I feel sick to my stomach right now. I had a post all ready to go for this morning, but then this happened and now it’s all I can think about. Yesterday I wanted to finally take the time to try and make quinoa in a way I would like … Continue reading
I’ve become a hunter. A vegetable hunter, that is. I’m on the hunt for a corn-free veggie to trial for Zac. Broccoli was a no-go, and we think it was because of some corny substance on the broccoli. Swiss chard was a no-go, and we aren’t sure if that was … Continue reading
Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. I didn’t quite have my post ready when we realized that the weather predicted more rain and snow, and we were running low enough on a few things that a trip to town was in order. Having to proceed as slowly and carefully … Continue reading
We are still snowed in. Well, actually, we’re ICED in, which is worse. Theoretically, we could leave the house. We couldn’t safely leave until about 11:00 a.m., and we’d have to be back by about 4:00 p.m., or else we’d risk getting caught on icy roads as the temperature re-freezes … Continue reading

You know what irritates me? (Aside from corn, FPIES, fructose malabsorption, and IgE allergies?) When I have one tough pot to clean that requires a steel wool pad, but then the barely used pad sits on my sink and rusts until I throw it away. It’s such a little thing, … Continue reading
Just before Thanksgiving, I discovered this little gem of a recipe on Pinterest. I knew I HAD to make it for Turkey-day! Since I hadn’t ever made it before, I couldn’t share it with you before Thanksgiving, but…bookmark it for next year, folks, ’cause this one is worth adding to … Continue reading
I hate corn. If every corn field in the world were to spontaneously go up in flames, I would abandon my TED and go out on a drinking and partying binge that would put my ’20’s to shame. I’ve written about corn before, but y’all, I don’t think even *I* … Continue reading
Y’all, I really just can’t make this stuff up. So yesterday morning, Jed pitched a fit when I wanted to take off his overnight disposable diaper. Frankly, I get tired of fighting the whims of a toddler 24/7, so when it’s something that doesn’t matter all that much in the … Continue reading
