This, now gluten free, recipe has been many things over the years. It started as a simple no egg, apple sauce muffin when my first son was a toddler and allergic to eggs. Every fall we would go apple picking, make our own apple sauce; with skins on of course, thus the sauce had a high pectin content making it perfect for use in these muffins without egg.

Maybe I’m just getting sentimental in my old age (39) but the last few days have seen me reflecting. Not quite sure what brought it on but here I am. Yes; I admit I am usually quite emotional but today more so. This morning I teared up listening to the Kinky Boots (song: Raise You Up) soundtrack! Haha, even I have to laugh at myself for that one!

We are a family of 6. 6 people ranging in age from 11 to 92; with a taste preference just as wide as the age gaps. In all honesty I am NOT a planner! More days than not I open the fridge at 4 to figure out what we will be having for dinner at 5:30. Probably not the best way to plan dinner for 1 celiac vegetarian, a non-chicken eater, and 2 lactose intolerants! Drives dear hubby crazy! Thus as I head into the farmers market I have no idea what I am looking for. Hoping inspiration will hit and then I WILL know what’s for supper before I need to get cooking!

You take every precaution, those of us with celiac disease and our family members understand the importance of clean; clean everything to prevent cross contamination. I never just buy anymore, now trips to the market include me asking “how gluten free is it”? Meaning is this item prepared in a GF designated area? Is there flour in the air? Do the employees know safe food handling procedures? I hate this, I am usually easy going. Having to ask a thousand questions before buying or eating goes against every grain in my body.
Many times we push, we push for things we want not often for those that we need. We push for the things that we think will be best for us. We avoid those things that are hard.
Sometimes we are pushed; pushed into directions that we never thought we would end up in. When this happens things tend to fall together in ways we never imagined. 3 years ago I never would have considered that I would be taking this direction. My blog has been many things over years. My focus has always been natural health, wellness and yoga. Now I stray. Continue reading “Food, Health, Healing”

I believe that each of us has the ability to be happy and healthy, naturally.
The number 1 thing I have learned is Education is our best defense. Yes there is a time and place for every type of medical intervention. Holistic Medicine and Yoga Therapy are the best in way of prevention and recovery.
Many chronic illnesses are caused by an imbalance in the natural system. Where pharmaceuticals add to this imbalance, natural therapies aim to rebalance the body to promote self healing.
