Relish
This is a really simple recipe I threw together with miscellany from my fridge, in order to have something “fresh” on our plates. It’s also good to use up a few odd fresh veggies that you have hanging around, and works any time of year, if you are trying to eat seasonally. Relish: makes about … Read more
Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is two years in the making. I’ve tried modifying several recipes to fit out diet, but none have been as good as these. I posted these last June, which were delicious, but not extremely pretty. I think this new recipe is both! Plus? PUMPKIN! These can be made ahead of time too and … Read more
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
Words Fail Me… (and hospitals fail us….)
I honestly don’t know what to title this post. It is with a heavy heart that I have been following the story of a little girl, also diagnosed with PANDAS/PANS and Lyme, named Elizabeth Wray. Elizabeth has been taken from her parents by Boston Children’s Hospital, for their refusal to commit her to a locked … Read more
Why and How- Specifics of Our Diet
I realize I have not ever explained in detail why and how we eat. This is the first post in a series (probably of three) where I talk about food and how it works to help us heal what needs healing, as well as advice on how to start your own journey toward better health … Read more
Substitute teaching
Luckily, substituting ingredients is becoming second nature for me now, but baking still throws me. I’m gaining ground though as I branch out with more alternative flours. I thought I would share some of my successes here about which gluten-free and refined sugar-free substitutes really work! First of all, if you are new to the … Read more
Freeing yourself from the factory
Twig blogging. Three separate but recent events have me thinking about industrialized farming and the lengths to which you have to go to even BEGIN to free yourself from eating the products of that system. I won’t do a full book review, but I’ve been reading Death by Supermarket by Nancy Deville. Essentially, the book … Read more
5 months almost, and what are we eating?
It’s been nearly 5 months since starting this diet, so I thought we were due for an update about how things are going and what we have changed and are still planning to change. First of all, we have seen tremendous improvement in all of our moods. I attribute this less to cutting out the … Read more
One month!
We celebrated our one month mark on Friday, as Twig and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary of marriage and 5 years of dating. It seemed fitting that an anniversary of a healthy change coincided with celebrating our love for one another as well. A lot of people are asking us if we have seen … Read more
Lentil Soup: Take Two!
Lentil soup tonight: our second try at it. It was MUCH better than the first time. It actually tasted much like restaurant soup, to Twig’s amazement and pleasure. He LOVES restaurant soups (probably filled with MSG and the like!) and has found it very hard to duplicate at home. Goose was not so pleased with … Read more
