This weekend my mother-in-law and sibs-in-law swung by for a quick visit. They left our fridge and freezer fairly bursting with food (you think I’m exaggerating, but no. I‘m afraid of losing a toe to falling meat whenever I open the freezer).
Aren’t parents great? We’re thankful for ours.
They dropped off two gallons of raw milk and half a gallon of cream, so I’m focusing on putting those to good use this week. Many of you probably know that I’ve been going dairy-free to help cure my breastfeeding infant’s eczema. I wonder if the raw milk will effect him the same as conventional store bought milk.
On the Menu:
Breakfast
- Soaked Oatmeal Porridge
- Whole Grain Waffles, Homemade Beef Sausage & Orange Juice (our weekend morning tradition)
- Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes
- Green Smoothies & Beef Sausage
- Bagels & Cream Cheese (Chris)
- Scrambled Eggs
Lunch
- Leftovers
- Salad
- Homemade Yogurt, Fruit, Nuts & Olives
- Beef Summer Sausage, Cheese, Crackers, Fruit & Carrots
Dinner
- Maple-Glazed Salmon & Salad (bumping from last week again)
- Homemade Pizza
- Steak, Salad & Glazed Carrots
- Pasta, Salad & Garlic Bread
- Dinner with friends
- Might try making Firecracker Chicken Wraps
Snacks
- Sliced Fruit
- Carrots (found organic baby carrots for less than $1/lb)
- Homemade Juice (the second-hand juicer works!)
- Homemade Ice Cream
- Leftover Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes
- Cereal & Milk
- Granola Bars (Chris)
- Amish Friendship Bread
Prepare
- 1-3 Quarts Brainless Homemade Yogurt
- 2-3 Loaves Very-Little-Bother Bread (running out of wheat to grind, to I’ll use half whole wheat flour and half white flour)
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Trying anything new this week?

What a huge blessing! Don’t overeat.
It’s almost shopping time, and I’m adding sweet potatoes to the list.

When BF my kids with eczema I found that dairy free helped but getting rid of gluten made a much larger change
3 weeks of gluten/dairy/soy free and clear skin for both!
Also this was a miracle product for a pea sized amount of their lotion after bath time
