You know that one understanding where you know that everyone’s life experience/ reflections are different that yours, but, most of the time you don’t think about that too much? “Yes” to this on my end, at least. But, every now and again, I will go into reflection-mode and realize, really, how individual my experience is.ContinueContinue reading “Blah blah blah FOOD INTOLERANCES AREN’T FUN”

Dinner Party. Deconstructed.
One million years ago, when I was young, I went to Australia with thousands of other youths, because the Pope had invited us. I did things there. Saw kangaroos. Ate lamington (U.S. GET ON YOUR SPONGE CAKE/ CHOCOLATE COATING/ COCONUT GAME)/ Weetabix/ Tim Tams (obvi, this is prior to being diagnosed gluten-free). Also, itContinueContinue reading “Dinner Party.

Here are some things I’ve been making
First off: this burger from this blahg. It’s vegetarian and made out of quinoa and eggs and cottage cheese so, really, tell me how to make it more protein-y without stuffing it with steak and stuff. I dare you. And all you meat-eaters can remember this: Fridays in Lent are meat-free anyway. You need someContinueContinue reading “Here are some things I’ve been making”
Four photos: here’s what’s up
I don’t have words at the moment. So, here are images. 🙂 My car’s (THE NEW CAR!!) check engine light came on yesterday and I just about cried…that kind of week, ya’ll. So, I went to adoration instead of crying (all about those healthy choices), and today my dad was like, “the internet says thisContinueContinue reading “Four photos: here’s what’s up”
Carrot cake granola!
Oh friends. And friends and friends. I went. I went on retreat. It was lovely. Sometimes I’ll be somewhere and I’ll realize: this is exactly right. I’m exactly myself, exactly where I need to be. Marytown (the retreat center) is one of those places. Thank you for your prayers while I was away. AND NOWContinueContinue reading “Carrot cake granola!”
Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili
Remember when I was going to post gluten-free recipes on this here blog? And then three hundred years passed and I didn’t? I apologize for that. Now, I have a cousin who started a new food blog. Yay! More recipes. And she even posted one that was meat-free/ gluten-free, so I decided to test itContinueContinue reading “Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili”
Super easy flour-free banana muffins!
Happy 4th of July! Here’s a super quick/ easy recipe for flour-free banana muffins. Found this one on the internet. Thanks, internet! We had extra, browning bananas…which is what inspired me to look for something to make. Also! Tip for those making these for someone with a gluten-intolerance: make sure you use gluten-free oats. MostContinueContinue reading “Super easy flour-free banana muffins!”
(Gluten-free) Double-chocolate Pomegranate Cookies
^This is what you’ll actually be making if you follow this recipe. And they will be delicious. And you might give yourself a sugar rush. I made two kinds of cookies this weekend–both gluten-free. And then I submitted them to a series of taste tests…namely: my work, my sister’s work, and the people at myContinueContinue reading “(Gluten-free) Double-chocolate Pomegranate Cookies”
February!
Yesterday, a Thursday, I lectored. This is standard. What’s not standard is the never-ending beauty in the Bible. So, this: We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another… And I was like,ContinueContinue reading “February!”
Gluten Free Conundrums
There’s a slightly-obscure Catholic New Years tradition where we are randomly assigned a saint to study/ emulate in the new year. I’ve received saints to study over the past few years at my New Years retreat, which is all fun and smiles. Last year (2012) my saint was St. Elmo. I had never heard ofContinueContinue reading “Gluten Free Conundrums”
