OK OK so I'm stealing this recipe. From myself. Sort of. I wish I wasn't completely crazy and could remember where I get my inspiration from for the grilling part of this guac, but unfortunately the baby ate my brain while I was pregnant and it still hasn't grown back yet. Word on the street is that it's not going to come back...which could be a real problem. Good thing I've recorded my life and recipes on this blog for that very reason - to remind myself who I am when I completely lose ... continue reading...
Indulge Me
Morning everyone :) So wow, the past few weeks have been CRAZY, right? I mean, having a kiddo is kind of life-changing (understatement of the century). As crazy, sleep-deprived, and exciting as the past two weeks have been they've been 2 of the best weeks of my entire life. I've learned that there's no end to the amount of love a mom can have for her sweet baby - as Weston's doctor said today, you know it's love when they can pee on you, poop on you, and vomit on you all in the ... continue reading...
Pizza Party – A Random Mommy-Brained Post
As a new mom I'm kind of leaning towards foods that are easy and delicious - and if you've been reading this blog for any length of time I think you probably know that I'm kind of in love with pizza. Majorly, majorly in love with pizza. This post isn't going to have any recipes on it. It's not going to give you something brand-spanking-new to chew on and think about. And St. Patrick's Day recipes? Nopers - sorry! See, the past week and a half has run together so ... continue reading...
Expect the Unexpected: Our Birth Story
If ever there was something that I've learned from pregnancy it's that you have to expect the unexpected. For example, expecting to not have morning sickness? You should probably expect that. Or what about gestational diabetes? Even if people tell you the lowest possible risks and say no way! You'll never have it...it might be best to just expect that you'll have it. And natural birth? I think I knew deep in the pit of my being that since nothing in this pregnancy was going "as expected" ... continue reading...
Overwhelmed with Love
Good morning everyone! Long time no blog, right? I mean, I figure giving birth to and learning how to take care of this little guy is a good enough reason though :) I'm hoping to write up my birth story over the course of the next day or so (for you guys and for me...mommy brain is no joke!) but for now we are spending every moment we can with our little guy, learning how to change a diaper (or 70 poopy ones), figuring out breastfeeding, cooing and talking to him, and laughing at ... continue reading...
Weston Jay
My friends, Last night at 8:10pm we welcomed our little boy, Weston Jay, into this world. He weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz and 20.5 inches long and is absolutely perfect! I can't wait to share more, but for now here is his 10-minute old picture: Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support! Heather, Nate & Weston ... continue reading...
Here’s the Jig
Here's the jig guys - no baby yet. YET. Emphasis on the Y-E-T. I'm officially 41 weeks along today and beyond ready for the little guy to make his entrance into this world. If I'm being honest I'm also a little scared...life is never going to be the same again, and I've become so accustomed to being just me, Nate and the pups that thinking about having a little guy to take care of as well can be a little daunting. I've also been told that change is the best thing in the world, ... continue reading...
Tomato Basil Quinoa Cups
Roasting tomatoes is kind of one of my favorite things ever, and you know who I have to thank for that? The one, the only...Rachel Ray. That's right kids! She made roasting the heck out of tomatoes just so...so...romantic. I don't know. I don't have a way to explain myself, but honestly one day I was watching 30 Minute Meals and Rach (we're on an abbreviated first name basis) started chatting about how roasting grape tomatoes until they burst makes them extra yummy ... continue reading...
The Dude’s Room
Well my friends, no baby just yet! I suppose he'll come when he's ready, but making his poor mom wait 5+ days after the due date? He sure knows how to make an entrance ;) So I promised a looooooooooong time ago to show pictures of his room once we got it all in working order and honestly it hasn't been until just recently that we actually completed it all. We have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bedrooms on the top floor and 1 on the bottom floor, and pre-pregnancy we had our bedroom ... continue reading...
Gluten-Free Coconut Lime Cookies
Yesterday Nate and I tortured ourselves. Why/how? Oh, just wait, I'll tell you. See, we kind of have a thing for going to island destinations. We kind of sort of love them. Almost as much as I love Texas...and we all know that's saying a lot. So when I get the opportunity to relive vacations in the middle of winter, well, let's just say I can't stop myself. Which leads me to the self-torture that Nate and I subjected ourselves to yesterday. See ... continue reading...
Chobani Review + Giveaway
A couple weeks ago the wonderful people at Chobani sent me their newest flavors to review and do a giveaway with you guys for...and since I'm basically obsessed with Greek yogurt I couldn't really say no, you know? The massive box arrived at work and I couldn't wait to jump in. I mean, Apple Cinnamon, Passion Fruit and Blood Orange can't be bad, you know? If I'm being honest here I really love the 2% yogurt best because it's SOOOOOO creamy and filling. But my favorite flavor of the ... continue reading...
Simple Chicken and Vegetable Enchiladas
Good Lord, I need some color in my life STAT. Winter is slowly but surely making me wish for summer like you wouldn't believe...and not in an 'I'm depressed with SAD' way, but the lack of color, the endless snow forecasts and the wind (omg the wind...) is slowly but surely crushing my soul. I can be a little dramatic sometimes. Especially when my soul is being crushed. The good news is that greener foods are starting to come back into the picture and I'm starting to see a ... continue reading...
