Mommy Blogging

Take a look at our new website..Loving The Life We Live

It is all about our new and exciting journey as a family.

Cravings.

I started getting cravings mostly around the end of the first trimester. I wanted fruit..fruit..and more fruit! Well...not only do I want fruit now, but in particular Grapefruit! This is a new craving of mine. I liked Grapefruit pre-pregnancy..but I wouldn't buy it all too often. The second that I saw it in the market yesterday, I knew that we had begun a new found relationship. I crave mostly the juices of it, but I also love the texture of the fruit. Next on my list, I need to buy a serrated grapefruit spoon, to make eating this fruit just that much more enjoyable.

A Satisfying Snack.

The craving for something salty, crispy, and simple seems to show up a lot these days. These roasted red potatoes are the perfect way to satisfy those cravings. Sprinkle them with sea salt and fresh chives, and you will not even need ketchup.

A Bun in the Oven

I have been out of the blogging world for awhile now. I am trying to get back into it, and I will. There is a a possibility that I might even start a new page, or just start from where I left off. I have been caught up in work, school, a lovely stomach virus, but most of all I have what most of you call a "bun in the oven." The baby is due in early November. It has been quite the experience so far. My life has started to go down a different path, and I love every minute of it!

I hope to begin cooking more and more now, that I am starting to get my energy and appetite back. I already have recipes waiting for me. I love this new experience in life, and I hope to experience even more and more adventures in the kitchen, in the months to come.

Fondue.

This weekend I have decided to throw a "Fondue Party" as a Valentine's get together. I am going to make a cheese fondue, as well as a chocolate fondue. I am excited, because I have been thinking about the foods to dip all week. I have had a fondue get together before, and it was a success..but I want to change up the recipes a bit, as well as the goods to dip. I will post photos after the soiree.
