Yes, I’m still pregnant, still in Prodromal Labor… consistent contractions all day and night, but that’s just the “problem.” They’re not getting more intense, so… I’m left in limbo. And what do people in limbo do? Bake cookies! (And make tomato basil sauce out of the TONS of tomatoes from our garden, but I didn’t…
I was super-excited because today was the day I was to receive a free fruit basket from Proflowers to review. It arrived via FedEx at about 3:00pm and I hurried to open it. Item Description: 2 Green Comice or D’Anjou Pears 2 Granny Smith Apples 3 Gala Apples 3 Navel Oranges 2 Red Grapefruit 8…
I think I’ve mentioned that I’ve been freezing meals for post-baby… so last night I wanted to poach some chicken breasts and freeze some for easy meals (throwing into veggies/sauce, making into chicken taco salads, etc). So I poached 6 breasts, and cut up 2 to use in dinner, which was sort of a repeat…
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Full-fat cottage cheese, blueberries (the kind that explode in your mouth they’re so juicy) and strawberries from a local farmer, garden-ripe tomatoes… You can’t tell me this doesn’t look amazing!
Back in October, I shared Perfect Primal Waffles with you – and hopefully you’ve made and enjoyed them! We’ve actually eaten them tons of times, when we make a bigger/more complicated brunch on the weekends. But sometimes we want pancakes, and guess what! The batter works perfectly for pancakes too. Grain-free Gluten-free Pancakes: 6 eggs…
Pregnancy iced tea: Heat 4 cups of water. Throw in 3 bags of Red Raspberry Leaf tea. Throw in 1 bag of other tea (I did peppermint, then green chai, and tonight’s is green tea + some lemon slices) for variety Dump in 3 packets of Truvia Let steep several minutes. Remove tea bags, and…
On the first day of summer, my tomatoes celebrated by deciding to ripen a bunch of themselves at once! The red ones were turned into sauce already – which we ate over some chicken breasts with mozzarella cheese melted on top (like a non-breaded Chicken Parmesan). It was delicious and SO fresh-tasting. There was only…
So now she’s allowed to come whenever she wants, because we’ve reached “full term” – woo hoo! So she could be born tomorrow or in another 5 weeks. Kind of a long time frame when you think about it… I’m hoping she comes before I become an angry/frustrated pregnant lady saying things like, “Have I…
Just another delicious summer salad made with local lettuce and tomatoes. But the star of the dish is, of course, the chicken salad on top. It’s so simple to make, and wonderfully flavorful. Good Chicken Salad with Grapes and Pine Nuts Recipe You will need: several chicken breasts, poached and shredded (or leftover rotisserie chicken,…
One of my “problems” in home decor has been wall art. Sometimes size matters, and I think art is one of the places where it definitely does. Having a couple tiny framed photos, or a small painting above a couch looks a bit silly. And while you can group a bunch of them into a…
So, today I set up the camera and tripod, and all of a sudden it was like this blank wall in our house was the most exciting thing in the world. The dog came and posed (totally on her own) awkwardly looking like some sort of deranged furby, while my husband peeked in like a…
My sweet dog has been using the same dog bed since her birthday a year and a half ago. Needless to say, despite many washings and oxy-cleanings and such, it was gross-looking. Also, some holes had worn through the seams that attached the base to the “bumper.” Zora deserved a new bed, and so did…
