A Week of Eating on the GAPS Diet

A Week of Eating on the GAPS Diet

I jotted down what we ate for a couple of days last week to give you a broad idea of what kind of food lines our bellies over here while our diet is restricted.

It’s not a full list, but I made notes when I had the time. My schedule is so full of overflow right now that it’s kinda crazy at this witch doctor’s house.

Katie and I are pretty snacky and have munched on more fruit than usual. It been a great way to keep our energy up while we transition away from starches and grains.

 

 

This Week’s Goals

My goals for the coming week are to increase our fat consumption – hemp oil for ALAs, avocado, coconut, and animal fats (duck, lard) – and swap out some of the fruit smoothies with freshly made vegetable juices.

Hubby will be traveling for business for the week, so our schedule and meals will be modified to accommodate one less adult in the house and one extra tired mommy.

GAPS, GAPS Revisited

Primal Meatballs with Onion Gravy (egg-free)

Primal Meatballs with Onion Gravy (egg-free)

Meatballs are one of my favorite meals to make.

It makes me feel very Betty Crocker. Like I have it all put together and am not always behind in domestic duties.

I can get a substantial meal on the table with little effort, and this one’s an easy way to pack a meal full of veggies without serving 6 side dishes. Throw a salad together or cook up some peas and call it done.

Who wants to dirty a bunch of extra dishes? Not this mama.

Sanity Saving Trick

I prepare and cook all of my family’s meals and snacks. Yeah, I know.

It can get exhausting, but I’m finally learning shortcuts that make it possible with 2 busy businesses, training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and homeschooling my almost-5-year-old.

A Real Food Kid’s Lunch

A Real Food Kid's Lunch

 

My kiddo is certainly a Real Food lover. Put just about any food in front of her, and she’s happy to gobble it down.

This mama is very thankful for that.

If you’re wondering how we did that, it’s all about gut health. Miss Katie had a ton of restrictions with her prior allergies, but, thanks to our healing protocol, they’re gone now.

Katie’s Adventuresome Lunch

Her lunch from yesterday was all her doing. She picked which foods filled her favorite lunch box and decided the toppings for each. As I’ve mentioned before, this princess-doctor-ballerina-fairy is certain to have her own cooking show.

Here’s the breakdown:

Homemade Thick and Creamy Coconut Milk

Homemade Thick & Creamy Coconut Milk

While on our dairy-free trial, I have decided to give homemade coconut milk another go.

After 4 failed recipes – surprisingly from some really popular blogs -, I gave up and decided to create my own version. It is exactly what I was looking for. Decadent, milky, and perfect for our favorite drinks.

Sage Flower Infused Olive Oil

Sage Flower Infused Olive Oil

Yesterday, I noticed that my sage plant was ready to burst into bloom. It’s a bit too early in the season, and I want to encourage it to spend energy on growing instead of flowering.

Instead of wasting the blooms in the compost pile, they went into a jar of pure, organic cold-pressed olive oil. This olive oil will infuse in a dark spot until the dark days of winter are upon us.
