Holidays!!

Hey Everyone! I hope all is well! We are doing pretty good over here! Baby A will be one month old tomorrow! Eeek, I can't believe it! She is such an angel, I am so lucky to have her! I went for my 4 week check up with my doctor yesterday and he said I could start exercising again! Whoohoo! Since I exercised for most of my pregnancy, he approved it early (4 weeks as opposed to 6 weeks). He said I healed nicely and just to start off slow. I hope to get some time to get on the treadmill later. T will be home early so I will go on when Baby A is napping and he can keep a look out. We are so excited for our first Christmas with her!!!


Anyway, for dinner this week, I made brown rice and green beans..
Lentils with Kale..
And for lunch, an amazing smoothie: Frozen Bananas, Sunwarrior, Almond Milk, Maca and Cinnamon. I've been adding cinnamon to my green smoothies (I've had more time to make them! Whoo!) and it's soooo good! I find it lifts all the flavors! My favorite right now is spinach, frozen bananas, cinnamon, vanilla Sunwarrior and almond milk.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday everyone!!! XOXO

Time does fly by! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful Christmas with A.

Your smoothie sounds delish, it's wonderful to add cinnamon this time of year.

Merry Christmas!

Hey Lauren!

So sorry I've been a little MIA. Quitting work really consumed me. But I wanted to say that it is a joy to come here and see you eating nourishing and wonderful food, as always. Love you, food soul mate!
