed squash before (and it was awesome!). But I made a grain free version yesterday. So I figured I’d do a new post for it. Same concept, though. Just bake the squash and stuff it with what you like, …
Meal Plans Week of 9-18-11
Over half way through September already? Wait, slow down 😛 I guess it means we’re keeping busy. Last week we did our family GAPS challenge. I was glad I was able to come up with a full GAPS menu so easily. And nobody starved and nobody complained about the food 🙂 I have yet to …
Ketchup
We eat quite a bit of ketchup. I was making fermented ketchup for a while. Then I got out of the habit when I got pregnant and couldn’t handle anything fermented. Recently I saw a recipe for fermented ketchup on Nourished and Nurtured and thought I should get back into the habit and give a new recipe a try. So …
