What a busy week last week! My daughter loves school and can’t wait to get there in the morning so it’s usually not a problem getting her up and out the door, but it’s definitely an adjustment for me! I haven’t had to do that consistently since she was an infant and I was bringing…
Using Up Leftovers: Making Lemon Curd
Every once in a while I make a recipe, say my favorite gluten-free bread, that uses egg whites and then leaves me with egg yolks to use up. There are lots of ideas of how to use up egg yolks: you can make scrambled eggs, use them to make French toast, add them to meat…
Menu Plan Monday August 19!
School starts today! Part of my job as administrative assistant is that I get loaned to the school administrator where I work so I have been busy over the last week! I loved the zucchini grinders last week (I grated them instead of chopping in hopes that the picky eaters wouldn’t throw a fit, but…
Organizing: One of my favorite things
I have always loved organizing. In fact when I went back to reread my journal for some ideas for my Homeschool Memories posts I found more than one entry that said, “I cleaned my room today. My side of the room is neat and tidy. My sister’s is not.” That was usually the case during…
Menu Plan Monday August 12!
Well this past week didn’t go as well as the week before. I somehow got glutened when I went on a day’s shopping trip and it took 3 days to be able to get past the extreme pain and function again. Still tired, but at least I have some energy again. So I got some…
Handy Kitchen Helper: Pepperplate.com
I fully admit to being behind the times…I don’t own a smart phone! It’s not that I don’t like the technology, it’s just that I prefer to be frugal with my phone bill. Technology peaks my interest and so I was curious about the “apps” that everyone was talking about, but not enough to put…
Menu Plan Monday August 5!
I did it! I got the freezer stocked up with French toast sticks and pancakes and a few blueberry quinoa breakfast bars. The breakfast bars were so amazing that we ate almost half of them! I might have to make another batch so I can share some and have a few more in the freezer….
Menu Plan Monday July 29!
We had a fairly decent week last week foodwise. I think my favorite thing was this coffeecake from Gluten Free Goddess. It truly was one of the best coffeecakes I’ve ever had not even taking into account the whole gluten-free and dairy-free issues. The theme for the GF Menu Swap over at Celiac Family this…
Homeschool Memories: A Greek Chorus Tragedy
We joined a home school club when I entered ninth grade. We met once a month for writing class and I procrastinated in completing my assignments. In addition I remember meeting several others from that group at the county fair where we created a scarecrow together and won first prize. It was organized by someone…
Blackberry Coffee Cake
Coffee cake is in a category all by itself. It’s amazing when you can eat cake for breakfast! It’s delightful for coffee, but you don’t even have to have coffee to enjoy it. This is one of the first things I made for my mom after she found out she couldn’t eat gluten. The first…
