We have been having an amazing day today 🙂 I know I don’t talk about autism much, but it’s worth mentioning: Ashley has been kicking some major autism butt the past few days! I had run out of two of her supplements: Cell Food, and MB12/Folinic/NAC injections. Yes, injections. Don’t worry, she has numbing cream,…
Caesar Dressing (soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free)
I added chia seeds to this dressing, not for flavor (they don’t add any flavor to the dressing), but to thicken it. Chia seeds are phenomenally good for you, and lately I’ve been using them to thicken lots of salad dressings and dips. Chia seeds have: More Omega-3 than Atlantic Salmon More Antioxidants than fresh blueberries…
Packing a Healthy School Lunch with Teriyaki Veggie Cakes
I homeschool my girls, but we often pack a lunch for field trips and park days. Also, Zoe attends a once a week enrichment program offered here in Colorado where she takes foreign language, art, music, drama, and sports. It’s a full day, so I get to make her a lunch to bring. Before I…
Russian Dressing (gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free)
We ate this salad with Russian Dressing tonight for dinner. The salad included carrots, chicken and hemp seeds. Y-U-M. The difference between Russian Dressing and Thousand Island Dressing is mainly eggs. Russian Dressing does not contain eggs. There is, however, a very small amount soy in the dressing because I use Vegenaise Grapeseed Oil in…
Gluten Free Peach Cobbler
I love peaches. Almost as much as I love nectarines. Usually we just eat them whole and raw, but this evening I decided to make a really simple gluten free peach cobbler. I had it all put together and in the oven in probably 15 minutes—it was so easy. I am eating it now, as…
Gluten Free Biscuits, egg free
This morning we had these gluten free biscuits for breakfast with some (no added sugar) blueberry jam. They were just what we were in the mood for and nice and filling because of the beans. I used to think it was unusual to be baking with whole cooked beans, but then I realized that lots…
Pioneer Village, Minden, Nebraska
Yesterday before leaving Kearney and driving home to Longmont, we went to Pioneer Village. It was so great. I’m going to stick to food related photos for this post, with the exception of the first two. I just had to show you a couple of the cars—my favorite part of the museum. How badly do…
Banana Fruit Bread (gluten-free, dairy-free)
I wanted to use up as much of the food in the cabin as possible before we left, so yesterday I made this fruit bread for the drive back. I used my Paleo banana bread recipe for two loaves with a few changes. I only had six eggs, so I omitted two from the recipe….
Lake George to Burlington, gluten-free American Flatbread & Tuba Skinny
Zoe took this one of Andy and me on one of our evening walks by Lake George 🙂 Above: From the same walk. Above: Yesterday in the car. We were feeling a little homesick, so we decided to take a day-trip yesterday to Burlington, VT, which I’ve heard is a lot like Boulder. It is…
Seasonal Bake at Lake George, NY
I had all this great local organic produce, so I decided to bake everything together. It was really easy, and came out so great. I just layered potato, zucchini, and eggplant (sliced about 1/4 inch) until I reached the top of the (greased) pan. I sprinkled each layer with a pinch of sea salt, so…
