    Domesticactivist, I am going to check your blog for recipes. I have been reluctant making changes in my diet but I am trying to be more open to Gap, paleo while feeling depressed already mourning the food I will have to bury and forget about.

    Hi, thanks for all the helpful GAPS info you have posted :). Quick question, if you dont mind: I'm vegetarian & would like to do gaps, I am prepared to eat fish to make the boths - do you think fish stock/broth alone could be as effective (altho perhaps take longer) as using meat/chicken offal etc.

    Many thanks!

    I used to dance ballet and I would not be at all surprised if there was flour paste in them. They use a glue solution to soak the tips of the shoes in and form them into the correct shape before hardening, I'm pretty sure. Then they are covered in satin. I bet there is a "making of" video somewhere or maybe you could call the company and ask about how they...

    You go girl!

    We had left-over home-made chili. We just introduced white beans and tomatoes after about 6 months with no nightshades or legumes, so it has been pretty exciting!

    I just got home and smelled fish. Turns out my partner had just eaten sardines. I thought I'd try some and had the whole can, oh, and some fresh strawberries. I don't feel at all like I missed dinner (I did have a stir-fry with duck and broccoli earlier, though)

    It could be the pork, or it could be the crap they cover it with in order to sanitize it. The FDA requires that USDA meat is processed with citric acid, which is mostly derived from corn these days. In Oregon, local meat producers can choose to use ODA standards instead, and use cider vinegar instead of citric acid. It could also be that your butcher has...

    Tonight we had salad with homemade ranch, fauxtatos (mashed cauliflower chock-full of butter), baked asparagus, and baked salmon with dill. I should have taken a picture.

    Hi, I started copying all our blog posts here so that when one was particularly relevant to a thread, I'd be able to link to it rather than basically rewrite the whole thing out in the thread. This was a hassle, since I had to make sure to strip out product links and links back to my blog for each post, plus change it all to bbcode from HTML, but it seemed...

    My partner, Kelsy, wrote this, not me! As Joy and I settled into bed last night at midnight(!), I suddenly jolted awake. We forgot to do the chores! Our poor bunnies were hungry and thirsty and, after losing a chicken to a raccoon last week, we were definitely not leaving the coop open all night. Up we got, me in my bathrobe and Joy in some clothes she...

    Whew! It's only Day 1 and I'm exhausted. First thing this morning, I ran out to Friendly Haven Rise Farm to pick up the soy free/corn free chicken food I ordered. Arriving home around noon and seeing Joy and the kids hard at work cleaning up the kids' rooms, I knew it was up to me to make lunch! I had thrown a chicken in the crockpot (recipe forthcoming)...

    That sounds good to me! Anyway, if you want ideas, all the recipes posted on my blog (linked from my profile) are grain free, soy free, and corn free. We're also free of all starchy vegetables and packaged ingredients.

    Regular table salt has dextrose added to stabilize the iodine, which is an issue if you are avoiding corn. It can have flow agents added as well. We use celtic salt.

    My sweetie made roast duck, salad, and honey glazed carrots with mint. She also made kale chips, but those are for the kids to take to their day camp tomorrow, not for me!

    I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. A lot of time. I think fully half of my personal Facebook posts are food related. One of my friends recently commented, "Do you ever get out of the kitchen?" To which I replied, "Sometimes I go to the bathroom!" I was joking. Kind of. Being a homemaker is my full time job. An apron is my uniform. My job responsibilities...

    Tonight we had a sea food medley (frozen) in a lemony broth with herbs, steamed broccoli, and salad from the garden, with homemade ranch dressing. The kids were still hungry so they ate beef patties, too.

    With all those chickens, we have lots and lots of eggs this time of year. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is in a quick egg salad. This version celebrates Spring with an added kick from garden-fresh radishes. The deal with fresh eggs, is that if you want them boiled, you have to think ahead. If you boil a very fresh egg, you won't be able to peel...

    Pork chops, kale, carrots, and sauerkraut. We had some of last year's blueberries with homemade yogurt and crispy walnuts as a treat before dinner, too. The kale came from the garden and we realized when taking third helpings that there were caterpillars who got fried up with it! We probably ate a few of them, too!

    That's so annoying and it's good you're venting. I do have to say, though... I had an apartment manager/friend/woman in my ward (I was LDS for a while... long story) who took it upon herself to come worry about me, and to this day I believe she saved my life. I was suicidally depressed and had stopped taking care of myself, going to work...

    Going gluten-free is harder than it looks. The pesky stuff is everywhere! Many people who are intolerant or have a wheat allergy can get away with not really worrying about trace amounts of contamination. But if you are going gluten-free because of an autoimmune problem like celiac disease, it's imperative that you get away from even the slightest cross-contamination...

    The GAPS diet is a major change for most people. We get asked how to get started all the time, so we've finally worked out the basics of what you need to do to be ready for success. We were already gluten-free, into cooking from scratch, and all about whole, organic, locally sourced foods when we started. Even so, it was a huge challenge for us! You can...

    Thanks for your explanation. I, too, had wondered about the lack of scientific papers published on the stool tests. I considered doing these tests as they are less invasive, but decided I wouldn't be able to figure out how to best interpret the results and didn't want to spend the money. I got genetic testing done for the kids by [url="http://www.kimballgenetics...

    When you want a little sweet, a little chewy, these macaroons are just the ticket. We got this recipe from our friends at Grain-Free Foodies. We like things a little less sweet than others, so we cut the honey down to 1/4 c. Coconut Macaroons 6 egg whites 1/4 c honey 1.5 T vanilla extract OR 1 T vanilla extract plus 1 t almond extract 3 c shredded...

    I just posted a whole bunch of recipes on my new blog here on this site! It's basically a mirror of the blog I have on our own website. You can see the blog at The Liberated Kitchen, Redux All the recipes are 100% gluten-free and fine for the Full GAPS diet. Some of them are fine for earlier GAPS stages, too, though I haven't tagged them as such yet.
