One of the things I learned on the farm, raising our own chickens, was that farm chicken isn’t easily served up as boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Most of the time, our home-grown chicken was served as whole, roasted chicken. This brought about the need to create different and interesting whole chicken recipes! 🙂 … Read more
We’ve been making this salad since we were on the GAPS Diet (which we started approximately 10 years ago & were on for 3 years!). My kids love this salad. It is a nice dinner addition and quite easy to prepare. This recipe is in my GAPS Meal Plans. Grain-Free Carrot Raisin Salad Author: Brenda … Read more

I wrote my original Extra Chocolatey Chocolate Coconut Flour Cupcakes recipe 6 years ago! Can you believe it!? My family had 3 successful years on the GAPS Diet. Then we went through some big life changes (like saying goodbye to our beloved foster kids of 14 months, etc.) and I dropped the ball on GAPS. … Read more

If you don’t know about GAPS, you’ll want to check out the book: Gut and Psychology … Read more

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 ate these today, yesterday; and I plan to eat them tomorrow, too! I really like these. 🙂
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. :))
Farm Boy 1 (9 years old) helped me make these pancakes. They are so easy, I think he could manage them all on his own!
