Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful words of prayer and comfort yesterday. I don’t know how we’d endure if we didn’t have such great support. Today’s post is going to be brief. Yesterday I was much too scattered and bummed to write anything worthwhile, and today, well… By 10:00 am, … Continue reading
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
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

It’s been a big weekend with a lot of changes for our family! Friday morning Darrel announced over breakfast that he was 100% confident that quinoa had proven safe for Zac. Which meant we were ready to move on to the next food trial. Eek! We decided on broccoli, so … Continue reading
When I shared our glorious quinoa pass, I was bombarded with cheery congratulations from tons of people. (Thanks again!) One of those lovely folks, Wendy, shared on my Facebook page that she makes quinoa nuggets for her kids. Her instructions were simple: “Puree cooked quinoa with Real Salt, a little … Continue reading
Today is 7 full days of quinoa, and we are 95% sure that QUINOA IS SAFE FOR ZAC!!!! (Cue the angels singing, the birds chirping, the sun shining, and children laughing.) Or just click here to see how I’m REALLY feeling! Oh, yeah…it feels SO GOOD!! So. By Tuesday night … Continue reading
Yesterday was a busy day, so we didn’t get crackers made until evening. For dinner, Zac got 1/4 c. of cooked quinoa flakes and after that, he got to nibble on crackers before bedtime. I don’t think I can convey the sheer joy and amazement at watching Zac eat last … Continue reading
