The Journey, Home from Autism has arrived! This book started out as a 30 page hand out and now is a 312 book that covers everything we learned, did, experienced and found to be helpful.

Funny how things work though… the books arrived the day before Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a houseful of company on Thanksgiving and had even more fun on Friday – spending most of the day at Ocean Journey, here in the Denver area. The sad thing – I came down with a cold virus on Saturday and the boys followed. First, Tanner came home early from school on Monday. Second, Oliver stayed home today.

We all had a bit of a fever this morning so going outside didn’t sound appealing. Instead, the three of us put up the Christmas tree today, read a silly book about Chester the Cricket and cooked orange chicken with rice for dinner. All in all, we are feeling better and our fevers have broken – many thanks I believe, due to taking Grapefruit Seed Extract. I add 15 drops to a glass of orange juice for myself three times a day and five – ten drops for the boys.

The orange chicken recipe:
2 cups rinsed long grain rice
4 cups orange juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Mix the rice and orange juice together in a baking pan. Lay the chicken on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about one hour. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 5 – 10 minutes. Everyone loves this recipe and it couldn’t be simpler!
