I guess I have babies on my mind. I wonder why. Oh yeah, maybe because I've got one sitting right over my bowels, waking me up at night with contractions that disappear just when I'm about to call Labor and Delivery and makes me, in general, look fat. Today I am celebrating two days post due.… Continue reading Baby countdown #4 Baby Carrots in Lemon and Garlic
Baby countdown #3 Greek Salad Flavored Cheese Ball
D-day has come. And gone. Alas, I am still a hot air balloon. On the bright side, the baby has been moving well this morning. On the not-so-bright-side, I'm still a hot air balloon.

Baby Countdown #2 Slow-Cooker Easy stuffed Peppers
Hello? Don't hang up! I'm still there! even though I came quite close to losing my operating room virginity this very afternoon.

Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread
So my due date is tomorrow. And just to make things interesting, I woke up this morning at 6 AM with regular contractions. Regular, that is, until my kids woke up an hour later. I guess the sight of two wild haired, pajama clad toddlers stomping towards the bed was enough to scare even the contractions away. So instead… Continue reading Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread

Fantastic glazed meatballs
A small update to this recipe: if, like me, you prefer your glaze slightly more savory then sweet, add another tablespoon of soy sauce to the mixture. That should take care of your sodium fix! Before we get to the details I want to take this opportunity and issue a serious warning. Do not make… Continue reading Fantastic glazed meatballs
Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken Curry
This delicious chicken curry recipe is dairy free, relatively low fat (yes, I know there is coconut milk in there but I did skip on the butter, cream and heavy yogurt) and definitely hassle free. It couldn't be easier to prepare. Similar to my Hungarian stew recipe, all the ingredients except the chicken are pulverized to form a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken Curry
