Great Playlist plus a Smoothie recipe!

Welcome back to Good Music Monday at Carrots! Here’s a Spotify playlist just for you to enjoy on this hot June Monday (it's getting HOT this week in Waco) for whatever your day holds.

Rajas con Crema Recipe for the Feast of the Mexican Martyrs (May 21st)

Since Daniel and I starting bringing the liturgical year into our family life one of the things I love most is how celebrating feast days helps us learn about the saints. I had never heard of the Cristero War and the Mexican Martyrs until a couple of years ago. Now two of the brave martyrs of the Cristero War are some of our family's favorite saints: Bl. Miguel Pro and Bl. Jose Sanchez del Rio. I … [Read more...]

Fried Rice for Breakfast? Trust Me, Guys. (Recipe, too!)

September 13, 2015 By Haley 4 Comments

Fried Rice for breakfast? Seriously delicious recipe!

Part of the transition to life on the farm is getting accustomed to using whatever has been harvested from the garden that day in our meals. Thankfully, I married a man who's really good at putting meals together with whatever is available and one of the tricks he keeps up his sleeve is Fried Rice and it's so good. Fried Rice is a great way to use up a variety of veggies if you don't have quite … [Read more...]

Sweet Sweet Potato Hash Recipe (Gluten-free, Egg-Free)// Carrots for Michaelmas

Need a good idea for Mardi Gras food? Daniel's family lived in New Orleans for several years when he was growing up and the culinary tradition of that fair city is still strong with him.

Soul Cake Recipe (Gluten-Free) for All Souls Day // Carrots for Michaelmas

Making Soul Cakes during Hallowtide (All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day) has become a little tradition at our house. I wanted to share my recipe with you in time for All Souls on Sunday!

I really love the way … [Read more...]

Grain-Free/Gluten-Free Baking (eCookbook Review and Recipe)

July 19, 2013 By Haley 14 Comments

Have I told you that my kids are allergic to gluten? Well, they are and it's a big bummer. Just give them a little bit and they'll have eczema from head to toe. And since my son sometimes has asthma attacks awful enough to merit a night in the hospital, staying away from allergy triggers is really important. We've been cooking gluten-free for them for over a year and my poor husband has had to … [Read more...]

Little Holydays: Trinity Sunday Blueberry Pie

May 25, 2013 By Haley 2 Comments

On Trinity Sunday (May 26th this year) we celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity–the doctrine that distinguishes Christianity from all other faiths. A concept like the Holy Trinity is difficult to denote through food, but in our family we try to start food traditions for the Christian Year that also tie into what’s seasonal where we live. During early summer in Florida, blueberries are fully … [Read more...]
