Now that I’ve told you why I decided to cloth diaper and also why I chose gDiapers specifically, I figured I’d give you more than just a glance into the gDiapering world. This post is going to be a quick one, just showing you what makes a “g” a “g.” The front of the gDiaper… Continue Reading

Summer Green Bean Tomato Bacon Salad
So it’s fall now, but I found this photo from when my garden was exploding with tomatoes. This was a very tasty salad! So I figured I’d share, so that next summer you can make it. Or if your tomatoes are still delicious and summery-fresh, you can make it now. Green Bean Tomato Bacon Salad… Continue Reading
gWhiz! – gDiapers 101 – Why I’m a gMum
I knew before I was pregnant that I would want to use cloth diapers on my children. Why? Was it because I want to Save The Earth and be Super Crunchy, Eco-Friendly and Green? Maybe if I were a better person. But if I’m honest, my main motivation is that whole financial prioritization thing. There’s… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu – Make and Freeze
This is another meal that I made while I was pregnant, and froze for post-partum. It was really good the first night, but I venture to say that it was even better after freezing – because in my vacuum-sucked freezer bags, the breading on top got sucked to the chicken, and changed somehow. It was… Continue Reading
Homemade Cloth Baby Wipes
Part of why I cloth diaper my baby is because I’m …cheap? You could say frugal, which maybe sounds nicer… but frugal gives me mental images of reusing coffee filters until they fall apart. The again, cheap doesn’t sound great either… so… we’ll say I’m heavily budgeted. And I’d rather buy delicious food than disposable… Continue Reading
Husband-Approved Cole Slaw
My husband is pretty picky when it comes to cole slaw. He doesn’t like it when it’s too acidic, or when there’s “weird stuff” in it, and pretty much only likes the cole slaw from Kentucky Fried Chicken. But who knows what’s actually in their cole slaw? (I admit, I like it too… but fast… Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway – Tropical Traditions Shredded Coconut
What is it? Guess what I got in the mail a few days ago! If you guessed YET ANOTHER Department of Defense survey (this time addressed to my baby), you’d be right! If you guessed a HUGE tub of organic dried shredded coconut from Tropical Traditions, you’d also be right! There’s nothing but coconut in… Continue Reading
Blog Update About the Blog
Ooh… how meta. So lately I’ve been trying to update some things on the blog. First, I finally got the recipe archive up to date. Then, I quickly outdated it again by posting new recipes (don’t worry – I’ll periodically update the archive). After about a year of using (and loving) Disqus for the comment… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Granola Bars
One of the all-time most popular posts on this blog is the Homemade Granola Bar Recipe. But for over a year now, I’ve been avoiding grains in favor of more nutrient-dense foods. An oat-filled granola bar isn’t going to do me any favors now that I’m grain-free. Enter: The grain-free granola bar. I took my… Continue Reading
Daddy Daughter Reunion
My sweet guy came back from two and a half weeks of training in Florida yesterday. I was very excited to have him back, of course, and I loved seeing him reunite with our little girl. Two weeks isn’t very long to me, but to Anneliese, it was a third of her life! I dressed… Continue Reading
Chicken Broccoli Cheese Bake
This is something I made while I was pregnant to freeze for post-partum. I’m so glad I did! I made one big batch, and put some of it in a casserole dish to eat that night, and froze the rest in those little foil bread tins… a couple sized for enough for me and my… Continue Reading
