My highlights: week 1

I use this blog as a way of chronicling my adventures in parenting more than I set out to.  My little man is much more fun than recipes, though, so why not share the non-food stuff?  I don’t know if I’ll do this every week, but maybe I will?  Here’s the first week of 2014.  Just my everyday life stuffs captured on film in digital pixilation. Now that P is a crawling maniac, he is especially hilarious to spy on with our baby monitor.  He’s all over the place in the crib.  Of course the… Read more >

Nuts and dairy and soy, oh my!

I’m going to gloss over this because I want to update you all (so when I reference dietary things in the future you know why and what is going on) but I don’t necessarily want to discuss the details because it’s my son’s life and I want to respect his privacy.  His blood work revealed several allergies, including peanuts and sesame seeds.

Hope everyone got their sugar fix tonight.  😀

I’m loving how much [free] produce I have access to living in the ‘burbs (slash farm country).  My garden is going bonkers, but I’m also reaping the benefits of others’ prolific gardens.  The peaches were a gift from a former patient’s family.  The lemon cucumber (??) and melon are from Kyle’s work shop’s owner’s fields (along with an unpictured zucchini the size of my leg).  And then there’s the cabbage and peppers that I’m currently fermenting…fingers crossed!   Since we don’t have cable, we are big into Amazon prime and Netflix instant streaming.  Has anyone… Read more >
