So let’s get one thing straight: I have a tiny confession to make. Prior to this week, I had never eaten meringue cookies. Not even meringue pie. So. . . when I was searching around the interwebs for something to do with my leftover egg whites, and came across meringue cookies, I decided to give … Read more
Yep, guacamole. We eat it every single day. It makes any mediocre soup instantly amazing. The perfect veggie dip. Goes great with scrambled eggs. You can add so many healthy things to it and the flavor can be mellow or bold, depending on what mood you’re in. Avocados Rock. According to Dr. Mercola, they are: … Read more
All my life. . . I never knew. It something our ancestors had ahold of, but I honestly never knew about this until I started the GAPS diet. And I think it’s genius. So let me inform you: there is a free side dish – more like a condiment – that comes with the meat … Read more
Again, I wasn’t even going to update this week, but I realized, in retrospect it was a pretty big week on the GAPS intro diet. I’ll try to update quickly for those that are interested in our healing travels. (Travails?) Last week, we left off with: my oldest son eating a drop of raw egg … Read more
I kind of feel like a kid in a candy store right now. I might have forgotten what candy tastes like, to be honest. I haven’t had any in two months. But I used to love those little butterscotch hard candies – you know the ones? Mmmm. And here’s another thing I love: coffee. I … Read more
Hey hey. I’ve decided to start sharing some of our family’s favorite GAPS recipes. These recipes will almost always be quick and simple, because hey – GAPS meals already take long enough.

Yayyy!!! Talk about a reason to celebrate! This … Read more
Another week has gone by! This post will probably be pretty short, but there is some news so I wanted to go ahead and update. Last week when we left off, we just learned that my oldest son (the one with a severe egg allergy and the main reason we started the GAPS diet) had … Read more
Honestly, I wasn’t even going to update this week. We have been playing it safe with mostly Stage 2/3 foods. Leaving out eggs and nuts. My youngest three children have all passed eggs, raw yolk and scrambled. But we haven’t been really feeding them any because it makes me such a nervous wreck to have … Read more
One of our favorite meals as a family is roast, mixed with mashed potatoes, and my grandma’s special sauerkraut recipe. We’re on the GAPS diet for now, which is a healing diet that limits sugar, grains, and starchy vegetables which = no potatoes. 🙁 Not even sweet potatoes. While that is a bummer, when life … Read more
