I finally got up the nerve to try feeding P coconut this week. The first day I only used coconut oil when I fried his eggs. Seemingly no reaction (his chapped face has been giving me false alarms all winter…it’s very stressful). The second day I tried coconut milk in a quinoa porridge. He wasn’t a fan until I added banana and cinnamon, though, so he only ate a little. Again, seemingly nothing. So then I baked these pumpkin muffins! First of all, they were really good. Second of all, he ate… Read more >

The whole shebang of last week in one post. Here goes. Breakfast on Monday was the last of this savory bread and fried eggs.

Which I paired with two fried eggs. Thursday I made steel cut oats in the rice cooker (the crock pot was already occupied) for our whole family. I topped mine with a bunch of non-nut things (aka seeds galore) – including… Read more >

Now that P is a crawling maniac, he is especially hilarious to spy on with our baby monitor. He’s all over the place in the crib. Of course the… Read more >

I meant to make this with a crust, but when I opened this gluten free crust it was covered in mold. Boo! What the heck? I’m going to call this a fluke because I tried this crust before and loved it (minus the mold). But this was definitely a bummer to open. Since it was nap time I couldn’t do anything but go crust-less. [Okay that’s a lie, I could have made my own crust, but I tried that and it didn’t work out. Instead I wound up with pancake like biscuits.] They… Read more >
