This is a topic I’m sure we all could use some help with! I remember when Emerson was 9 months old or so and she was eating EVERYTHING – olives, fish, beans. Basically, if it was on my plate, she was shoveling it in. Of course I thought that meant she was going to be an adventurous eater. haha. These days, she’s eating more than she was at 2.5/3, and she’s in a major snack phase. Pretty much every 15…
I’ve received quite a few requests to write this post. Sadly, a lot of other people are struggling with digestion issues these days, and I’ve gotten a bunch of questions as to why and how I discovered that gluten upset my stomach. Let’s rewind back to 2008, when I was still in college. At some point during my junior or senior year, I started having crazy episodes of burping – like forceful hiccup burps that would scare people away. My…
Hello! I’m sharing a few of my eats and go-to recipes recently. Since having Avery, I’m all about the quick cooking. Some day I’ll get back into more complex recipes, but for now, it’s just eat and repeat! I’ve always been an overnight oats person (mostly because I love them as a base for peanut butter) so breakfasts have been the same as always. I rarely get tired of this breakfast and it’s been great for mornings after sleep deprived nights…
What a treat to have such a long weekend! Matt’s parents, sister, and sister’s husband arrived on Wednesday afternoon. I was out at my PT appointment, and then went to Whole Foods for the turkey and some last minute groceries. I also picked up pumpkin pie and quiche from Sunflower Baking Company, and then a fall pie and mushroom pot pie from Move That Dough Baking Co. Sunflower is one of my go-to’s for GF baked goods, and I decided this…
Hello and happy Thanksgiving week! We are hosting Matt’s family and I’m excited to stay in Charlotte. Aside from a lot of grocery shopping, food planning, and cleaning, I’m hoping it’s a relaxing week. Other than that, there’s not a lot going on over here. I’m just enjoying this slower season of life and spending most of my time at home. Last week, my doctor cleared me for exercise, but I’m working with the pelvic floor PT to add specific…
This beautiful star mobile from Friday Street Project on Etsy. I saw something similar by Pehr, and this one was half the price and custom! This recipe for salmon burgers. I’ve made it three times now with fresh salmon from the skillet + gf panko and it’s a good one. Reusable food storage bags – How did I not know these exist? I actually bought them to store my pump parts in and will be getting more (maybe the silicone ones)…
We have been cramming so much into these last few weekends. We have one more as a threesome before my mom joins us for #babywatch! Friday started like any other weekend – with homemade pizza. I can’t remember why, but it was super late before we got Emerson to bed, and I was exhausted making the pizza at nearly 9pm. I told Matt I have one more weekend of pizza-making in me, but then we are switching to delivery so…
-I’m definitely procrastinating packing for the wedding weekend by writing this post. -The baby kicks have been getting big this week, and Matt and I are still kind of in awe that another one is coming!! -We are trying Sunbasket this week and I really like it! It’s less work than Blue Apron and better quality than Hello Fresh. I don’t think we could afford to do it every week (a friend gave me her code), but it has been…
Hello! It was a gorgeous weekend here in Charlotte and we barely left the house! Friday, some friends invited us to a Seder (a little late bc so many of their friends were out of town on Easter weekend) and it was lots of fun! I had never been to one (fun fact: I didn’t have a Jewish friend until college because the rural town where I grew up had zero diversity) and really enjoyed experiencing another religious holiday celebration.…
