I've mentioned several times that we eat mostly gluten free due to gluten intolerances. But I don't know that I've laid out exactly what we eat, and why we choose to eat the way that we do. That changes today. In order to tell you how we eat now, we need to start at the beginning. Ten-ish years ago, newly married me knew how to cook just a couple things. I mentioned those at the beginning of this post, but basically, we ate a lot of cereal, sandwiches, and boxed helper meals. As we … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: October 2017
October was kind of a slow reading month for me. I think life just got busy, but also, I wasn't as excited about what I was reading some of the time, which makes it harder to pick up a book.

The Passage by Justin Cronin. I borrowed this massive book from the library after hearing about it in a couple places within a few days. Once was on a podcast, and I think it showed up on some book list article as well? Anyways, the description intrigued me enough that I was willing to overlook the fact that one … [Read more...]
Which Type Of Food Is Best For Me?
Over the past several years, our family has tried several different ways of eating. Some were because of intolerances, like eating mostly gluten free, but a lot were just to try out new methods, get out of a rut, or find some new recipes. We tried eating vegetarian for a month to not only see if we could do it, but also to save some money on our grocery budget by not buying meat. Spoiler: eating vegetarian is pretty easy, except when you go out to the pizza buffet and there's only one … [Read more...]
