While we are mostly grain free still, my husband has requested a few grains here and there for breakfasts. So this week a couple of soaked porridges will be on the menu. I will still be eating grain-free and low-carb, however. We are also eating a bit more dairy with raw cheese and yogurt back on the menu.
Friday night we celebrate my father-in-law’s retirement with a special dinner. For dessert I am planning a dairy free ice cream from a new book that I hope to review next week so stay tuned.

PS – What are your opinions for potatoes with grain-free living/low-carb?
[Reply]
Sarah – We do organic potatoes on occasion around here. Organic because they are highly sprayed. I, personally, do not eat them because of the high carb content, but my husband and toddler love them. I would say that about once a month I’ll buy a 5 lb. bag from Trader Joe’s and they go through it in 10-14 days. Much more common on our table is sweet potatoes.
