.a quick hello.

Just wanted to let y'all know I haven't forgotten you! :)

I am working on a pretty big project that is taking longer than I thought it would. La bebe doesn't always cooperate and the man has been working insane hours so, things just don't get done quite as fast as I wish they would. Here is a little sneak peek though!

I have a few small things on my to-do list that I will try to get up ASAP though.

In other exciting news, I've been busting my ass at the gym and have lost 20 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight so far! Whoohoo! Go me!

.i'm back baby.

And feeling awesome! To those who are new to my blog, welcome! To the oldies, but goodies, you will notice some changes. Like the blog name, for instance!

I decided to reinvent this little ol' guy into something more indicative of what I will be blogging about. I'm still going to post recipes and deliciousness, but I also wanted to be able to share cute crafts, funny stories, adventures in parenting and, well, nik-naks.

I'm not sure what my blogging schedule will be, but I know I need one. I have very clearly failed at that in the past. I now, however, have a nearly 6 month old bundle of joy that sleeps through the night in her own crib and blogging is something fun I can do in my free time that makes me feel good and like myself. If anyone has a thought about a schedule I would love to hear it!

Right now I'm just taking things one day at a time, getting back into the kitchen, watching la bebe grow in leaps and bounds and loving life!

.hello dearies.

Yeah, nothing too exciting, I just wanted to pop in and say hey. I've been in the kitchen a little bit in the last few weeks but haven't made anything noteworthy. In fact, I'm kind of bummed, today is my birthday and I have nothing to share with y'all. I might saute some veggies for dinner but that's about it. No cake, no wine, nothing to write home to mom about. In fact, I ate a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich for lunch. I'm pretty sure that's a blogger faux pas.

Anyways, if anyone would like to send me a nanny that would be great. I could definitely cook and clean then. :) Until I get a nanny though I'll just spend all day spoiling the baby and watching Netflix.

.let's talk baby.

Hey! Just dropping a quick update. I had my beautiful, amazing, perfect baby girl last Friday! The little stinker was a week late but so worth it.

What this means, however, is still no cooking or new posts from me. I will be getting back in the kitchen as soon as I can, but it will likely be a little bit. We are busy working out schedules and routines and learning to be kick ass parents, which is a little more important to us right now.

Check back though! Once I have something for y'all I will try to make it the tastiest something out there!

.dear me.

I am terribly sorry with the lack of posts, folks. No excuse, I just haven't been cooking much. Why you ask? Oh, no reason really..... just a little thing called morning sickness. Bleh!

And actually I don't know if I should even call it that, as I have gotten off quite easy. It's been more like mild-nausea that spikes when I am around food. So yeah, I've generally stayed out of the kitchen lately.

I will be up and at 'em in no time though. And I have been finding some awesome things that I want to try!

I feel like I should end this by telling you I ate Kosher Dill Hot Sauce Flavored pickles, for breakfast. Yeah.

XO

.hey y'all.

So, there hasn't really been much fun happening in my kitchen for the last few days. Lots of egg salad sandwiches, easy pasta, crackers with cheese, and then we ate out for sushi..... yeah. I love to cook but sometimes a few days go by when we're happy eating sandwiches for dinner. This week has been one of those times.

I will add though, that a boca burger (vegan original), cooked with a teaspoon of olive oil in a saute pan, topped with an egg cooked over-medium (you know, not over-easy but not quite over-hard), with a dash of salt is pretty much the most delicious post-workout food ever.

Go on. Go try it. I promise.

Cook on!
