Rose, Cardamom & Pecan Breakfast Muffins

October 30, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I know the title might suggest that there are a lot of ingredients in these that you may not have and that they are hard to make but they are super easy and also, you don’t even need to use rose and cardamom if you don’t want… you could just have them plain, they would…

Braxton’s 1st Birthday – Ideas & Inspiration For A Healthy, Organic Birthday Party

October 17, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I can’t believe my baby boy is 1! In one way it feels like the year flew by and I can’t believe he’s 1 already, but then again it also feels like it went very slowly. Having the postpartum arthritis flare for 6 months did make that part go very slowly-I remember wishing those days…

Epic Chocolate Birthday Cake – GF DF SF

October 17, 2016 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

Here it is–Braxton’s EPIC (if I do say so myself) chocolate birthday cake. So, this is the same recipes as Grandma’s Birthday cake, except I made 2 of them in a smaller size so I could tier it, and I forgot to sprinkle cacao over the top. But also, I decided not to use the…

Everything You Need To Know About Vaccinations, And Why So Many Are Choosing Not To Do it

October 12, 2016 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

I’m writing this article for the people who ask me to guide them through their journeys into questioning vaccines. Every time someone asks for advice, instead of sending a bunch of articles, I think it might be helpful for them to refer to this article where all the information is in one place. But I’m…

Golden Linseed Oat Cookies – Full of Omega-3 and Great for Baby Led Weaning

October 12, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

As many of you know by now, I usually make sure to make a batch of something sweet but healthy once a week (ish!) so that I don’t have to give Braxton anything processed or filled with sugar. I don’t give him sweet things every day (apart from fruit), but I do like to give…

Sweet Potato & Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Cashew Sauce

October 5, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This is a recipe from the Veggie Steady Cook cookbook we had made from all our recipes from the day, so I can’t take credit for it as it’s not my recipe – but I made it the other day and swapped some of the ingredients to make it dairy free and it was so…
