I was able to participate in a very FUN “Food Swap” that my friend Bethany put together. People brought all kinds of great homemade stuff to trade. I loved it! If you’re looking for me, I’m the giggly one. I always get like that when I’m on camera. 😉
We went to our library’s story time yesterday, mainly for Farm Princess. When Farm Boys were younger, we’d often go hear the stories, and do the little craft. Yesterday’s craft was based on the letter N–they were all going to make Necklaces, with these:
No photos in this post, sorry. 🙂 I was reading a blog about how to write successful blogs the other day, and the lady suggested that we be REAL in our blogs. Ok, well, this is as real as it gets. Truth be told, I guess I’ve been known for my funny “poop stories” ever since I was a kid. My husband appreciates them. 😉 Why the obsession with poop? Maybe because I knew something was wrong with mine. Maybe it was on my mind because it was happening so often in my day.
I was super excited to accidently come up with this recipe. I came up with another coconut flour brownie recipe last week, and then “messed up” on it this weekend right before having guests over, and was amazed at my mistake. They were SO good! 🙂 If you know me, you know I love me some chocolate, so this is going to become a staple in my home (you know, on the weekly list, like: Make butter, make yogurt, make granola, soak seeds, make brownies). Yup. I love them THAT much. 🙂
I have stocked up on everything we need for 3 months, so I wanted to share what we have on hand. If you’re just starting out with GAPS and wondering what kinds of food to keep in your pantry/fridge/freezer, this list just might help you!
When most people think of losing weight and getting healthier, they think of portion control and tasteless meals. We haven’t done any portion controlling, and our meals have been super yummy! Here’s a snapshot of some of the foods we have eaten over the last year. Many of these recipes can be found in my … Read more
Woah my goodness, I can’t believe I am about to post these photos…but they’re real. This was me a year ago. Jan 4th was our 1 year anniversary of starting the GAPS Diet. These photos don’t even show the incredible difference this diet has made on our health…this is simply my weight….brace yourself…..
Tonight’s recipe “mistake” turned into an amazing dinner! This takes a bit of prep work in the morning, but if you know you’re going to be busy in the afternoon/evening but have time in the morning & you want a great dinner–this is it!
Since we’re shopping for 3 months, we’re eating up the fresh arugula we bought from a local farmer and enjoying it while it lasts! I found this dressing on Food Network, and then I added two extra ingredients into our salad: dried cranberries (I found local ones sweetened with honey, YUM. If you can’t find them, dry your own! :)) and roasted, salted pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds.
I promised I’d share another New Year’s resolution today, so here it is: I’m on my 4th day of NO SHOPPING for 3 months! Yes, that’s right, THREE MONTHS! I mean no shopping whatsoever.
No:
grocery shopping
online shopping
clothes shopping
misc. shopping
none. nada. zilch!
