Menu Plan Monday: Grain Free under $30!

This week I did online shopping at New Seasons (which, if you haven’t done before and want to try, you can do for free. Mention that I referred you and we’ll both get a free delivery! Very cool). I chose the “store pick-up” option which allows me simply to pull up and wait in the car for my bags to arrive. I was able to shop from the comfort of my laptop,cruise the good deals (in peace and quiet!) and even with the pick up fee of $4.99, I still spent under $30 and I resisted a myriad of impulse purchases (not to mention “Mommy can I PUH-LEEEEEASE get a Lara Bar?”) and saved a lot of time and energy out of my day!

My menu once again this week is grain-free and GAPS. I want to thank the amazing Baden of the GapsGuide blog for her wonderful inspiration on shredding cauliflower and cooking/flavoring it like rice! And Simple Natural Nourishing has an amazing recipe for Roasted Cauliflower which was literally the most amazing cauliflower ever. Oh, and I’m also sneaking in some beef tongue!

Menu Plan Monday: Grain Free under $50!

After another week of grain-free I can honestly say I feel really great! My pants are even feeling looser around the waist! We are doing the GAPS diet for the sake of my daughter, but it’s such a healthy way of eating (and my dear husband could use GAPS too!) that we do it for the whole family. In the spirit of thriftiness, I am putting together menus that are low-cost, and nourishing! Here are some recent thoughts I had about eating no-grain on a budget. This weeks menu cost less than $40 at the cash register, however I did not purchase the meat (I have a stockpile in my freezer that I purchased off the bone in bulk), so I estimate that if you add the cost of the meat, it would be about $50, even if you were to purchase the meat at the store. Read on to see this week’s Grain Free menu! Read the rest of this entry »

GAPS Birthday Party Rundown

GAPS Birthday Party Rundown

A blur of activity and fun, that was my daughter’s 4th birthday party. It came together surprisingly simply; and for that I am very thankful, in spite of my lofty aspirations for it being totally GAPS-friendly and healthy (we are following a modified GAPS diet; my daughter tolerates raw dairy and starchy veggies fine, so some are included here). I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on how to successfully pull off a simple, nourishing birthday party! Read the rest of this entry »

GAPS Menus Plan: Grain-free

As I mentioned in a previous post, we are going back to the GAPS diet for my daughter. Since GAPS is a healthy way of eating anyway, we’re all going to eat GAPS. Thankfully, I’ve had no difficulty finding delicious meals to cook. I’ve been using Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Garden of Eating recipe book as a guide this past few weeks and every single dish I’ve made is absolutely delicious and satiating! And, to boot, I’ve lost 2 pounds!
