What. A. Week. As I said last week, I came home from work on Tuesday full of energy and zest. Two hours later I was wiped out. Then the kids and I all got hit with minor sniffles. I’m guessing environmental allergies is the culprit, as it’s all been runny … Continue reading
Well, I’m still here and still breathing. Work simply exhausts me. I don’t know why, but when I’m on the road I just cannot sleep any more. Once upon a time, I’d go to a nice hotel on a layover and crash out for ten or more hours straight. Now, … Continue reading
Friday marked the two year anniversary of my FPIES TED. I remember waking up on August 8, 2012, excited but apprehensive about the new diet our family was beginning. If you had told me then that two years later I would still only be able to eat 15 foods, I would … Continue reading
For two years, my primary foods have been beef and potatos. I’m quite talented at hamburgers and fries by this point, but on occasion, I want a little variety. Usually I make myself a pot roast or steaks, and switch from fries to mashed potatos or roast potatos. It’s not … Continue reading

Along with hating leaving my kiddos, I dislike leaving my garden. I’ve grown rather fond of it, and really enjoy tending to it daily. When I got home Sunday night/Monday morning, I was too bushed to even consider going to see the garden – even if it hadn’t been night. … Continue reading
This has become one of Zac’s favorite recipes, and I’m pretty fond of it, as well! I never would have guessed that two simple ingredients could yield something so tasty, but it does. These are really yummy! Now, I’ve made theses several times now, always referring to different recipes online … Continue reading
July worked really well for my work schedule, in the end. Even if I hadn’t called out sick, I only would have worked 8 days total. Five of those days, though, started last Wednesday. I didn’t get home until almost 2:00a.m. Sunday night/Monday morning, and I am still exhausted from … Continue reading
I almost don’t even want to write this. I mean, freezing blueberries is totally a no-brainer, right? Well, maybe for a lot of people, it is. But I can remember a time in my life when I was so helpless in the kitchen, that even something as simple as freezing … Continue reading
