Walnut Pesto Chicken Salad
This Walnut Pesto Chicken Salad is a versatile recipe you can use for so many things! We had some friends over for dinner this weekend. It was a casual gathering that we planned at the last minute, so I was making the risotto that was already on the menu before we were decided to have guests ...

40 Fabulous Healthy Fall Recipes
This is the first week that I feel like fall has really arrived. Where I am the leaves are nearing their peak color, the air is cold, and my summer clothes have been put away. I had fun sorting through all my fall recipes for this post. There are so many I won't be able to enjoy this year ...
What this breastfeeding mama eats in a day
The last 5-7 months, as I've figured out Luke's food intolerances, I've had new challenges when it comes to eating. I've cut dairy, soy, nuts, and wheat out of my diet. When you suddenly have to avoid foods that have been staples for you, it can be daunting. There are days when I get frustrated ...
9 months
9 months already? Yep. I can't believe it, either. It's been almost a year since this little guy decided to make a quick, early appearance. He came into the world in an exciting fashion, and it's been a wild, fantastic, joyful ride ever since. He had a well visit with his pediatrician this ...
8 months
Luke turned 8 months old this weekend. See those windows above? They don't stand a chance of staying clean. The baby who used to lay contently, playing with toys on a blanket while I was able to do things like unload the dishwasher, is gone. Long gone. He now crawls (fast!) everywhere, pulls up ...
Operation Eat More Vegetables: Sunny Orange Broccoli
Ever since Meghan (3 3/4 years old) was a toddler, I've used the feeding philosophy outlined in Ellyn Satter's book, How to Get Your Kid to Eat...But Not Too Much. The gist is that I can control what I feed my child, I can control when she eats, but how much she eats is up to her. Satter advocates ...
Our journey with breastfeeding and MSPI
Warning: this post is going to be graphic. I can't write a post about Luke's digestive issues without going into details about his stools. I figured if I'm going to talk about his stools, I might as well include pictures (which I've taken to show his doctors). I know when I was googling "blood ...
10 delicious ways to curb your sugar cravings without sugar
This year for Lent, I gave up sugar. Sugar is a broad term, so let me clarify. I did not give up fruit or unsweetened dried fruit. I did give up sugar, whether refined or unrefined (like Sucanat and turbinado sugar) and other high-sugar sweeteners like maple syrup and honey. Even though natural ...
Nutty Apple Quinoa Breakfast
Most sources say that a pregnant woman needs around 70 grams of protein a day. Recently I've been reading a book that suggests it's better to get 80-100 grams a day. That's a lot of protein! When I kept track of what I ate for a day (What This Pregnant Mama Eats) I totaled 74 grams of protein. ...
Favorite fall recipes
Just a few weeks ago, I was clinging to summer with all my might. It's not so much that I don't like fall; I actually love it. There's one little thing that I don't like, however. Autumn's arrival means that winter is on its way and I don't like winter. Not even a little bit. So, summer ...
