GLUTEN-FREE FLAX PIZZAS AGAIN!

Shalom! I have decided this is my favorite pizza crust for my Diabetic, Low-Carb, Real Food diet. It is SOOO delectable that my hubby (non-low-carb) enjoys it as much as I do and I have to fight him for it. The crust is supple yet sturdy (holds up to toppings and cheese). The flavor is [...]

SUNDAY – REAL FOODS ON A DIME 5

Shalom Y’all, OK, so we’re outta milk and about everything else! LOL!

It’s not easy to share [...]

FRIDAY – Bagels and Benjamin

Shalom Y’all, Today I canceled our Ladies’ Bible study due to the weather, but one sweet lady and her daughter didn’t get the message, so they showed up on time. It was a blessing though as she was able to confide something on her heart and ask for prayer. She would not have done that [...]

The Great Campout (Part 1)

Shalom Y’all! I’m writing this on New Year’s Eve – 2008 (December 31, 2007) What are y’all doing tonight? Well, we are going CAMPING. Yup, that’s what we’re doing, in the middle of Winter. Actually, it’s something that I came up with the other day just to have some fun (and if you have “Cabin [...]

Batch-Cooking Green Pizzas for the Freezer

Shalom! Our 12 year old son wants to learn how to play guitar. The guitar teacher is a lovely single woman who doesn’t have time to cook for herself. So, we bartered for half of the teaching fee. Every week I bake Cary something wonderful! This week, it was small whole wheat, spinach, herb and [...]
