I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.
I believe in breastfeeding, natural childbirthing, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting.
Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.
So Olivia and I are cutting back on gluten again. It appears we may not need to be completely gluten-free, but we definitely need to be consuming less of it. And I had just perfected my wheat pizza crust, too. {Pout} But tonight, I was motivated to try my hand at a gluten-free crust again. [...]

Here is Part Three of my three part series on the gluten-free lifestyle. Part One (Where to Start) is here and Part Two (How Meals Will Change) is here. I know I said I’d have more on gluten-free oatmeal in this part, but as an afterthought, I didn’t think it belonged in this series. It [...]

This is Part Two of a three part series. See Part One here. When we went gluten-free, I began to realize how unbalanced our dinners had become. Chicken pot pie, for example, was mostly a cream sauce and crust (both have gluten), with a little bit of chicken and vegetables thrown in. Chicken and dumplings… [...]

This is Part One of a three part series. Simply because it became impossibly long. —————————————————————————– So you suspect, or have been told, that gluten is doing you more harm than good. And now you have to avoid it. Luckily for you, gluten-free products are finally becoming mainstream. However, they are likely to be very [...]

During my Gluten-Free Year, I learned some tricks to make life easier. One of them was how to cheaply replace bread crumbs. I know a lot of gluten-free mommas just save the crumbs from their gluten-free bread, which makes a lot of sense and is FREE. But I didn’t have the right equipment for most [...]

Olivia and I have been gluten-free for a year. I wrote about the reason here. Sunday, I sporadically decided it was time for an in depth experiment to see if it was still a necessary diet. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was sitting in O’Charley’s buttering unslicably soft rolls for Levi and [...]

Rice cakes are the new bread. Cheap, easy, fast, and they keep longer than gluten free bread. I knew rice cakes were good with peanut butter. And I knew they were good with jelly. One day, I just put the two, or rather, three, together. It’s not rocket science. __________________________ What’s your favorite gluten-free adaptation/recipe? [...]
