		<description><![CDATA[This won&#8217;t be long, as the baby is about to wake up from a nap (in which case she&#8217;ll be hungry &#8211; she&#8217;s always hungry!). On March 14, 2013 (I have a Pi Baby!!!), Fern Alexandra joined our family and changed our lives. The last month has been amazing, exhausting and the best time of my life. As my life at home changes, so will change my business and blog. Stay tuned for more information &#8211; and more recipes, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know, somewhere along the line this blog got hijacked by my as-of-yet-unborn baby. Food is just nowhere near as  interesting as it was before. I&#8217;m still careful to get lots of fresh, whole foods into my body to nourish this (ever-increasing-in-size) baby. And I still have to eat foods that I enjoy, but getting pregnant makes you think about your priorities! So, I wanted to let you know what to expect in the near future: A really cool, totally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll keep this short and to the point. I love Reese&#8217;s Peanut Butter Cups. And I HATE their ingredients (have you read that list?!). Then one day, I stumbled upon THIS RECIPE. I&#8217;m a lazy chef and I love peanut butter. The recipe hung out in my browser for at least a month before I finally stepped up and made some magic. OH MY GOD. Why didn&#8217;t I do this sooner?! It&#8217;s pretty much healthy (no added sugar, no flour) [...]]]></description>

If you haven&#8217;t already read about how totally awesome my baby is, start here. When it comes to things out of our control, the kind of baby you have DEFINITELY is out of that realm (I never thought, &#8220;Whatif my baby doesn&#8217;t have two hands?&#8221;). I don&#8217;t care how many blogs you read about when to have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The impending ultimate life change of having a child definitely makes you think. And if you&#8217;re someone who gets anxious over lack of control (HELLO!), this is definitely an interesting time. As I write this, I&#8217;m 33 weeks pregnant, which makes that impending life change pretty darn close. Pregnancy (and from what I&#8217;m told, parenting) really take the control away. My body has not been my own for 8 months now. I couldn&#8217;t eat cooked vegetables for a while. Deep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a warning about marketing, and while the main subject is not food, the idea is still there. I HATE FEBREZE COMMERCIALS. Most air fresheners on the market are chemical cocktails and research indicates they can increase problems with allergies and asthma (if not also contribute to lots of other health problems). I mean &#8211; IT&#8217;S A BUNCH OF CHEMICALS THAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO BREATHE IN!!!!! To top it off, companies aren&#8217;t required to list all of their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mmm&#8230;.sugar (I write this only half an hour after eating some ice cream). I have been sensitive to sugar for as long as I can remember. And when you add that sensitivity to pregnancy hormones, let&#8217;s just say it gets interesting. With my diminished appetite and rapid fullness lately, I&#8217;ve been a touch picky with my food. More bread and simple carbs have found their way than I&#8217;d prefer (and my mood swings show it!). Thankfully I can eat cooked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds great, right? Don&#8217;t diet, live healthy. How happy would everyone be to never &#8220;diet&#8221; again? Perhaps some day the word diet will actually mean &#8220;what people eat&#8221; instead of some thing that someone goes on and off of, repeatedly. Sadly, this awesome tagline came from a commercial for Healthy Choice &#8211; Top Chef meals. Frozen and packaged foods CAN be useful. And there are definitely worse options out there than these products. I did my best to find you an ingredient [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We did it. My husband and I managed to combine both sides of our family into one giant Thanksgiving dinner. It was selfish really; we were tired of alternating between his dad&#8217;s house and my dad&#8217;s house every year. Altogether we had 29 people at our house on Thanksgiving (30 if you count the neighbor who stopped by to get an onion &#8211; 31 if you count Baby Banana). And OH, did we have food.  It was wonderful. Everyone loved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, all parents say their kid is special. And I do believe that each and every person is special. We all have our own gifts and talents. But, between you and me, some people have an extra bit of special. And while my baby isn&#8217;t due until March 2013, I KNOW my kid has that extra bit of special. Monday, October 1, my husband and I went in for my regularly scheduled ultrasound. All great news. The heart looks perfect. [...]]]></description>
