Birthday Blog Takeover #2

Ready for the next post?  Here it is from…my mom! Hi, I’m Elise’s mom and have been meaning to represent the family on her blog for a while.  So in honor of her birthday, I decided was coerced to write a guest blog. Elise’s dad and I have been healthy eaters for most of our lives, but there’s always room for improvement.  Since our daughters have all become lactose intolerant and have altered their diets in various ways, it has given me a reason to experiment more in my cooking.  And having a large vegetable garden in the backyard… Read more >

Stevia winner

Sorry for the late night post.  I was busy blowing out my candles (not really).   But I know you guys are on edge waiting to find out who won the stevia, so without further ado…the FOUR random NuNaturals stevia winners are: #49 Shelby – “banana oat bread!” #80 jen – “i am dying to make your pumpkin banana bread with stevia! finally found pumpkin on sale at the store this week so now i can make it happen!” #97 Alice – “pumpkin banana bread. definitely. i’m on a HUGE pumpkin kick right now (who… Read more >

HHH Hijacked

Get ready for…the Birthday Blog Takeover! Turns out, my friends & family have prepared a series of guests posts for me…so I have this entire week off to enjoy my birthday and steer clear of wordpress and live writer.   Aren’t they the best!?! Over the next few days my mom, dad, sisters, girlfriends, and second parents (aka in-laws) will be offering up some awesome posts for you.  I’ve read a couple so far and I was floored.  They are so good, I know you guys will love them. Happy Birthday to me 🙂 Enjoy!

Week notes

I was going to try to do a WIAW post, but I just couldn’t get it together in time.  Or photograph everything.  Here’s some of my “what I ate wednesday week” in bullet points. Monday Coffee.  Duh. My GF loaf is going fast and I still never even showed it’s birth.    Sunbeam and Bob’s Red Mill make bread making pretty effortless.     Unfortunately due to the garbanzo bean flour, my GI system was not very pleased with the final product.  Tasty?  Yes.  Bloating?  Very.  It took a bit of trial and error with other… Read more >
