The end of our GAPS journey, the exciting beginning of another…

When we started this journey almost 2 years ago, I had no idea what was in store. I ambitiously, but naively took on putting my family through the GAPS diet […]

To all my followers, friends and networking fellow bloggers, after a lot of thinking, I am temporarily shutting down my social media. Two months ago we found out my family is being relocated to Tampa with my husband’s company. We’ve really had to process this change as we love where we live and it hasn’t been an easy decision to move. Amazingly though, this move couldn’t be more timely. We have finally reached the end of our GAPS journey and are currently transitioning my son off of the protocol. It is so incredible and overwhelming to get to that point where we know my son is healed and ready to come off of GAPS. I never thought we would get here and seeing it all play out is almost hard to believe if I hadn’t witnessed it myself. We are so ready for a fresh start that isn’t so focused on food and health. When I first started this blog, I whole-heartedly wanted to share our journey to offer hope to others struggling with similar issues with their kids. I wanted to show it was doable with young children and the end results would be the reward. And I can honestly say that we have achieved that, even if I haven’t documented it on social media as much as I thought I would. I wanted to leave those who have been following our journey with the end of the story, which was that we had success. We healed my son of his eczema flares, random hive outbreaks and gut issues. He is so much better off because of it! I have written a short summary that is posted on my blog, link in bio. I hope you will read it to find one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle to my son’s health. It was what I could never figure out with just eliminating his food allergies. GAPS showed us the answer through all the set backs, changes and healing through the process. I don’t think I would have ever figured this out otherwise. In closing, I am just temporarily shutting things down until we get settled in Tampa and I have time to really figure out what I want to do so I can pursue it passionately and whole-heartedly. I’ve enjoyed networking with so many other bloggers and connecting with people who follow us. Will be back soon… xoxo Jennifer
I made these last week and I think the have gotten better and better over time. Funny how some dishes do that, especially when cold. These Chocolate Orange Date Balls are an oldie but goodie. I sometimes get stuck making the same things, but these need to be added back to the rotation. I changed up my recipe a bit and these came out like little brownie bites. I keep in the frig, do the chill gives them an extra bite ❄️. So easy and healthy! Whole 30, Paleo and GAPS legal and kid-approved. My son calls them “dough balls” because of their consistency. A perfect snack for all! I thought I had this recipe on my blog, but it was for Coconut Lemon Date Balls. I’ll post soon 😋! • #antiinflammatory #glutenfree #allergyfriendly #paleo #paleodiet #paleodiet #refinedsugarfree #dairyfree #gapsdiet #foodismedicine #kidswithfoodallergies #cleaneating #cleaneatingkids #kidshealth #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #fitfood #foodallergymom #whole30recipes #whole30approved #whole30 #naturescandy
Is it too soon for fall dishes 🍂?! This super healthy stuffed acorn squash 🐿 is so versatile and adaptable to your preferences. This is stuffed with pastured ground chicken @whiteoakpastures , spinach, red onion, apples and sprinkled with fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves). It is definitely getting me ready for fall 🍁. • Here’s a good tip- if your kids need help, sprinkle the acorn squash with some cinnamon, honey, sea salt and a dollop of fat. My kids love it and will eat the sausage scramble on the side. • #wholesome #paleokids #paleo #healthyalternatives #eattherainbow #eatyourveggies #foodallergies #allergyfriendly #gapsdiet #wholefood #foodismedicine #whole30 #whole30approved #kidshealth #cleaneating #cleaneatingkids #glutenfree #dairyfree #grainfree #antiinflammatory #fitfood

Back to school 📚✂️ is bittersweet for me. We’ve had an amazing summer ☀️ filled with lots of activities, road trips and playing with friends. But I feel like everything else gets put on pause while my undivided attention is placed on the kids. So while I am ready to move onto a schedule again (so I can get back to some things I enjoy outside my kids like sharing on my blog and exercising regularly again), I do find it a bit sad to end summer. I long for the days of no routine filled with adventure and spontaneous trips - but also long for the routine of school with order and schedule and early bed times! It’s beautiful to watch the kids grow to a new grade and all the activities that come with but equally bittersweet as these years are fleeting! With that said, it’s back to packing school lunches. We’ve got turkey roll ups with spinach, avocado and bacon, sliced cucumbers, pumpkin custard muffin, watermelon and kiwi, pork rinds and lastly two mini chocolate muffins. All naturally sweetened, gluten free and dairy free. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring for kids! What all do you have ready for school? #cleaneats #glutenfree #glutenfreeliving #grainfree #nutfree #kidswithfoodallergies #foodallergies #foodallergymom #dairyfree #antiinflammatory #jerf #cleaneatingkids #kidshealth #justeatrealfood #nourishing #nourishyourbody #foodismedicine #gapsdiet #backtoschool #paleo #paleokids #wholesome #lunchboxideas #lunchbox #allergyfriendly
