A couple days ago I posted a little baking project that Wes and I did on Instagram and got a lot of questions asking if he really liked the cookies...and y'all? The answer to that is YES, my sweet picky eater really got excited about them! To the point that he even started eating raw rolled oats. I don't even know what to do with that! It's so funny; I used to think that because I love food so much and always enjoyed a large variety that of course my offspring would feel the same ... continue reading...
Ranch-Flavored Brown Rice
Want to know something? I think I'm in danger of (and by "in danger of" I mean it's already happened) of overdoing it. You know how yesterday I said that being pregnant with a toddler is a different game than being pregnant the first time around? I wasn't kidding, and I'm looking at the next 8-ish weeks a little more warily than before. See, with Wes I was able to work, workout, build my brand and still find the time to rest. Now I'm doing all of those things plus chasing my ... continue reading...
32 Weeks
HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU? 32 weeks today. It's getting real y'all! GENERALLY FEELING: EXHAUSTED. Granted we did just get back from a whirlwind weekend in Dallas, but I just wear out so much more easily now. A girlfriend of mine said it best the other day - being pregnant with a toddler isn't the same as just being pregnant. A whole new world! SHOWING? What you see in the above photo is my current view...so yes. Showing. Quite a bit :) CRAVINGS? Honestly I ... continue reading...
Whiskey-Soaked Cherry Chocolate Bread
Who here is a Valentine's Day lover? Admittedly I'm not; it's not that I think it's cheesy or weird or had a bad experience. I just think it's worth it to celebrate the ones we love every day! How's that for cheesy? :) A good Galentine's Day though? Let's just say y'all should get excited about this year's party! All of that being said though? This bread is kind of perfect for Valentine's Day, especially when you're pregnant and have unusual cravings for just about any ... continue reading...
Inspired Week
About a Boy. I won't lie, this one's been on my heart since the moment I read it. You may be like me and unable to adopt this sweet child, but we can pray. We can pray big time, sincerely, genuinely for his heart and for God's mighty purpose to be revealed. Join me? When I Saw the Sons Who Were Never Really Mine. You guys know my heart for adoption and orphan care, and this post is so beautifully written. Lara Casey's posts on goal setting: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part ... continue reading...
Smashed Avocado Toast with Red Onion and Pineapple
Looky looky, another non-recipe recipe! Y'all, I'm not even sorry that these are just flavor combos (fabulous flavor combos that is) on a piece of bread. And I don't even care that I'm approximately 5 years late in the toast-as-snack phenomenon either. Better late than never, amen? Can we just chat about game day eats? Not anything in particular, but I love hearing what you guys have traditionally for Super Bowl Sunday. Growing up we always had reuben sandwiches, potato chips, a ... continue reading...
Currently
Did you make resolutions this year? Goals? Pick a word of the year? How's that going? Honestly I'm in unexplored territory as far as the goal-making process goes for me, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones or just a desire to take all things in life more seriously, but this year I bought Make It Happen by Lara Casey and I've been going through it with the idea that I want long-lasting, permanent changes. Career, marriage, ... continue reading...
Healthy Peanut Butter Pancakes
Confession time: I really really really hate almond butter. Like, all the time. I tried for years to enjoy it, to get on the trendiness of it, but I just plain don't like it. Well, unless it's this homemade version. But I've decided not to make time for homemade amazing almond butter lately, choosing to enjoy a small spoonful of my true nut butter passion: creamy peanut butter. I just can't quit it! I feel like this aversion is weird, too, because I love almonds. Love 'em whole, ... continue reading...
Inspired Week
This. Just such an encouragement, and always entertaining, from Marie. Did you know: nursing mothers are now being granted a tax break? Hopefully I'll be able to this time around, and we'll take help where we can get it! I'm still figuring out Evernote, but love these tips to organize your food life with this online tool! This is what I'm going to be using for this year's garden, and I can't wait. The seed catalog came yesterday and the full-on geeking out ... continue reading...
Toast with Ricotta, Honey and Toasted Pecans
Told you guys I was thinking about making this whole toast obsession into a thing here! I'm so incredibly late to the game, but a great toast snack can be the difference between a good afternoon and a great afternoon for me. And with all of the ingredient possibilities around our house I just haven't gone wrong yet. So. Have y'all ever had just a moment when you were overwhelmed with gratefulness? I had that yesterday when I was hanging with some dear girlfriends. I've never had a ... continue reading...
Weekend Things
You guys, this weekend was exactly what this girl needed. Warm weather, sunny skies, no plans - just a few days to relax and enjoy. It got me really thinking about rest and the fact that the boundaries in my personal and blog life have become very blurred. Blogging is my real job, one that I love and feel so privileged to have. It's also one that I worked my tail off to be able to do before Wes was born - early mornings, really late nights, and every waking moment not at my office job was ... continue reading...
Chocolate Coconut Macaroons
Fear not dear friends: these lovelies are not the time-intensive (although completely worth it) French macaron. There is a difference, although both are great gluten-free options if you're into that kind of thing, but one of the biggest and most appealing for me is the fact that macaroons are typically thrown together in minutes flat. It's Friday so I want to keep this short and sweet: you should totally make these this weekend. They're rich and chocolatey, and despite the fact that ... continue reading...
