I’ve been wanting to make a hummus recipe for Jed for quite a while now. Snack foods that appeal to a toddler are difficult to come by when restricted by Fructose Malabsorption, and hummus seemed like something I might be able to make within his dietary limitations. Sadly, I hit … Continue reading
There’s no fabulous story behind this recipe. I just got bored with the dinners I’ve been making and started throwing things together in the kitchen! It’s a bit of an interesting combination, but in the end it turned out pretty delicious. The grocery store had some gorgeous mushrooms this week, … Continue reading
When I wrote about making my own hand cream out of tallow, I mentioned that my Mom had told me once about “how to clean your oil” but that I didn’t know how to do it at the time. I promised that the next time I made hand cream, I … Continue reading
Cauliflower, oh cauliflower…why did it take me so long to fall in love with you? Sometimes in the kitchen, you discover something cool that is very useful – for one recipe.

Last week we trialed asparagus on Jed. Thanks to the accidental lollipop ingestion the next day, I wasn’t able to get a good “read” on whether asparagus was safe or not. So I decided to try it again this week. I’ve also been seeking out safe bacon for him. I … Continue reading
One of my favorite meals is Pot Roast. At the start of this elimination diet I felt confident I could maintain it because, well, my diet was basically variations of pot roast. At the risk of sounding boastful, I must say that I make an awesome Pot Roast. Really. Ask anyone … Continue reading
One thing I figured out early on in my elimination diet is that I’m basically eating a modified (and greatly limited) Paleo Diet. I’m not convinced that strictly Paleo is the way to go, but I can’t argue that grains (specifically wheat) and sugar are poison for my body! Consequently, … Continue reading
Years ago I found a recipe for something called “Chicken Hash” in a magazine. I never actually made it, but I saved it because it looked really good. With this dual-elimination-diet-thing going on in my house, I’m scrambling like mad to find edible meals to serve my family. (Delicious is … Continue reading
