Paleo meringue cookies- peppermint and pumpkin spice
This week I rediscovered meringue cookies, this time made with honey or maple syrup as a sweetener! I made fall and winter themed flavors: peppermint and pumpkin spice. I like the peppermint ones better, but I’ve always been a HUGE peppermint fan! These cookies are fairly straightforward to make, but […]
Upside-down pineapple sweet potatoes
I just made a fantastic side dish! It is an almost salty-sweet dish that includes pineapple, sweet potato, and coconut sugar (or brown sugar if you eat regular sugar). I found the recipe at the following link, and below that I have posted a picture and then the recipe. https://www.food.com/recipe/upside-down-pineapple-sweet-potatoes-339236 […]
Publix health 3
Today we went to the grocery store (Publix) and got flu and tetanus shots while we did our grocery shopping! We got there only a little after 9AM when they opened, but there were already 4 people ahead of us in line. Luckily we had to do some grocery shopping […]
Vegan veggie lasagna
A friend of mine told me about gluten free no-boil lasagna noodles, and this week Publix had them on sale for half off! So I bought two packages! Brad is gluten free and also can’t tolerate dairy. I found this recipe for vegan veggie lasagna: https://www.food.com/recipe/vegan-veggie-lasagna-115553 It is FANTASTIC!!!!! The […]

Retrieve check-in 6
I’ve been very slowly working towards the retrieve with Hestia. I’m learning that I have to take really tiny baby steps! I got her to hold it for one second, then two seconds, then three seconds. Then I thought I could start taking it from her mouth, but every time […]
Then it hits how little I can do 4
Since the pandemic started, I’ve been feeling quite capable and almost normal. I’ve been actually thriving not having to leave the house except for grocery shopping and doctors appointments. I’ve been able to be more social with friends virtually, I’ve been able to get back into cooking, I’ve been doing […]
A niece video from Brad 2
Instead of having a party for our niece’s birthday, we were all asked to make videos for her. Brad loves videography and planning out and directing videos, so this was a task right up his alley! I suggested setting it to a song from Frozen, our niece’s favorite movie, and […]
When Brad is struggling
Last night Brad and I spent two hours filming a video for our niece’s fourth birthday. That was really overdoing it. He pushed through and tried to conserve energy as much as possible, but tonight while warming up some soup, he hit the point of no return. It got to […]
