Recent Hits...and What's Up This Week

I haven't been able to work myself up to posting our menu every week (it's working out to about every other week), but we have lots of yummy stuff in between, so I wanted to throw these pictures and links out there as well.

When Elisabeth went to the birthday party (as Josefina) last weekend, she took some of her own GAPS-friendly eats along with her, including these Pizza Bites (or Pizza Nuggets as we've been calling them)...

We warmed up tomato sauce with Italian Seasoning and Garlic Salt
to use as dipping sauce for these pizza nuggets...they were YUM!

...and she took these Salted Caramel Pecans...

These. are. addictive.

...and finally, she took Chocolate Ice Cream. 

We had Arica and her family over to eat with us on Tuesday, and for dessert we made (again!) this yummy apple tart:

We've made this tart about, oh...10 times now.  That might be a slight exaggeration...but only slight.We change the recipe slightly to make it GAPS-friendly...and we love it.  Love it!  Elisabeth makes it by herself now.  Bonus.

Forgot to take an "After" picture of the tart, and then...it was GONE!

We had Dr. Kathy and her friend Dr. Matt over for supper on Saturday night.  (I'm supposed to call her just Kathy now - she did help me paint our new house, after all.  I'm working on it, but old habits die hard.)  We had Italian Chicken Zucchini Lasagna for our entree.  Dessert was another batch of Chocolate Ice Cream (Hit! Kathy asked for recipe!) and Chai Spiced Cupcakes with a 7-Minute Frosting.
