31 for 21: Not Your Typical Kitchen

Soooo . . . today is the last of the 31 days. I'm sure blogging will slow down a bit, but hopefully I won't forget about this blog :). October is one of the busier months around here.

I thought I'd share this picture . . .

My bottle calf, Lulu, in the kitchen.

Its's just a baby! Hey, it is a barn. (Our house is a converted barn.) As I type, there is meat processing going behind me. We slaughter and butcher all of our own meat because of food allergies (plus, it is typically cheaper). (Funny, I just noticed that there is a DSAT (Down Syndrome Association of Tulsa) Buddy Walk shirt in that picture. Just fits the context of the blog challenge.)

Goodbye to the 2012 Annual 31 for 21 blog challenge!

31 for 21 is a blog challenge to raise Down Syndrome awareness 1 blog at a time. The challenge is to blog everyday the whole month of October (31 days) to raise awareness for Down Syndrome (aka Trisomy 21). This is the 6th Annual 31 for 21 Challenge.

31 for 21: Buddy Walk

Today was the 10th Annual Down Syndrome Association of Tulsa Buddy Walk. There was booths and free food. Since McDonald's is a presenting sponsor, there was a lot of junk food there . .  but there was also a gluten-free table with healthy food - Beanito chips and LARABARS. I hadn't heard of Beanitos before, but they are healthy and were pretty good in my opinion. And of course, the LARABARS were good as always.

Pictures!

Our team name flag.

The start of the walk.

Fun with best buds!

Nighty-night.

31 for 21: Pumpkin Butter

We were gone all day today @ our soccer game and the Buddy Walk - fun but tiring!

Here is another pumpkin recipe - made in the crockpot, too!

Pumpkin Butter

15 oz (about 2 cups) pumpkin puree

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract, (optional)

Buddy Walk 2010!!

Today was the Tulsa Down Syndrome Buddy Walk. No recipes for today, because we were gone all day having fun at the Buddy Walk . . . more recipes tomorrow, Lord willing. Here are some pictures at the Buddy Walk.

We brought some goats, a sheep and some rabbits for a small petting zoo.

We hid candy in the hay bales, and the kids had to find them.
