Hello there! This week’s update will be short and sweet because: a) only a few things changed, and b) I’m exhausted! 🙂 So here goes: Last week we had success introducing a drop of egg yolk to my oldest son who was previously allergic to egg yolks. Yayyy!!! Talk about a reason to celebrate! This … Read more
I’ve been sitting and thinking on this spaghetti squash recipe for a while. I think it’s time to share it! This is a simple recipe – it’s as easy as combining some extra ingredients with your favorite spaghetti sauce, and adding these ingredients to roasted spaghetti squash. We were eating our spaghetti squash and simply … Read more
Another week has gone by! This post will probably be pretty short, but there is some news so I wanted to go ahead and update. Last week when we left off, we just learned that my oldest son (the one with a severe egg allergy and the main reason we started the GAPS diet) had … Read more
Honestly, I wasn’t even going to update this week. We have been playing it safe with mostly Stage 2/3 foods. Leaving out eggs and nuts. My youngest three children have all passed eggs, raw yolk and scrambled. But we haven’t been really feeding them any because it makes me such a nervous wreck to have … Read more
One of our favorite meals as a family is roast, mixed with mashed potatoes, and my grandma’s special sauerkraut recipe.

Patience is a virtue. All good things come to those who wait. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. He that can have patience can have what he will. The theme of Week 4: you guessed it. I got in a hurry. When we … Read more
Has it been a week already? I can’t tell if it feels like it’s been a few days or a few months. But it is time for an update, so here we go. Week 3 We ended week two in the beginnings of Stage 4 of the Intro diet. We were able to have simmered … Read more
We are just stepping into the wonderful world of grain-free living. I never thought I’d call this world wonderful – yet here we are. To tell you the truth, I LOVE grains. All of ’em. However, my family of six recently started the GAPS diet – so for now, we are living grain-free and using … Read more
