It’s getting warmer.. that means many of us will be spending our days outside the house and away from the stove. I’m sharing some fresh ideas for your summer lunches over at MPMK today- come see what I’ll be putting in my lunchbox!  

For the next 6 weeks, I’ll be chronicling my journey through the GAPS Intro Diet with a little self-made questionnaire. What did I eat on Stage 4? With Stage 4, I added olive oil, fresh juice, bread made with almond flour and roasted/grilled meats. Scrambled Eggs in Tallow with Avocado and Sauerkraut (my typical breakfast.) […]

Okay, all you husbands/children out there, here’s the plan for Mother’s Day: Pick one of these recipes. Make it for your mom. Remember your manners and let her take the first bite. Then tell her how awesome she is at her job and hug her for as long as she lets you. 1: Chocolate Covered […]

  Head over to MPMK today for some easy dishes the kids can prepare in the kitchen (with minimal help from Dad). The kids in my house (even the baby!) love helping with the cooking. It can get a little messy, though- I make no promises about them staying clean. 🙂 Forward it to your […]

I started the GAPS Intro Diet today. After all the prep work, I’m finally doing this thing. I wanted to say a few words about why I am starting this GAPS journey, because I kind of feel like a crazy person. I mean, this is crazy, right? To restrict my diet in so many ways, […]

I’m gonna be straight with you. Preparing for GAPS Intro has taken a lot of time and brain power for me. If anyone out there is overwhelmed by the idea of starting this diet, you are not alone! I think I finally have a handle on things, but for a while I felt like I […]

  Are you guys feeling neglected? I know I’ve been doing a lot of work over on Modern Parents Messy Kids lately- it just ended up that a bunch of my posts were happening around the same time of the month. I’m sharing the links for all the salad recipes pictured above over there today, […]
