Manic depression (Bipolar) and the GAPS diet

This is a continuation of my posts about my healing journey.  If you haven’t read my previous posts, it may be helpful to read them before you read this one, but it’s not completely necessary. Deep in my heart I always knew that life was about being happy.  And yet, it seemed like the most…

GAPS, Paleo and Limited Diet Weekly Menu Planner

What did you eat this week?  I’d love to hear about your meals, and share mine with you! This past week was one of those weeks where I decided pretty much a few hours before dinnertime to decide what to make, but everything turned out yummy (well, in my opinion at least!) My GAPS Weekly…

GAPS, SCD, or Paleo shopping list

Since I’ve been on GAPS, it seems as though shopping has become similar and easier. Even when I am at the health food store, there are so many aisles of foods that we can’t eat.  So I end up zooming past them to get to the things we need from the fresh and bulk sections….

Blueberry Muffin Cake

It’s blueberry season here in Maryland and Elijah, my mom and I ended up going picking this past weekend.  We had a blast picking 8 lbs in less than an hour and Elijah got to eat all he wanted.  The farm we went to was called Frog Eye Farm and they had over 200 blueberry…

Thank you for all who participated in the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Free Give-away!  I really appreciate all of your tweets, posts, ice cream recipes and enthusiasm! It was  a close race and unfortunately I can only give one ice cream maker away.  I eventually had to draw out of a hat because it was…

Free Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Give Away!

I have the people at CSN stores to thank for allowing me to give away this wonderful kitchen appliance.  CSN has more than 200 online stores that sell everything from cookware to childrens’ furniture such as twin beds.

Life before and after the GAPS diet

Okay, so I keep alluding (on Facebook and previous blog posts) to the fact that I am working on a post about my mental breakdowns that I had postpartum.  Mental breakdowns that basically made me into a crazy, rageful, out of control monster for about 5 minutes when ever I would happen to have one….

How to be your own personal chef

I recently received an email from someone asking me if it was possible to cook all of the items on my free sample menu planner in one day.  This is basically what I do when I cook for a client as a personal chef – so yes, it is possible to cook up to 5…
