A funny thing happens when you become a parent. Among other quirks that develop, you suddenly start referring to your children’s age in months. “My child? She’s 24 months.” Never mind that two years ago you would have called that “two years old”. That’s how I’m staring to feel about these GAPS updates. Week 15 … Read more
Yesterday I wrote about an easy way to make acorn squash. Well, next time you make some, make double, and use the rest to make this acorn squash custard! I made this for my 7 year old’s birthday, and we all loved it. This simple and delicious custard is gluten free, paleo, GAPS legal, as … Read more

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
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
