Meal Pinning Monday

August 28, 2016

The official September Whole30 starts Labor Day, thank goodness because we are going to my parents for Labor Day weekend... and my people don't do Whole30.  So here's to Jeremy's last week of non Whole30 meals for the next 4 weeks. Then 31 Days starts (October) so who knows what that will bring. Anyone have a topic suggestion they'd like me to ramble on about for a month? [What is Meal...

Stuffed Pistollette Rolls

August 24, 2016

Really I'd love to set a goal to finally finish going through my grandmother's recipes, but goal setting doesn't seem to work.  So let's just not bother.  I did finally tackle one that has been sitting in the stack of recipes, and just mocking me. I've held off on it simply because I was so stick Paleo for so much of this year, but I finally made Nanny's Stuffed Rolls for the boys......

If you follow Whole30, then you probably have noticed the big September Whole30 that's about to go down before the Food Freedom Forever book hits the shelves. I plan on doing another reset and participating in Whole30 in September. Post pregnancy and nursing Emily has had some serious issues with food, as in... cake is my bestie. I had an awesome Whole30 in January and then slowly morphed into the...

Lemon Cheese Layer Cake

August 17, 2016

I finally got to make the next cake for The Southern Cake Series, thanks to sickness for keeping me out of the kitchen for ages.  Luckily I waited until I had a few days at home to start making this one, because it's a doozy of a cake in my opinion. Not that you shouldn't make it, just give yourself time to make it.  Here's my deal with the Southern Living Lemon Cheese Layer Cake,...

Yes, I know it's now Tuesday. Yesterday I wasn't entirely sure it was Monday. It's a case of several days of house arrest due to the flooding down here and not knowing what day it is. We are currently on the 3rd day of school being cancelled due to flooding, our neighborhood didn't flood, but there were several that were evacuated. We have 3 different friends in Denham Springs who have evacuated...

Life Lately

August 10, 2016

Where do I even begin?  Blogger rut much? I think this is all in part to my lovely sickness and the fact that my cake did not get baked. All the sad faces people, every single one of them.  I've gotta figure out what to do with my basil plant, especially since Jeremy is digging up the lack of garden I've got going on. I was thinking pesto, but in my more strict paleo times...

I'm going to go ahead and say I might be able to cook this week, not that I can feel my fingers all that well. Thanks Hand Foot & Mouth Disease. [What is Meal Pinning Monday?] MPM is how I meal plan for our little family. I once spent a lot of time searching the web and my recipe books hunting for new recipes and ideas for what to cook every week. Then, Pinterest came along...

Surviving Adult Hand Food & Mouth

August 3, 2016

There seems to be this tale out there that adults can't get Hand Foot & Mouth Disease, well that's just a lie. I for one have a tendency to pick up "childhood diseases" in adulthood. Well let me share my cautionary tale of HFMD and how I survived the worst pain of my life, it was worse than being in labor, and because there is very little online about adult HFMD and my doctor didn't believe me...
