YouTube has sucked me in lately, and some indiscriminate surfing led me to MamaNatural. Holy moly, I’m so glad it did. This Mama has a gift. My kids wanted to know what was so funny as I grinned like an idiot at the computer screen. There is one on cravings, tropical smoothies, and a fun [...]
A good healthcare provider is going to care about your nutrition. They just are. After six years in and out of the care of some incredible midwives, if I learned only one thing it was to look at your diet first. Your food is your fuel, and however cliche it might seem, your body is [...]
Winter has been half-hearted this year, with mild temperatures that I won’t come close to complaining about. Instead of playing outside in snow suits and galoshes, we’ve been in jeans and barefeet. But it doesn’t stop us from coming in looking for soup to curl up with. Here are some amazing looking soups that I’m [...]
For those of you who have followed along since the beginning of this blog, through my pregnancy and first year with MoxiLady, you know that meal planning is a challenge for me. I don’t enjoy it, and often the meal plans come late or not at all as I stall to organize my thoughts and [...]
What a whirlwind this year has been. I honestly cannot believe it has been nearly two years since I began blogging here and a full year since Moxi was born. With that in mind, it’s not surprising I wound up taking off a full month of writing at the end of this year. From birth [...]
Since I’ve had such great success with Bob’s Red Mill’s pancake mix and Namaste’s Pancake and Waffle Mix, I thought I was on a roll when I grabbed the All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Mix, also from good ol’ Bob. The bag says 1:1 replacement for regular flour in any recipe, so I took that [...]
Just about every year, we go to my inlaws for Thanksgiving. Usually, we have very little to do with the menu, but this year it will be more “potluck” style. We are bringing the sides, which is exciting and terrifying all at once. On one hand, it gives us the freedom to make sides that [...]
Disclaimer: I make no claims or promises that this is healthy or even good for you in any way. It’s pure indulgence. Wonderful, ridiculous indulgence. Because of that, I made 2 batches of regular pancakes and just jazzed up the last 4 for Hubby and I. We didn’t need any more than that. Yum. I [...]
The combination of darker, cooler days and indulgent holiday foods at every turn makes me feel like a mama bear getting ready to hibernate. I must consume All The Food before it’s gone and Spring brings produce. How boring is that? It’s hard enough on a body that isn’t pregnant, but stick that bun in [...]
I’ve been in a bit of a creative rut these past few days, and unfortunately, that has involved cooking anything new (or writing much, as you can tell). So, tonight, I’m making something I’ve been craving for awhile, and maybe the combination of creation and indulgence will help spark some motivation. My mom taught headstart [...]
