I had about 10 weeks with pregnancy one then I was able to eat most things as long as I didn’t have to cook them — and I craved asparagus! Pregnancy 2 totally different. Sick almost the whole way through and lost weight during the 1st trimester during which time I subsisted wholly on Cream of Rice — all I could eat! As for a healthy recipe that doesn’t require much cooking, sometimes we roast chicken breasts once a week then use them in cold wraps or on salads… and I also eat cottage cheese with cut up veggies.

p.s. EXCITING: 2nd trimester!! :)

I didn’t realize you were pregnant – I hope it’s smooth sailing from here on out! :)

I haven’t tried one of these green smoothies, but I have been seeing them everywhere these days so I may need to give it a go…

]]> Comment on Do Cookies Made With Farmers Market Butter and Eggs Taste Better? by Kirk http://mymorningchocolate.com/2009/10/07/cookies-butter-eggs-experimen/#comment-3555 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:31:19 +0000 http://mymorningchocolate.com/?p=531#comment-3555 This is incredibly helpful – South Mountain dairy products are fantastic, but I wasn’t sure how they would affect cookies given the chocolate/vanilla/sugar flavors that are so strong. Thanks for this post!

Glad to hear that you learned to love sour beef and dumplings. I didn’t like them as a kid either. Now I like the sauce the best.

It was as common as meatloaf as a kid for me and some friends. I tolerated it then and love it now.

Thanks for hosting!

@Julia: That’s right, your team is in there. Congrats! Is your son a Celtics fan?

@Beth: Oh good, I’m not the only one who is done with football. Thanks for the running encouragement! I’m getting slower by the day by am trying to hang in there as long as possible.

I was just in a waiting room where ESPN was on, and I couldn’t take it.

still running? That’s great!

How ironic, the Patriots DID make it into the Super Bowl and (ssshhhh!) I couldn’t care less! Honestly, the only time I’m really into sports is when my son is around because he’s such a big basketball fan and his enthusiasm is contagious! As for why it separated… I’m guessing not enough starch or the fat/starch combination was off…??

When your dip fails…make sauce. You get me. You really get me. And thanks for participating in Dipstock!

]]> Comment on A Lesson in Dough Perseverance by Jennifer Walker http://mymorningchocolate.com/2012/01/24/a-lesson-in-dough-perseverance/#comment-3546 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:34:23 +0000 http://mymorningchocolate.com/?p=4358#comment-3546 @Julia: I bet it felt good to throw that dough at the time. Sometimes you just have to throw the food away and start over. That’s what I had to do with my first batch of pierogi dough. It was so dry that I couldn’t think of any way to salvage it. Good point about modeling behavior for kids – I’ll really need to keep that in mind come June!

@StoriesAndSweetPotatoes: I agree that sometimes food just can’t be saved. You’re right, you do want to enjoy your meal in the end. Thanks for visiting!
