Some History I remember the first time I missed out on a family outing because of digestive problems. I was eleven. And I was so embarrassed. Two years later I was in a doctor’s office in Oklahoma City because of stomach pains and indigestion. The cause was not pinpointed. Three years after that, the culprit… Continue reading It Was Good For Me (or the day my stomach quit)
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The sweet potato is an amazing food. I've developed a new appreciation for it over the past year. (I hear they can even be made into doughnuts!) Anyway, here is my recipe for oven roasted sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are much stouter than their russet potato cousins. I've found that cutting the sweet potato… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potatoes
No-mato Spaghetti Sauce

So, here is the gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free version!… Continue reading Pancakes II
