My cereal cravings are baaaaack. I can go a long time without thinking about cereal and not missing it a bit. Then, without warning, I need some. I don't know if this current craving is pregnancy induced or not, because this happens even when I'm not pregnant. I suspect it has something to do ...

Baked parmesan-crusted parsnip (er-daikon radish) fries
Every Wednesday since March, a box, full of local, organic vegetables lands on my doorstep. It feels like Christmas every week when I open it up and see what's inside. I realize that it's a strange person who gets excited about vegetables, but I do. I really do. The last few weeks I've seen ...
Sweet white bean apple dip with baked cinnamon chips
I turn into Snacky McSnackerton at night. I can't blame it on pregnancy, because even when I don't have a bun in the oven, my body needs to eat sometime between 8-9pm. Having something healthy (and tasty!) on hand is so important for me. If I don't, I end up forcing Tim to go out and buy my ...
Meghan’s birth story-part 1
The main reason I'm writing this is because I will discuss my birth plan for Baby Bean in my next pregnancy update. Those details will make more sense in the context of my experience with giving birth to Meghan. Another reason, perhaps just as important, is that every birth is a story worth ...
Meghan’s Pink and Yellow Princess Party
The Internet is a dangerous thing. You can look online to get ideas for everything from DIY home projects to cooking to party planning and it all seems so simple. So doable. Then you plan about fifty different tasks for a simple 3-year-old birthday party that are "quick and easy" and the next ...
Pumpkin spiced white hot chocolate
This warm drink combines two of my favorite flavors: pumpkin spices and chocolate. Really, you can't go wrong here. Even though fall doesn't officially start until September 23rd, it was here the moment I took a drink of this spicy, comforting hot chocolate drink. When I saw this picture of a ...
Raw Vegan Corn Chowder
Whew! I'm back from my vacation and busier than ever. Why is it so much work getting back into the swing of things after returning from a trip? I can't complain, though, Michigan was beautiful and the time spent with family and friends was priceless. I was born and raised a Michigan girl, but ...
Vegan Chili Lime Lentil Tacos
When I track all the food that I consumed for a day (check out the post What this pregnant mama eats), I realized two nutrients I need to make sure I'm getting enough of each day: protein and iron. This is important for anyone eating a plant-based diet, but especially important for a pregnant ...
What this pregnant mama eats
Yesterday in my 19 week pregnancy update post, I told you I was going to give you a peek into my daily eats as a pregnant woman. This was prompted by an article I read in the recent issue of FitPregnancy that gave a detailed list of exactly how much of each nutrient pregnant women need on a daily ...
Vegetarian Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
I don't think I posted one dinner recipe during my first trimester. That's because I didn't create any new recipes. Most of our dinners were 20 minute projects that I threw together while trying to fight off nausea. We had a lot of egg sandwiches for dinner. Now that I'm feeling better (for ...
Vegetable and Fruit Loaded Wraps
This lunch was a quick, grab-whatevers-in-the-fridge-and-throw-it-in-a-wrap kind of lunch. I wanted to share it with you, though, because it was even better than I expected. If you need some lunch inspiration, here it is. I don't know if it's pregnancy or just plain summer, but I've been ...
Big BIG news
Let's start today's post with a pop quiz. I like to keep my readers on their toes. If you're a regular reader, you know that I've been posting with less frequency than usual. I'm sure you've been wondering why and I don't want to leave you in the dark any longer. Let's see if you can guess the ...
