I ate cauliflower tonight–and broccoli last week! I know, that shouldn’t be a big deal, right? But it is for me–I have never liked cauliflower or broccoli. Lots of people ask me how we get our kids to eat so many veggies on GAPS. Almost every morning, they will eat some sort of egg dish … Read more

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:
