Feeling Under the Weather...
I haven't been doing much cooking lately that's worthy of being posted. I've been trying to eat blander foods these past weeks as I'm now pregnant. While I'm excited about this new chapter in life with my husband, my stomach is definitely saying "NO" to experimenting with new recipes. I'm at the stage where no food sounds good to me.
I have found that I can't drink a glass of milk anymore - so to make sure I'm getting my milk/dairy in me, I have to make a milkshake with my dinner each night (milk, Breyers Light Double Churned Vanilla Bean ice cream, and a dash of vanilla extract). Mid-morning, I eat crackers with slices of cheese on them. For fruit these past few days, it's been apple sauce or mandarin oranges in pear juice. I sure hope this part of the pregnancy ends soon - I don't like not being able to make fun and exciting dinners and desserts. I did read online that ginger can help - must be why I keep reaching for the gingerale :) I also read that anything with lemons can also help overcome the nausea (maybe that's why I can only drink water with a lemon slice added). This morning I remembered that I had a frozen lemonade concentrate in the freezer, so I made myself some pink lemonade. This actually helped quite a bit. For dessert tonight, I made a loaf of Lemon Poppy Seed Bread. If it comes out good, I'll post the recipe for you this week.
I'm just praying for a healthy pregnancy that one day soon will let me spend more time in the kitchen cooking...I did read that nausea is a sign that things are going well - not sure who came up with that finding, but I'll accept it.
