Following My Dreams
You know that phrase, “Follow your dream”‘? Well, I’ve officially decided to grab the bull by the horns and pursue a dream I’ve had since elementary school. When I got a poem of mine published in an anthology in fourth grade, I wanted, more than anything, to see my name in print again. For years I […]
Tomato Chutney Recipe- Sugar Free
The last time I went out to eat, it was to a tiny little vegan Indian restaurant. The food there was delicious, and gluten free, and cheap, for a restaurant, anyhow. But no matter how cheap the food was there, cooking from scratch is nearly always cheaper than eating out (assuming you’re making the same dish as […]
Carrot and Celery Crock Pot Risotto Recipe- Dairy Free
My husband doesn’t mind when I make rice, but honestly, he just prefers mushy food. (I stopped asking him to make noodles when he’d always purposely overcook them because he “prefers them that way.”) It probably comes as no surprise to you, then, that my husband, therefore, thinks risotto rice is the best type of […]

In an effort to keep my grocery costs down, I try to make lots of legume dishes, as they’re the cheapest type of protein. But honestly, after a lot of beans and lentils I get bored and like to mix things up a bit so I and my kids don’t get sick of them. This […]

Image source When I posted that my 3.5 month old baby, Anneliese, was in the hospital, someone commented on that post “Is it strange to you that all your babies are hospitalized at least once as newborns, and have pretty poor health (teeth, gluten problems, eczema) for someone so natural and careful?” People jumped on […]
Grocery Shopping Trip, April 24, 2012
Last Tuesday, I got home from the hospital with my daughter, Anneliese. The fridge was nearly bare as I hadn’t gone grocery shopping in two weeks and my family had eaten lots of produce in the two weeks prior. On top of that, our pantry was missing a lot of our basic staples. Tuesday is […]

Gluten Free Brownies Recipe
For those of you on a gluten free diet and looking for good gluten free recipes calling for minimal processed ingredients, I’ll let you in on a little secret- look at Passover recipes, especially ones labeled “non gebrokts” as the first are most of the time gluten free, and the latter are always gluten free.

Things I’ve Learned From My Hospital Stays
Anneliese with her uncle on her last day in the hospital. Doesn’t look sick at all, right? I’ve either been hospitalized or had kids hospitalized 5 times in the past 5 years, 2 after the birth of my older 2 kids, and one time with each of my kids when they were between the ages […]
