Gluten Free Cinnamon Buns & Cheater Style Regular Cinnamon Buns
In case you missed it, Kaylee just turned 9. It has been an exciting time in our lives… right now, my darling 9 year old is only 9 inches shorter than her Mama. There is no doubt that in a few short years time, she will pass me up.
Kaylee and I took a [...]

Poor Man’s Slightly More Nutritious Chocolate Mini Muffins (and other Mini things)
Tonight found me thrashing through the cupboards trying to come up with something to make for the 10 children who will be in my house tomorrow. In case you didn’t already know, kids want to eat CONSTANTLY. I do run a tight ship around here, but I still have to feed breakfast at [...]

Gluten Free Pie
Strawberry Rhubarb pie? Oh, my! Nikki shares her recipe… sub tapioca flour or your favorite gf flour blend and toss it in a gluten free pie crust (we like the rice based crust best) and enjoy! I’ve had great luck tossing in about 1/4 cup tapioca pearls to every pie to help with thickening.
I can’t [...]

Cart Pulling with the St. Bernard Club and Misc. Stuff…
On Saturday we attended a WVSBC event to learn how to cart with our dogs. It was a fun day in the park followed by a picnic lunch with 27 people and 11 St. Bernards.
The kids really enjoyed riding in the cart behind Earthquake. He took right to pulling… which is rare for a [...]

Jumping on the Coupon Band Wagon…
I’m on a mission to save our family some money (and who isn’t?). Previously, I’ve given a half-hearted go at the coupon clipping/sale shopping thing… it has always just been easier to rely on our bi-weekly Costco run, a Whole Foods run once a month and in between runs to Fred Meyer (natural foods has [...]
