Iron rich foods




Maaaaan. I really didn't want to be one of those people who talks babies non-stop. I wanted to keep this blog mainly about food and our cooking trials and tribulations - remember the stuffed grapefruit? Oh, the nostalgia.

But nevermind all of that. The truth is, I've got baby on the brain, literally. I mean, the hormones flooding through my noggin are truly overpowering. I'm incessantly plagued with baby thoughts - from What does this fetus look like? to Am I going to be some sort of overprotective parent who projects all of her insecurities onto her child? I mean, maybe my entire framework for childrearing is based on some false idea that most people think like me?!? Oh god!

Okay nevermind all of that either. You see, when the hormones flood your brain, it's easy to lose your train of thought and become instantly fraught with emotion.

I did start typing with a purpose. And the purpose was to share with you that I am again tolerating vegetables. I think I might be low on iron, so I've started eating more dark green vegetables and meat (see title).

Oh Baby


Yes, that last post was written by my husband-to-be. And yes, we're having a baby. Therefore, I don't feel like cooking anymore. Between my fluctuating tastes, sporadic "morning" sickness, and complete exhaustion, I've not been in the mood.

So what have we been eating? Pizza, french fries, peanut butter sandwiches, crackers, and the occasional leaf of lettuce. Jesse keeps pinching himself, wondering if he's in some sort of heavenly nightmare.

What's New

Oh yeah its been a while since the last post. So what's new? Well, besides having a kid and getting married ? Not much.

But we are, having a baby. And we are, getting married. So it hasn't left much time for cooking. Or so it seems. A full year of wedding planning gets crammed into two months, and suddenly nothing gets on the blog.

Was it planned. Yes, er but no. Ok now that you don't have to think about that question anymore, how about are we happy. Yes.

Anyway, cheerio, carry on, and don't look for any posts about making baby food, at least until the kid starts eating solids.
