posted on October 2, 2011 by
Can you believe it’s already October? Seriously, where did the time go? I’ve always heard people say that the older you get, the faster time flies by. Is that physical age or mental age? Because I’ve been trying very hard to stay 16 mentally (I’ve recently added hot pink to my repertoire of hair colors) […]

I love this time of year, when all the blood, sweat and tears that go into a beginners’ garden start to pay off…or at least give you the glimmer of hope that yes, you can in fact grow your own fruits and vegetables!

Before I get to my menu plan for the week, I want to share some rather exciting news from Sam’s appointment with his pediatric GI on Friday. We got the first “real” evidence that everything we’ve been doing over the past 5 months (since going to see Dr. Vikki Petersen and the amazing team at […]

I was so busy prepping for our gluten free 4th of July party yesterday, I forgot to post my menu plan! Well, better later than never, I say! 😀 We had a wonderful time and nothing feels better than knowing all the food at the party is 100% gluten free…no risk for cross contamination and […]

Like my new menu plan badge? My very talented friend Alexa from Lexie’s Kitchen designed it for me (thanks Lexie)! If you haven’t yet “met” Alexa, you really should stop by her blog, especially if you are on a gluten free/casein free diet. I have made several of Lexie’s recipes over the past year […]
