New Year’s Resolutions
Maybe the GAPS Diet is too big of a resolution? Here are some suggestions for little resolutions you can make to improve your diet and health:
Baking with Kids
The 23rd was a baking day for me, as we were preparing for Christmas celebrations. Since we’re on the GAPS diet and we don’t eat any refined flours or sugars, we had to make all of our own goodies. No big deal, I like baking. 🙂 What I don’t like is having all of the kids crowd around the counter, complaining about who gets to dump in the vanilla and who gets to lick the honey spoon. I’ve been baking with my kids ever since they were old enough to have their high chair scooted next to me in the kitchen (with measuring cups in hand!), and have wondered how to deal with this dilemma. This year, I came up with a solution!
Sugar = Arthritis Pain
I always post about when we “cheat” on the diet, but well, I just want to share because this diet is so amazing and we feel good so much of the time–so the times we don’t feel good really stand out.
Merry Christmas & What to Cook! :)
Today is “baking day” at my home. When we started GAPS a year ago, I’m sure I probably thought that a “baking day” would be non-existent in the future. What can you possibly bake on a grain-free, sugar-free, starch-free diet? Well, let me share what I’ll be baking!
GAPS Legal Chocolate Honey Cake
We got 20 eggs today (WOO HOO!), so I figured I had enough to bake a CAKE! 🙂
This is yummy, but if you’re a chocoholic, stay tuned for when I perfect the flourless chocolate cake I’m working on (it’s even MORE chocolatey). This is like a regular chocolate cake–not quite as rich or chocolatey as a flourless cake or a truffle or brownies. Ya know what I mean? 🙂 But it’s easy, and yummy, and it isn’t too rich for guests who aren’t chocolate-crazy like normal people me. 🙂
GAPS Legal Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Tomato Soup!
If you attended public school and ate in the cafeteria (or if your mother made this when you were young), you might just miss grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Well, we’re strict GAPS/SCD eaters around here, and yet, we were able to eat this meal tonight! Want my secrets? Ok, I’ll share! 🙂
Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Clusters
Tonight I made up the yummiest treat ever. It’s totally healthy, GAPS legal, and super easy!
It all begins in the gut, but it may not be your fault
This is Part 2 of “It All Begins in the Gut.†I’ve been thinking about this subject, and I wanted to clarify some things. I don’t want to give the impression that if you’re sick, it’s only because of something you did.
It all begins in the gut, but not necessarily yours…
