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

So, I guess I’ve accidentally started … 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
Sunday night was a bad one, y’all. Despite our new Food Protocols, at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday night Mr. Happy found a piece of breakfast sausage on the dining room floor and put it in his mouth. I immediately started swiping, while he gagged and coughed around my finger. … Continue reading
Long before I even became pregnant with Mr. Happy, I started making my own breakfast sausage. By that point, Mr. Charm’s food issues had started our “reading labels” adventure, and I was sort of disgusted by what I found in most breakfast sausages. It was enough to make you go … Continue reading
