Life....and a recipe

I love educating, and I have missed it. It has been super crazy around here and I have not had time to write blogs or post recipes. I have made some changes in regards to the computer....and I am only going to allow myself to write/blog on break at work or early in morning when everyone is still asleep.  It’s not fair to take time away from my family(even if 15-20 min) to be on the computer if I don’t have to be, you know?  So, if I don't post daily or write weekly....that is why, my family comes first!

Gluten Free White bread......

So I have been tinkering with different gluten free flours for a gluten free bread.  After some trial and error, by golly I think I got it!

doesn't it look yummy

Have you heard of ISR?

My kids doing the ISR float, last summer.

Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is NOT your average swim lesson, this is survival swimming.

Something that speaks volumes is when your child can accomplish a goal at such a young age and you no longer have to worry.  You know that they will be safe.  If you live around water(we live on the coast of Florida) you know there are pool, beaches, rivers, streams, creeks and all sorts of water.  It is a necessity to learn how to swim…..but not just swim, how to survive if you fall in.  How does a child learn how to survive with no life-jacket if they fall in?  They float and call for help, that's how.  Traditional swim lessons (that we did) don’t teach how to float, they just teach how to swim.   Well swimming gets tiring and they need to rest, enter the ISR float.

Podcast with Farmer Roger

Supporting local is a huge part of what I do, and why I teach.  Helping to support local farmers and business keeps my money local.

In our latest podcast, Melanie and I interviewed Farmer Roger from Green Cedars Farm.  If you have not been to his farm, it is a MUST.  The whole family will enjoy it!

Roger offers many wonderful pastured animals and eggs.  I have tried everything he has offered from eggs, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb and even rabbit, and I am ALWAYS pleased with the high quality!  He is a staple at our local farmers market.   Go say hi and learn a little about REAL FOOD farming!

Enjoy!
