   | I was thinking about dinner for tonight (as we are having guests) and needed to plan a meal that Claire would participate in. It is really important to us,and her food therapist,that she eat as many meals as she can with us. (CLICK HERE to learn more about Oral Defensiveness and SPD.) That [...] Most people I know associate canning with the end of summer,but we did not get our garden in early enough this year and therefore didn’t get to can our summer harvest (which was practically non-existant).

Sorry I didn’t post last week,but we have had two sick kids. But after a lot of elderberry syrup,Quercetin,probiotics,camphor,and humidifier we are on the road to recovery.

Or I should say Bill (from [...] In the last few weeks our garden has really taken off. Right now we have zucchini,tomatoes,basil,onions,garlic,carrots,green beans,and of course eggs (thanks to Cheeky and Sally). So I am trying to make meals that revolve around what we already have here are a few I have come up [...] I really did not have anything planned for the 4th of July,except making homemade quinoa mac-n-cheese for the kids.
