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

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
…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
