Happy Tuesday to you.  This morning I made some baby food.  It was pretty simple and only took maybe 10 minutes at max.  I did it between flipping pancakes and Emma gave her taste approval.

I blended 1/4 cup of Strawberry Yogurt and 2 Banana’s up.  Easy as pie.  I wish I could have done 1/8 cup yogurt and used fresh strawberries but I didn’t have any. That is what I would really recommened.  I made about 2 large baby food jars and enough left over for breakfast as well.  Mind you, don’t over blend cause it ends up more like a smoothie.

I also made some Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes. 
Recipe for GF Pancakes
1 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup of cornmeal
Stir constantly;
Add 3/4 cup of milk (we like fresh goats milk ;) )
Stir until smooth.
Stir in;
1/2 cup cooked pumpkin (or blended and cooked butternut squash)
1 TBSP honey or sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 TBSP oil
mix in:
1 cup of Rice Flour (or whole wheat flour if you are not GF)
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Stir until ingrediants are combined.  Cook.

Voila, a lovely and easy breakfast.  I managed to get this on the table by 7am and I was up at 6:15am

 

Since I am in the sharing mood, My sister Braelyn took some Family photo’s over the weekend.  This was a snapshot of one of them.  Isn’t she good? 17 yr old girl.  Love her too!

 

Hubby and I have been looking at the idea of doing vegetarian meals.  We have NOTHING against meat and rather enjoy it but think that the more “green” approach is something to look into, health wise.   It has been a interesting research study.  We also have to stay GF.  That is more important.  So that leaves us with a lot of rice and potatoes.   So I have been trying to expan my horizons.  I would like to stay away from Soy as well.  I have been given some VERY helpful advice and I am looking into a few things.   This will not be a overnight decision and application.   It may be more 1 day all vegetarian dishes for 1 week.  Then moving to 2.  Until we reach the point where we know what we need to eat to get the right calories and protien til where we are satisfied.  It would be so much easier if we lived where we could have crops all year long.  A greenhouse would be lovely but we have no room for one.  Such decisions take massive amounts of planning, researching and putting into practice.

For those that read this blog and are vegetarians, any information is useful and appreciated. Thank you.  :)

Now to end the day,  Emma is learning about tomatoes;
