Baking from Scratch



iheartdaily.com



It’s a well-shared opinion that any recipe made with wholesome, pure, and sometimes higher-fat ingredients yields a much better result than anything made with low-cal, reduced fat, or chemical substitutes. 

Just as this applies to a typical loaf of bread, the same is true for the two little honey buns I’m baking right now…from scratch! So yes, I have traded in my 6-9 mile morning runs for long walks and I have changed my eating habits to include more food, sometimes with more fat.  Sometimes I eat larger meals, and sometimes I eat little meals with lots of snacks mixed in, and sometimes I even throw a little sugar into the mix (gasp!).  Yes, I am actually trying to gain (more) weight (gasp again!).  

So on behalf of all pregnant women in the world, unless you are our doctor, a close friend or relative (*note: level of closeness to be determined solely by the pregnant woman), please keep all comments on the quantity and/or quality of our meals to yourself.  In turn, we will let you get away with that unprovoked public rubbing of our lower abdomen.

And with that little rant out of the way, I am going to have a snack while I think about dinner.
