No Recipe Shrimp–NaBloPoMo

IMG_4402.jpg

I thought these were decently good, but my husband said they weren’t good enough. So you don’t get the recipe. And this is my post for the day. I’m doing NaBloPoMo again, where you post every day in November. Well, sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to say. Or things you want to say but…

Low-Sugar Chocolate Fudge

Low-Sugar Chocolate Fudge

Most fudge has scads and scads of sugar – usually multiple kinds: confectioner’s sugar, evaporated milk, milk chocolate, brown sugar, granulated sugar… most recipes have at least 2 types. Here’s a refreshingly simple recipe for fudge that only has a bit of honey, instead of tons of sugar. I’ve adapted it from the recipe here….

More Ring Slings–I Love Babywearing!

More Ring Slings–I Love Babywearing!

Who knew? Before I had Anneliese “on the outside” I knew I wanted to give babywearing a go. I’m not sure where I first heard of it… probably somewhere in all of my research into natural/evolutionary diet, breastfeeding, etc. I guess I got sucked into the natural parenting rabbit hole.

Twice Baked Potatoes & Potato Skins – Make & Freeze

Twice Baked Potatoes & Potato Skins – Make & Freeze

I think this is the last “make and freeze” recipe I had saved up from when I was pregnant. We got a huge bag of potatoes and I did various things with them, so they’d be available for quick meals, sides, or snacks when I was going to be occupied with a newborn and too…

BabyBond Nursing Cover–Review and Giveaway

BabyBond Nursing Cover–Review and Giveaway

What Is It? BabyBond is a nursing cover that covers mom, not baby. Instead of being a giant attention-drawing apron/tent, it’s a simple jersey knit sash. It’s made for use with tops that pull down for nursing and would normally leave the top of your breast exposed. My Thoughts: Since I find “real nursing shirts”…

Grain-Free Bacon Drop Biscuits

Grain-Free Bacon Drop Biscuits

If you’ve been reading my blog at all in the last year, you know I love my coconut flour. And you also know I love bacon. So today when I got the hankering to bake something new, and flipped through Cooking with Coconut Flour, as soon as my eyes hit “Bacon Drop Biscuits” I gasped….

Little Pat Pat–Review and Giveaway

Little Pat Pat–Review and Giveaway

What Is It? As a congratulations for the birth of my daughter, Patty of Little Pat Pat sent me some burp cloths and a bib that she lovingly made and customized just for us. My Thoughts: First of all, SO CUTE. We haven’t used the bib yet (or any bib at all) but the burp…
