  • What I Ate Today: Baby Eats!

    Now that Enzo is about 9 1/2 months old he’s been eating 3 meals a day. I’m trying to incorporate as many nutrients as I can throughout the day. Also, Enzo’s iron was low (about a point below what they like to see) so I’m trying to include iron-rich foods along with vitamin C foods…

  • What I Ate Today – Weekend Cooking

    I haven’t done one of these posts in a really long time. I always start the day with the intentions of taking photos of my meals and usually forget after breakfast. I did pretty good this time minus my snacks… Breakfast – two fried eggs on top of leftover roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini with…

    Another month has flown by! Baby boy is now 9 months old! As Joe said the other day, he’s entering into his fourth trimester… Enjoys: rolling and manuevering all over the floor in the upstairs game room, the puppies, still saying “da-da” for everything (no “ma-ma” yet!), any and every kind of fruit, other babies and…

  • Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad

    Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad

    It’s been WAY too long since I posted a recipe on here. To be honest I haven’t done much recipe creation and have been sticking to simple meals most of the time. About a month ago, Joe and I committed to eating vegetarian two nights a week in order to save money. When I buy…

    Can’t believe it’s time for another post! Enzo is getting so big and it’s fun watching him grow and change every day. Enjoys: bouncing, baby food pouches (just bought some reusable ones so I can make my own at home), saying “da da” (though I don’t think he knows what it means), using the sign language…

    Technically Mr. Enzo is about 7 1/2 months old but better late than never on posting! Enjoys: sleeping on his belly (just started this week!), bouncing in his jumper, chewing on everything and screaming (happy screams not bad ones). Nicknames: Bum Bum (I think this started because his cloth diapers make his bum look so huge!),…

  • Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    I’m not really sure this even counts as a recipe, more of an idea. I love using the slow cooker especially during the week on days that I work in the office. The only issue is planning ahead and making sure your ingredients are thawed and ready to go so you don’t have to worry…

    Wow…half a year! This last month has flown by. It’s so hard to imagine that in six more months Enzo will be a year old. I can’t even picture him that big. He’s changing so much every day. It’s hard to keep up! Enjoys: trying to roll from back to tummy but getting stuck on…

  • BBQ Pineapple Pork Pizza + Baby Update

    BBQ Pineapple Pork Pizza + Baby Update

    I’ve been obsessed with making this pizza crust since being pregnant. Over the summer I made pesto, chicken and veggie pizza with this paleo pizza crust pretty much every week. I’m already dreaming about that combination and can’t wait for basil to be back in season! In the meantime we’ve been making other pizza combos…

  • Salmon, Arugula and Pear Salad

    Salmon, Arugula and Pear Salad

    I just recently started eating salmon again. I was eating it a lot right when I found out I was pregnant and then the nausea hit around 6 weeks and no more salmon… I’m also pretty picky on where I buy my fish. Cheap fish grosses me out! I want to get it on our…

    I have not been doing very well at keeping up with monthly updates for Enzo! I cannot believe he’s already 5 months old. It’s crazy how fast time is going and I can imagine that it will continue to do so. Now that we are out of the newborn stage I feel like both Joe…

    This post is really difficult for me to write. There are some things that are so personal to me that it’s really difficult to share. Things that I feel truly ashamed of. Dealing with postpartum depression over the past three months has been one of those things. I’ve tried suppressing it, I’ve tried ignoring it,…
