What we are eating this week...

I make all our meals Gaps diet friendly for our daughter. We usually have a simple salad with every meal to get our greens and if I have time I like to make some kind of dessert or grain free bread to enjoy. I'll try to post a recipe that is gaps modified sometime. To check out more menus go here.


Chicken, lemon and leek pot pies with salads and Sue Gregg's yogurt pie without the crust made with homemade raw milk yogurt and fresh pineapple

Salmon fillets with whatever veggies I have and coconut muffins

Liver and bacon stir fry (from Eat fat, Lose fat) with a green salad

Veggie quiche with a salad

Ground beef gyros with fruit salad

What we've been doing...

God will take care of you

The words from this old hymn blessed me today. I hope they do the same for you.

Be not dismayed whate'er betide,
God will take care of you;
beneath his wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.


God will take care of you,
through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
when dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.


All you may need he will provide,
God will take care of you;
nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.


No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
lean, weary one, upon his breast,
God will take care of you.

For today May 18, 2009

Outside my window is the last of our lilacs and a squirrel trying to climb a crab apple branch.

I am thinking what a great weekend we had and I can't believe Abby is still sleeping this morning.

I am thankful for my husband who takes such good care of his family.

From the kitchen I'm hoping to get some sauerkraut made today. There will be a chicken roasting in the oven later for dinner tonight.

I am wearing my pjs still! I don't want to go into our room and wake Abby up.

I am creating a peaceful, organized, Christ centered home for my family.

I am going grocery shopping later today. Probably stop at Vitamin Cottage and maybe Sunflower market.

I am reading Created to be his Helpmeet, The Creative Family and James.

I am hoping we can sell all the furniture we bought this weekend for a good price!

I am hearing Abby who is now awake makeing happy sounds and Lucy looking through the pages of one of her books.

Around the house everything is out of order. Out with the old in with the new. I'm hoping everything will be organized by the end of the week. I need to paint and distress a new shelf for Lucy's room Todd bought for a $1 at a garage sale. I need to catch up on the girls laundry. I want to put up a picture wall in our bedroom. I need to water our garden and the flowers I potted last week.

One of my favorite things is spending a peaceful morning with the girls after a busy weekend.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

This was the cutie sitting beside me while I wrote this.

I love...

My new garage sale finds.







Freshly made biscuits in the morning.

My sweet girls.
Have a beautiful spring day!

Anyone wanting to bake with an extremely nutritious flour that is gluten free and doesn't require soaking this would be an awesome cookbook. My daughter is on the Gaps diet and this is almost a must for yummy foods she can have. It's just not in my budget at the moment, so I'm very excited about this!
