Let’s Get Ready…

May 13th, 2011 · 21 Comments · Frugality, Green Living

I’ve hinted around at what you’ll be seeing the last few weeks of May, and although I do still have a soaked buckwheat (gluten-free) pancakes recipe that I’ll share with you someday (I’ll never quite be finished with the gluten-free/grain-free series I worked on this month), today I want to get you ready for the [...]

Keeping it simple can keep everyone happy. My philosophy with my kids on many things, like movies, treats, outings, video games, and more has always been, “Don’t tell them what they’re missing and I don’t have to be the big meanie.” This is harder to accomplish as they get older, but I’ve tried as much [...]

Recipe Connection: Grain-Free Apple Flax Muffins

May 10th, 2011 · 30 Comments · Recipes

We threw my sister-in-law a real curveball, coming to visit during Lent when our entire family was grain-free. I’m pretty sure she had a spectacular menu all planned out when I dropped the email bomb about, “By the way, we gave up grains for Lent, and it’s not just a sacrifice thing, but we have [...]
