A day in the life…

Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night.  Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup.  Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again.   Make breakfast #1.  A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas.  I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does).  Play on the computer.  Respond to emails and blog comments.  Make & prep food… Read more >

Reginald’s Homemade [giveaway]

Remember when I totally teased you guys, showing off these amazing nut butters?    So far I’ve tried the cinnamon molasses cashew butter and the cashew nilla cashew butter.  [Drool] And as you can probably guess, both were outstanding.  They’re the kind of nut butters that are so unique you can’t quite put your finger on what it is about the flavor that’s so good, but you want to keep digging your spoon into the jar over and over again.  The cinnamon molasses one has a cookie like flavor to it, while still being very… Read more >
