Ruby’s “Good, Homemade Fruit Dessert”
Ruby is almost 7, and enjoys doing all things “Mommy.” She loves taking care of baby dolls, pretending our dog is a baby, putting away groceries, organizing, and of course, helping out in the kitchen! She made up this “recipe” for a dessert and wanted to make it. I taught her how to properly use a knife to cut the fruit, and I promised her that I would post her recipe here for all of you. 🙂 You can see Ruby cutting up strawberries here (and you can see the blue color that my hubby has been painting our kitchen, and the lovely green Frog Tape!): The nice thing about…

Salted Rosemary Side Pork
This is side pork. It looks like bacon, but a little fattier. We had our 3 American Guinea Hogs slaughtered a couple of weeks ago, and asked for nitrate free pork products. This was our first time going to this particular butcher shop, we’ve always gone somewhere else where they did a “salt cure” for us instead of a sugar & nitrate cure. We got our meat seller’s license and plan to sell our pork at farmer’s market this summer (YAY!), so we needed to go to an FDA inspected facility. It turns out, there are no FDA approved methods for curing pork without sugar. HELLO, people! Our Food and…

GAPS Blueberry Banana Coffee Cake
We have a ton of blueberries in our freezer, and I’ve been trying to think of ways to use them (summer is coming faster than we think, and my kids and I love blueberry picking in the summer!). The Farmer worked from home today (I love those days!) and I wanted to make a better-than-average breakfast, so I made this up and served it along side some eggs. I hope you enjoy this! We thought it was super yummy!

GAPS Breakfast: Coconut Flour Pumpkin Pancakes
These pancakes are Ah-mazing! I made them a few weeks ago, and this last week, Farm Boy 3 wanted to make them again. See, I’ve been teaching my boys (10, 9, 8 ) how to make meals & giving them a little more freedom in the kitchen. They L-O-V-E it. And I figure, this kind of training is good for all of us! They can learn to cook well, and eventually, I may be free from cooking everysinglemeal. Ok, so I don’t cook everysinglemeal anyways, honestly, The Farmer is a helpful guy ( 🙂 ), but what if I could cook a lot less? Here is my handsome Farm Boy…

Acorn Squash with Apples
When you’re eating grain free, you have to get creative when it comes to lunches. My kids can eat a lot, so I’m also always looking for frugal lunch ideas. Our family loves acorn squash with butter and a little bit of honey in it. One day, I came up with this idea for lunch! It is frugal, too! Each squash costs me about $1.50 to $2.25. The apples cost a little less than $1 for the whole recipe. The shallots are cheap–maybe .25 to .50. The butter is about .75 total. It ends up costing between $6.50 and $8 to feed 6 people ($1.08 to $1.33 each). Or, if…

Squash & Apples for Breakfast {GAPS legal}
Our chickens have cut down on their egg production. Next year, maybe we’ll get more chickens so that even during winter months they’ll meet our family’s needs. For now, it takes getting really creative. What do we eat when we don’t have enough eggs to feed 9 hungry people?? Well, it was one of those (all too frequent) mornings that I came up with THIS delightful breakfast!! Squash and Apples for Breakfast INGREDIENTS 4 c winter squash (like butternut), cut into 1″ cubes 1/2 c butter or ghee or coconut oil 5 apples, cut into 1″ cubes 1/2 c honey 1 tsp ground ginger 2 TB coconut flour METHOD Sauté…
