It’s been another busy week in our kitchen. I feel somewhat obsessed, like I just can’t get enough of cooking, creating and trying out new recipes. I read about a recipe or want to make something that I would normally buy and it’s like a bookmark is created in my mind and a few days later I find myself making it.

When I started making my list, I realized that yes, I spend A LOT of time cooking.  But I’m grateful for it and it feeds my heart to be creating nourishing food for my family.  Being on the GAPS diet, I am finding that I am in the kitchen even more than I used to because I have to make so many things from scratch.  I still haven’t made the mayo yet, but I don’t miss it because I don’t use it that much in my cooking.

So here’s the run down.  Many of these dishes were made the past week, except for a couple of baked goods.  I’ll start with the soups.
