Our Diets: They are a Changin’
Our diet is constantly changing. We find out that we are sensitive to something (corn) or that something isn’t as healthful as we thought, and we change it. We thought we’d start the new year by doing the GAPS diet, but as it turns out, we might just ease into that instead of going cold-turkey … Read more
Matzoh Ball Soup
Twig thought it couldn’t be done. He refused to even entertain the idea for the three years we have been gluten-free. And, seeing as how all of my attempts at Challah have failed, and other blogs are using almond flour to substitute for matzoh meal, I was inclined to agree with him. Still, I kept … Read more
Halloween
Lil Pea designed her pumpkin by drawing on it with a pen for me to “interpret” as I carved. I think it turned out quite cute. Goose carved her own pumpkin this year. We found some Jack Be Littles at a pumpkin stand, that were just the perfect size to work with: The girls and … Read more
(Whole Food) Spooky Snacks
These were super easy to make, and my kids thought they were hilarious instead of really spooky. They’re winners because they actually ate them! See for yourself. I made these snacks in about 10 minutes. The carrots take the longest, but had I done them in assembly-line fashion rather than each individual one at a … Read more
Pub Cheese Appetizer
I love cheese. If you know me personally, you probably know this. It’s hard to know me and not know that I love cheese. It’s one of those things about me that you don’t have to be my BFF to know. Having said that, I have been dairy-free in the past, and while I certainly … Read more
Soft Molasses Cookies
I used to love these cookies before we went gluten-free. I was in the mood to bake cookies today, and thought I would try my hand at them. I found a recipe card that I wrote for soft molasses cookies in 1995, back when I was collecting my very first recipes from library books and … Read more
Kitchen Sink Chocolate
Halloween is my favorite holiday. When I was little, my parents would throw huge parties, complete with “spook” trails through the woods behind our house that would have even the tough guys screaming in terror and hanging onto one another. My favorite was the last one we threw, which ended at the vacant rental house … Read more
(Easy, Gluten-Free) Danishes
After a long, and extremely hot summer, we’re slowly breaking out the leggings, jeans, and sweaters, and turning on the oven for baked goods again once in awhile. This was our first day of (home) school breakfast this year. I modified this recipe to better suit our diet, which worked out well. They were just … Read more
“Instant” Potato Soup
I love playing around with flavors, and love making soup for my family because it is something that all of us enjoy eating. I’ve been lucky enough to find a Frontier co-op in my area, which allows me to buy spices and seasonings in bulk, making it easier to experiment. I have also dehydrated and … Read more
A Snack
This is not rocket science, but I thought I would share, because until a couple of years ago, I had never seen this food pairing, and it is now one of my favorite. I recently found a delicious goat’s milk Gouda at Trader Joe’s, which works great for this because it is creamy and rich … Read more
