Last week I gave a progress report for May. Not a whole lot had happened since I planted everything, which was why I hadn’t updated throughout the month. I’d basically decided that a Monthly Update was how this series was going to go. What a difference a week makes! Apparently, … Continue reading
For my next “simple quinoa” recipe, here’s a recent development in my kitchen: Quinoa Banana Pudding. Well, sort of. Kinda. You’ll see. With bananas in our diet now, I thought there had to be a way to make a banana pudding for Zac. He’s past the pureed foods stage, of … Continue reading
For the last 22 months I have been sugar-free. That wasn’t intentional, it was an accidental by-product of the TED I went on for Zac’s FPIES. But still. The only sugars I’ve had this whole time were the ones my body created from the potatos I eat. When bananas became a … Continue reading
Saturday, my baby turned two. TWO, Y’ALL! <sniff> I guess he’s not really a baby any more. <sniff sniff> Anyway… Last week I had to work, and while I was gone I left instructions with my Mom to continue putting the garlic oil in his ears. I’d only been gone … Continue reading
I have a secret. Once I lost so much weight my clothes were falling off of me, I had to buy new clothes. There was just one little problem: Money. We had none. (At least, not for new clothes!) Yet I now have a more expensive, quality wardrobe than I’ve … Continue reading
“Carrie, Carrie, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Quite well, thank you! Despite getting a somewhat late start, things are just popping up all over! The potatos are going nuts! They’re just about to the point where I need to add another board and top them off with some … Continue reading
Last year I shared about Banana Ice Cream. It truly is an awesome little treat, especially for the dairy intolerant/allergic! However, with the addition of goat milk in our diets, I was excited about making ‘real’ ice cream for my family. Only one problem: goat milk doesn’t have as much … Continue reading
Turns out all my angst was for nothing. At least for now. The strawberry trial didn’t happen. Shortly after I shared that post, I gave Zac some fresh strawberries. He refused to even let one touch his lips! It was a straight repeat of the maple syrup trial the night … Continue reading
We had a rough weekend. So we didn’t participate in any fun Memorial Day activities. No cookouts, no picnics, no games. But that’s okay. That’s not what Memorial Day is about, anyway. Memorial Day is about remembering. Remembering the sacrifices made by our military men and women. Remembering what they … Continue reading
You know what I love? Frugal tips that require a one-time commitment. I’m kind of lazy that way. Who wants to be bothered with changing regular behaviors, right? It’s so much easier just to call your cable company and cancel, or change your cell phone bill. Unfortunately, some of the … Continue reading
