Have Your Cake and Loose Weight 2

I run into so many mammas that are looking to lose the weight they put on during pregnancy. These moms are so frustrated trying to lose weight that they can not get rid of. They try just about everything: count calories, cut out fat, eat more salad (you know all the things that “they” tell us to do). And, still the weight just sort of hangs around. It can be so discouraging for a mama who just wants to look and feel her best so that she can chase around those cute little boogers that she has.

Can you relate?

Danelle Wolford wanted to lose weight. She attempted to do it the drastic way by attempting a 30 day juice cleanse and then transitioned to a plant-based diet in order to lose the weight her body wouldn’t let go of. After a year on the plant-based diet she lost a little bit of weight, but still felt horrible. She moved away from the diet, started eating butter and started loosing weight!

Summer Squash, Sausage and Chard Flatbread Recipe {Gluten and Grain Free}

I am always trying to come up with creative ways to feed my family.  There are five of us. Three of us are under the age of 5.  Although we have conquered much of our picky eating I do not have kids that will eat everything.

Let the truth be told that even though I claim to be a foodie, and I love to feed my family unprocessed and nourishing food.  I HATE MEAL PLANNING.  Actually, hate is really not a strong enough word.  I dislike meal planning and only enjoy cooking when everyone wants to eat it. (Isn’t that true for everyone?) [Read more…]

An Easy Way to Test Yourself for Food Allergies

by taking a pulse

Avoid Expensive Food Sensitivity Tests and Test Yourself in Minutes

School is beginning again next week and my children’s preschool prohibits packing any kind of nuts in their school lunch.  This is challenging for me since I like to include nuts into our diet.  I can not even include baked goods with almond flour in their lunch, which I do cook with on occasion.  My children don’t have any food allergies that we know of, but it is no secret that a raising number of children and adults in the US today do have food allergies, very severe allergies.  And, many nut allergies can be scary since they lead to anaphylaxis.    Testing for food allergies can be expensive.  If not expensive for your pocket book, they may be expensive for your insurance company which will in tern increase your costs.

Soaked Oatmeal Blueberry Cakes {Gluten Free}

Soaked Blueberry Muffins

We had a very wet summer up here in the mountains.  It was so wet that blueberry season was very short and those yummy berries began to rot on the trees.  It was a sad day to find out that those tasty berries were just turning into a mushy, decaying mess.

Before the berries began rotting, we did some picking and I did get to make some lovely fresh berry treats.  Fresh berries are just one of those glorious bounties of summer.  We still have tons of blueberries to spare hiding in the freezer, but the fresh ones taste so amazing.  I was hoping that they would last into at least part of the winter, but I don’t know if we will have any left even into part of the fall.  My children love blueberries and have been eating them by the handfuls since we had our first pick on July 4th.  We may just have to make picking on the 4th a regular family tradition.
