I wanted to make GAPS legal stir fry. It’s an easy dinner, quick, and it would be amazing to have this perfected when summer veggies show their faces! 🙂 This isn’t going to be a recipe, but more of a list. How do you measure stir fry ingredients? Seriously. 🙂 My family … Read more
This is a fast and easy dinner/breakfast that I made up and we ate this evening. It’s a way to make eggs go further when you don’t have enough to feed your family. My family (of 6) can easily eat 15 eggs. Yes, we’re big egg eaters. Our chickens are only producing about 9 eggs … Read more
Rice isn’t on the GAPS diet, so we don’t usually eat it, but we did today. We had a potluck at church–and making large quantities of GAPS friendly foods is expensive, so we went with rice today. A friend told me that brown rice digests like a protein. Can anyone confirm that? I would love … Read more
I first have to apologize that I’m not doing a very good job at capturing photos of our food! Our evenings have been busy and it always seems like we’re getting dinner started later than we hoped, and we’re all *STARVING*…You know what I mean. Anyways, I think about taking a picture about 1/2 way … Read more
I love quiche. I know, we eat eggs for breakfast, don’t I get tired of this many eggs? Well, no. 🙂 Quiche is more about the other ingredients, and less about the eggs for me. It’s all good together though. It’s a great way to use up leftover meat and veggies. Besides, we have a lot of eggs popping out of our beautiful free-ranging chickens these days! (Serioulsy, we have like 5 dozen extra per week–anyone who lives near us want to come buy some? :))
This meal doesn’t look very pretty, but it was very, very good. We have a hook over our fireplace for cooking with a cast iron pot. It swings out, and so the pot really sits kind of beside the fire rather than right over it, but it works well.
I’ve been writing out menu plans every week, but last week I was not on top of getting things defrosted when I needed to. SO, since we still needed to eat, I had to come up with some impromptu, easy-to-defrost-and-cook-quickly meals. 🙂 I came up with this dinner idea, and my family LOVED it. We will certainly be making this again! (Well, The Farmer and I LOVED the mushroom burger part of it. The kids loved the cheeseburger part of it. :))
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.
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!
