Mayo-free Chicken Salad in Tomato Cups

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Right now, I’m trying to detox my body which means that I’m not eating sugar or dairy. I’m also eating very few grains. Because of this, I’m finding that I need more protein to keep me feeling good and not run down. I was in the mood for some chicken salad, but mayo is not an item I can use right now. I needed to come up with something else. I decided to use a healthy fat – olive oil, mustard, and a little vinegar. The mustard and honey give the chicken salad a tang, but it’s not overly strong.…

Cabin Updates: New Floor and Laundry Room

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

Last Tuesday, Munchkin and I headed up to the cabin with the pups and the guinea pigs. D was over in 29 Palms, so we thought we’d get a little work done at the cabin while he was there.

We found ourselves working quite hard to complete some main things at the cabin including laying all of the floor in the cabin. Since I had already completed the master bedroom floor…
