    Hi,
    I shared a recipe for braised short ribs with gravy (SCD/GAPS), Valentine Day Linzer Hearts. Also, an article about the new science on the dangers of sugar, and I tried to answer the question: are grains toxic or safe?

    Thanks for hosting!

    Hi Rebecca! I shared my great aunt’s recipe for cinnamon rolls and tips from her tutorial. I updated the recipe to make it healthier with whole wheat flour and less salt and sugar. http://www.lonehomeranger.com/2012/02/aunt-els-cinnamon-rolls.html

    I also shared my thoughts on keeping my children’s birthdays simple in the face of a culture of “goody bags,” overbuying of gifts, and throw-away decorations: http://www.lonehomeranger.com/2012/02/starting-as-i-mean-to-go-on.html

    Hope you enjoy and thanks for hosting!
