Last Saturday we had a double Birthday Party for the boys! Thanks to my sheer awesomeness, I forgot to invite anyone until Thursday night. Yeah, I know. I rock. Consequently, it was a family affair with just my parents, the boys, Darrel and myself. That’s okay, though, because this is … Continue reading
Tuesday evening the kids and I were at the grocery store. Jed was entertaining himself by looking at the candy, which, as I’ve already said, the poor child has no concept of. He doesn’t want to eat any of it, he just likes the pretty colors! He grabbed a Snickers bar … Continue reading
Let’s take a moment to focus on fructose, shall we? I’ve had many comments about Jed’s Fructose Malabsorption, about some of the ingredients I use in my recipes, and just general fructose “confusion” about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. So, I thought I would clarify a few … Continue reading
It’s no secret I have a love/hate relationship with doctors. (See this, this, this, this and this for evidence.) I’d go so far as to say that if you are a doctor I have dealt directly with, there is only about a 5% chance that I have neutral feelings about … Continue reading
I am DYING to eat one of these! OK, so when you take out dairy, and eggs, and butter, and wheat, and sugar, well, you start to wonder if you can ever have a baked good again! After many trials (and lots of errors), I finally tweaked my old, regular … Continue reading
So, remember when I shared my “vegan” creamy chicken soup and said the cream base would probably pop up again? Well, POP! With a few additions, it turned out to be the perfect “cheese” sauce for a vegan Mac ‘n Cheese! So here’s what I did: Once again, you’ll start with … Continue reading
AND So I was looking around for some novel ways to use spaghetti squash recently, and stumbled upon Beard & Bonnet’s Hot Water Cornbread recipe. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, Mama! My southern roots just vibrated with happiness! One thing about FPIES that really ticks me … Continue reading
OK, seriously, y’all. I DO watch my son. I DO make Herculean efforts to keep him from eating stuff he’s not supposed to have. But Zac has an uncanny ability to locate and consume paper that I am just not fast enough to prevent. My dad has started calling him … Continue reading
Well, sort of. See, I’ve never been a terribly PC sort of person. I’m too blunt, too “tell it like it is”. It’s never my intention to hurt anyone; in fact, I view it as a sign of respect to not tip-toe around the truth with “delicate phrasing”. I … Continue reading
…or so says my husband! When I posted the recipe for my quinoa pasta noodles I commented that they went great with my homemade spaghetti sauce. One of the comments on that post requested the recipe for the sauce, so here it is! (This is for you, Katherine!) It’s … Continue reading
