It’s been a while since I really just wrote about what is happening with the boys, so here’s the latest: Jed is doing well on our Fructose Malabsorption diet, and we’re trialing him on different foods to see how he handles them. So far, we’ve tried coconut shreds, coconut milk, … Continue reading
I had to share this with you! This was dinner for the boys last night: Pretty unremarkable looking, I suppose…until you find out that these quesadillas were made with homemade vegan cheddar that TASTES GOOD!!! I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I cannot. The brilliant mind … Continue reading
Last Friday was an absolutely gorgeous day here: 74 degrees, bright, sunshiny and breezy. It was the Perfect Spring Day; so perfect that I just HAD to take the kids to the park! You know when you were a kid and the playground was this bizarre world of social rules … Continue reading
