Here’s the menu for my family for the week of January 23rd. As far as desserts go, I made a gluten-free chocolate cake this past week and have one from the same site for a vanilla bean cake. I’m going to give that a go since the family love the chocolate one so much. Recipes will be forthcoming!

Dear Hallee: Eating Dairy & Meat

Posted by Hallee on Jan 19, 2012 in Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, Life, Natural Health

What are your thoughts on dairy and meat? I am so confused about it all, there is so much conflicting info out there.

As much as I wish otherwise, there isn’t a simple answer to this question.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Cake

Posted by Hallee on Jan 18, 2012 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

I made this cake for Gregg’s birthday this year. I’d made his traditional Red Velvet Cake in the form of a cake roll for him to take to work with him that day, so I thought I’d change things up a bit. This was an amazing flavor – it tasted just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but in the form of a cake! I did not not take pictures of the process, but it’s very simple.

The Tomato

Posted by Hallee on Jan 17, 2012 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley

In December, I had a vine-ripe tomato sitting on my window sill. When I picked it up, the outside felt very bumpy, which was kind of strange. I know this picture is blurry, but maybe you can see the little off-colored bumps along the skin.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of January 9th. As far as desserts go, Scott has been begging for pudding, and I have an abundance of bananas, so I think I’m going to make some banana pudding with homemade Whole Wheat Vanilla Wafers!

Christmas Morning Breakfast

Posted by Hallee on Dec 23, 2011 in Breakfast, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, menus & menu planning

As much as I enjoy feeding my family, breakfast on Christmas morning always feels like an afterthought to me. We’ve usually been up for hours, opening presents and sipping on coffee and hot chocolate, when suddenly everyone is hungry and I just don’t feel like cooking or dirtying up dishes.
