As many of you know, Hannah has a food sensitivity to gluten. Sadly for her, that meant for awhile that she didn't get to enjoy baked goods. As I've grown more comfortable experimenting in the kitchen, I've been able to find recipes or adapt them so that they are gluten free. I'm so happy, because a life without muffins is just not quite complete. I love baked goods. Tell me I'm not alone there! Before Hannah's gluten issues, this Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffin recipe was one of … [Read more...]
Recipe: Jonah’s Soup
A couple weeks ago, we had Matthew's Soup for dinner. Jonah wanted a turn to pick as well, so this week we had Jonah's Soup.

The Loyalty of Pawns by Theron Couch. I received a copy of this book for free from a Goodreads giveaway. Last April. I'm trying to do better about reading free books right away. This was one I was catching up on. I wanted to like this book. The description sounded interesting enough that I entered the giveaway for it, after all. But I didn't really like it. The premise is a near-dystopian future in which corporations have just as much, if not more, control of things as the government. … [Read more...]
How To Clean Greasy Residue Off Of Pans
Let me preface this by saying that there are two groups of people who will read this post. First, the people who think this is a great trick and want to try it immediately. Second, those who wonder why I would even care about cleaning the bottoms of my pans in the first place. To you, I say, because they look so pretty when they're nice and clean. You can continue to think I'm crazy. I'm okay with that... I was doing dishes last night, and noticed the bottom of my muffin pans are seriously … [Read more...]
