Baby meals
I’m one of those people who likes to have a tentative meal plan for the week. It makes it way easier to grocery shop, and since I’m usually frantically running around, if I have to plan and shop then cook at the same time…. well this is what happens. Cereal in a mug happens 😉…

Yep, still the same over here. Just looking at that pic makes me shiver. Crazy to think that if the rain keeps up, the mountains will be covered in snow this weekend! SNOW. <—something I rarely see up close, but admire from afar Arizona people are kind of funny about snow and rain, since we…

Red and green quinoa lentil salad
I’m going to go ahead and blame my tiredness on the weather. 46* and raining all day. That’s gotta be it. Almost every day this week, around 6 pm, I’ve hit a wall. I’ve done a pretty good job fighting through it, but as far as cooking/dinner goes, it’s been a little rough. Lots…

-I think the baby has definitely dropped. Everyone else seems to have noticed this too (“I don’t think you’re going to make it until your due date!” I don’t either but I’ll have to laugh if I go to 41 weeks without any sign of labor), since the little one used to be snuggled up…

Trader Joe’s copycat cookie butter (gluten-free)
Dear Trader Joe’s, I’m already addicted to your nut butters. I take a daily almond butter dip no matter what, and I don’t understand why you needed to come out with all of the crazy combos that I have to try. And I guess you came out with a chocolate almond butter, too? Well, that…

Hi friends! How was your humpday? It was a beautiful day over here (look at that sunset!), even though it was quite sad to hear that the Pilot’s family cat, Sam is onto greener pastures. He was 19 years old!!! We’ll miss you, buddy <3 The Pilot and I got to spend a little quality…
Read More →The girl who wouldn’t “moo”
The day I changed my major from Musical Threate to Finance, something changed with my personality. Anything that I wasn’t forced to practice and perform (singing, public speaking) on a regular basis… died. I was still dancing and teaching at the studio, so that wasn’t a problem, but class presentations became something I dreaded instead…

Verdict on the car front: negative. It needs about 7 things done in the nearish future (3 are immediate), so looks like we’ll be getting the necessary stuff fixed and trading in Betty this weekend. Thank you for the SUV suggestions! They were so helpful and I’ll be sure to let you know what we…
Read More →3rd trimester fuel
I’ve definitely eaten more pie and sweets in the 3rd trimester than any other. What can I say? ‘Tis the season and baby likes those treats! [mom made gf brownies… I love her] At the same time, I’m still focused on getting as many nutrient-dense foods as possible, since her brain is going through…

We found out Christmas lights are a major to-do in our neighborhood. We’re really happy with how our interior decorations came out –so festive!- and the Pilot put up Christmas lights for the first time. He did an amazing job, and we have a single strand of sparkly lights on the roof. I was in…
