The taco salad was delicious from last week! I had forgotten how much I liked mushrooms as a substitute for meat. The salad turned into a wonderful, large pile of veggies! The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over Celiac Family is potatoes. For some reason my daughter has suddenly refused to eat potatoes….
Vacation Memories: Amelia Island continued
Less then a year later we decided to visit Amelia Island again! This time it was for a babymoon–our last vacation while the Princess was still easy to handle! We stayed in the same Bed and Breakfast, but this time we didn’t bike. It was a bit chilly in March, but we still ate our…
Taste Memories: Cranberry Bread
It may seem a little odd to be making cranberry bread in March, but I have a problem. When I see cranberries on sale in November/December it’s always oh my better stock up because they won’t be around long! Later the next year I start wondering why I have so many bags of cranberries floating…
Menu Plan Monday, March 3rd!
I enjoyed the fish chowder from last week a lot! It was, however, a little more liquidy than my husband cared for so I am scrambling to eat up the leftovers all by myself! Another highlight from last week was reworking a favorite recipe for cranberry bread and having it turn out absolutely delicious. I…
Vacation Memories: Amelia Island
There hasn’t been a time when we were married that there wasn’t a depression/recession going on. That being the case we’ve always opted to stay in the same state for our vacations. That could be depressing, but we do live in Florida and therefore staycations and the like are not exactly horrible things when you…
Simple Side Dish: Fruit Salad
Every once in a while, my mom would make a fruit salad to go with dinner. It was always super yummy and when I was wondering what side to fix a few weeks ago I remembered this easily customizable side dish! You can use any fruit you have on hand which makes it good for…
Menu Plan Monday, February 24!
It was a better week this week! The Cauliflower Alfredo was surprising easy and actually a fairly big hit with everyone. We will be enjoying it again! I was so on top of cleaning out the fridge this week that it was almost scary by the weekend. Time to get cooking again! The theme for…
Random Dayspring Memories
I covered the highlights of my Eleventh Grade year in an Epic Year and part 2 of an Epic Year. Some more great stories happened that year which need to be told! Dayspring emphasized self disciple–the act of making yourself do the right thing. By the time we (11th & 12th graders) made it halfway…
Gluten Free “Shake and Bake” Chicken
One day my husband asked if I would make him fried chicken. Now the longer I’m a vegetarian (that eats fish) the less I like to mess with raw meat. However, I dug through some of my old favorite recipes and found this one. It was easily adaptable to be gluten-free and I just used…
Menu Plan Monday, February 17
Last week was rather rough. It was the third week since the Princess got glutened and at the end of the week she got ahold of some gluten AGAIN! So of course we’re looking at another 6 to 8 weeks of not sleeping, tummy troubles, extremely picky eating, carb and sugar cravings that are out…
