What??? You’re Not Eating THAT??? (Don’t be Overwhelmed by Humongous Dietary Changes)

January 26th, 2012 · 28 Comments · Big Changes, KS lifestyle

This post is sponsored by Plan to Eat. When we decided to go grain-free to see if my husband might have a gluten sensitivity, I admitted here at KS that I was a little nervous, and that I expected some difficulties. I can’t even figure out which post they’re on, but there were some folks [...]

I hope to never pack another box again. We just moved…sort of. 97% of our belongings are in a 10×20′ storage unit, a saga in and of itself, and the rest is tucked into my in-laws’ house where we are living while we search out The Perfect House. My aside: We saw one with a [...]

Recipe Connection: Grain-Free Apple Flax Muffins

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 [...]

May 3rd, 2011 · 66 Comments · KS lifestyle, My Story, Special Situations

When I told my mother-in-law that we would be going without grains for the first half of Lent and remaining gluten-free for the second half, kids included, her response was of concern for our health: “Is that okay? Are they going to lose weight? They’re so skinny already…” Ironic, I thought, that I’m trying to [...]

The greatest challenge of going grain-free isn’t cutting out the bread, exactly. It’s cutting out the bread, pasta, crackers, rolls, rice, AND oatmeal all at once and still having something left to eat beyond scrambled eggs and yogurt! Finding new recipes is always a daunting task for me. I get in my rut and I [...]
