This morning I made breakfast cake! And it came out quite yummy! No bells and whistles but a good easy addition to breakfast! 1/2 cup Oil (any kind you feel is healthiest) 3 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup apple sauce 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp [...]

See our new toy! Here is Jacob revving it up. It sounds like a jet engine getting ready for take off. We have been saving for a milk separator for quite some time and we were so excited when it arrived! I have been skimming cream by hand and decided that the luxury of a [...]

Today … it is Willy! My kids love to cook. Most of the time I love to have them help! I will admit sometimes, I wish I could just fly solo and get things done in less time and with less mess. But then I think of all the things that can be learned AND [...]

What do you have for breakfast? My children keep telling me they are bored with breakfast, I do not blame them! But what else is there? What do you do to make your breakfast more exciting? We usually have eggs, eggs in every sort of way … fried eggs on toast, scrambled, omelets with ham [...]

My daughters have been in the kitchen this week. They made Onigiri (rice balls). These are really easy and a very tasty side dish. We used some pink salmon which we sauteed in a little  salt and topped with plum sauce. The girls had fun making them into shapes. They started with the traditional triangle [...]

Strawberry season has begun and oh boy it is sweet. We have plans to make lots of jam and freeze some for future use and to just eat some because they are just so yummy!!! What do you like to make with fresh strawberries?

YES! These brownies are gluten free. Two weeks ago I messed up and gave my little Sam a couple of mini cookies that were not gluten free. I take complete responsibility … I am not sure where my head was but it happened. It was Jacob who said: “Mom are those cookies gluten free?” and [...]

This morning I announced to the kids that we will all help prepare and can some carrots! There was a good deal on big, big bags of organic carrots, so I bought one and now there is no way we will eat them all before they go bad so we need to can them. Canning [...]

In my opinion breakfast is one of the boring-est meals of the day. Maybe it is just me but pancakes, waffles (which really are the same thing), eggs, toast, cereal (hot or cold), fruit, and maybe bacon/sausage. Okay now take out the gluten filled items and you are left with a much smaller menu.  Needless [...]

I have not had a chance to write much about my little guy and his Gluten adventures. The bottom line is that it gluten and Sam just do not mix. Looking back Sam has had issues since he first started eating and here it is two years later and I am figuring out what they [...]
