Mommy's allergic too...

To Moonsand! Whomever invented the stuff should have two year olds run around their whole house with it! We had a Moonsand disaster on the rug. In case you haven't had the joy of coming into contact with this substance, it's sand with some sort of playdough like, dry, crumbly stuff it's packed in. Jake said "oh no, what appened on da boor?" (his "f"'s tend to come out as b's) Let's just said I was not thrilled to check it out, he pretended he didn't dump it all over. We both knew.....

life.....

As we move on towards Thanksgiving (a very vegan thanksgiving here!) (and also I didn't realize that American thanksgiving is next week..) there is plenty to be Thankful for. But it's been tough. The blog, and other such things in life, have taken a second place to life. My father was recently diagnosed with cancer (in the past few weeks). As we come to terms with this and what it means, they are 1000 miles away in hopes of receiving the best medical care. We are blessed they can do that. but it's hard to be so far away. And frankly eating has been the last thing on my mind. But thanksgiving is coming....  roasted Root veggies and Brussel sprout?  Mashed potatoes? (k, btw my kids hate these?!?!?) maybe a lentil/bean loaf... I really want a stuffing... we shall see... There is truly always much to be Thankful for. Sometimes we need to look for it.

Valentine's Day Sweets and Sweeties...

After an early morning of painting (thanks to a Valentine present of paint)... What does one make for Valentine's Day for a family diverse in it's pickiness and it's allergies? Well, apparently two things. Individual heart apple pies (which will not happen again for a looong time!) AND these, fabulous and easy cookies... Delicious Allergy Free Oatmeal Cutout Cookies Beat: 3/4 cup Earth Balance (or butter) 3/4 cup organic sugar 1t vanilla 1 T ground flax seed mixed with 3 T warm water (the warm helps to make it goopy) (or an egg ) 3 T Rice milk (or alternative) blend in: 2 1/2 cups wheat flour 1 t. baking powder 1/2 t. salt stir in: 1 cup oatmeal Dough will seem very crumbly, use your hands to make a ball. Add a touch more flour or milk if needed. I refrigerated for about an hour, but that's not necessary. If you do, however, it will seem like the dough will not stay together, roll it out, it will.  Roll about 1/4 inch thick. Bake at 375 for about

Update time!! and better mac and cheeze!!!

So, time to make some changes. We have recently had some big time stuff going on (including losing the air conditioner and furnace when it was 90F, and a surgery for a two year old) and we are forced now to stick to a tight budget. Not easy with five kids, a special diet, and life! But i am going to follow through with it here! and also, i updated my mac and cheese recipe! it's creamy, delicious, and full of veggies that you can't tell are in there! The budget change must be instant. The good thing about this mac and cheeze is that it lasts a lot of meals. The rough price breakdown, as written is about $32 for the pot, but for 6 people it lasts AT LEAST 4 meals, so $8 a meal, which is about $1.25 per person per meal. WAY cheaper than the boxed stuff or take out!! Here it goes! Creamy, healthy delicious comfort food that your kids will eat (and you don't need to tell them about the vegetables!). Oh also, my dad ate it..... and that's really all i need to say about that
