Today, on the very first day of October, I turned off my air conditioner and opened my windows. There’s a slight chill in the air and I’m breathing it all in deep. It’s really starting to feel like fall here. I spotted several yellow spots on varying trees. I can probably wear [...]
Here begins the 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats for 2012! Remember when I participated last year? Well it’s time again! Hard to believe it’s really twelve weeks until Christmas! I decided to try something new this year. Last year most of my entries for the blog hop were gluten free (the [...]

But this year, in particular, is even more special. Today marks one year since [...] Sometimes, eating gluten free can be so dang expensive. Take crackers for example, a box of Mary’s Gone Crackers costs about $5, and they disappear like nothing else. I’ve been looking for something to eat with my weekly sardine lunch (yes, I eat sardines. I can hear the collective ewww!) For the last [...] Last August I began a change in diet that was meant to heal me of various problems. I cut dairy, gluten, soy, and corn for several weeks, not knowing how I would feel by the end.
