We started school this week, but it was not an easy transition as I am still recuperating from the most crazy, full, over-the-top summer I think we have ever had. It was all good stuff – just absolutely non-stop. Our last big event was our annual trip to Ogunquit, Maine where we stay for free… Read More Highlights from the Summer (i.e Why I am tired)
This was the featured recipe at our farm this week. I was able to get most of the ingredients in my share, so I came straight home and made it for dinner instead of what I had planned, because it sounded so good to me! My boys and I loved it, but Kayla wasn’t thrilled.… Read More Gluten Free Friday

You’re not an evangelical are you? (incredulous) Like George Bush?????Robert: Well, that depends on your definition of evangelical.Organization Member: Oh, you know…..like George Bush…..someone… Read More From the Land of Tolerance and Diversity
Kory had his first game of the 2008 season yesterday, and right before halftime he scored a touchdown! His team was close to the goal, and Kory caught a pass in the end zone! So exciting – lots of cheering – we were so proud!
Kayla and I took our friend Kristen to our beloved Brookfield Farm yesterday. It is a CSA and our 6th or 7th season to have purchased a share there. We get to pick up fresh, organic veggies, fruits, flowers, and herbs from June through November, and we love it! Kristen and I even decided to… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Salsa

Jews refer to the tetragrammaton, (the four letter name of God – YHVH) as “the ineffable name.” The Old Testament Jews would not speak or write… Read More Good Words: Ineffable
This year’s well-checks were anticipated with much anxiety. Last year, Kory fainted while simply listening to the conversation I was having with the nurse over his need for a chicken pox vaccine booster. (Not his first fainting spell.) We, of course, did not go through with the shot because it took a while to calm… Read More Dr. Kenny’s Office – Never a Dull Moment
In those beautiful days of spring and summer, James would lead his daughter to a little arbour from whence could be heard the morning song of the feathered tribes, and from whence could be seen the whole of the garden, enamelled with flowers and sparkling with dew – – the range of vision taking in… Read More My Humble Garden – His Meaning Therein
I first had pesto with my friend Abbie at a local restaurant called Pasta e Basta before I discovered my gluten intolerance. I loved it and was thrilled there was rice pasta to continue to enjoy it with. We typically eat pesto on penne pasta with chicken, but it’s great on grilled chicken, tea sandwiches,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Pesto
The kids and I recently flew to Texas to hang out with my sister and her kids as they transition into a new home and life in Austin. We all LOVE Austin – what a diverse and happenin’ place – from being the birthplace of Whole Food and a bastion of hippie-ness, to rubbing elbows… Read More Transition Time in Texas
