Adding On: Week 24

I've been meaning to start this blog weeks ago to document the growing life inside of me, amongst other changes going on in our lives.  For those that haven't heard, we're having a little baby girl and we're ecstatic!  I still have 16 weeks to go, but I cannot wait to hold that little girl in my arms.
You'll probably hear a lot about her, plus a few other things we have going on.  I might throw in a few recipes here and there, as well.  Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

I will not be deprived!

It's been 1 week without meat and all I want is a milkshake.  So being that I am who I am, I will still attempt to get my "milk" shake and not break any vegan "rules." Since I've been wanting one for a few days I decided to google vegan ice cream recipes.  To my surprise there were TONS.  Ice cream flavors such as cake batter and peanut butter chocolate chunk.  I can make those and add in some coconut milk or soy milk and VOILA milkshake. Honestly, meat does not even sound appetizing to me.  But meat hasn't sounded appetizing since I watched that documentary.  Now, I would very much like some cheese or yogurt, but I am surviving. I absolutely love the new things that I am trying, though.  I've made black bean hummus and black bean burgers.  Both are ABSOLUTELY amazing.  I love that my refrigerator looks extremely healthy and I can grab any snack that I want and not make a "bad" food decision. On a side note, tonight is our nigh...

So I did some research (what would I do without google) and apparently there are some interesting, vegan-friendly ways to make toast. Option One: Toast, with olive oil, crushed red peppers and garlic salt. Hopefully Michael doesn't mind my breath after that one. Option Two: French toast, with tofu and soy milk....not a huge fan of tofu Option Three: Toast with hummus or guacamole Looks like an open mind is needed for this journey. And as promised, starting weight: 170.0 (no judgement, I did have a baby recently and have had to have a sedentary lifestyle due to complications) Disclaimer: Due to nursing, I have decided to drink one glass of soy milk in the mornings to keep up my calcium and vitamin D.  ...
