What are Nightshades?
It’s a dirty, dirty word around our house. It means pain, bloating, restless legs, eczema, and too many bathroom visits. Typically when ‘nightshade’ is said the poisonous plant, witches, and spells comes to mind. For those of us with an allergy or intolerance; it can be just as evil and dark. Views: 2
Lemony Breaded Roasted Broccoli with Faux-lic & Faux-nion
I have no idea why; but broccoli gets eaten by the double portions (usually with seconds) here in our home. Not complaining, as broccoli is FULL of good things, and delicious to boot, but it sometimes gets boring using our standard oil, salt&pepper roasted standby. This is a great option to shake things up, but still get them trees into your diet. Views: 1

NAG-free Macaroni and Cheese Royale
Given that we have several smaller children, this recipe is on the menu almost once a week (which is killer for me, lover of variety, but hey, they eat it.)
