Even looking at pics of food has been suddenly stricken from the list of Things I Love To Do. Not only have certain foods been less than desireable, the actual act of preparing foods (usually, one of my MOST favorite things to do in the day) has become seriously tiresome. when I have found the energy or desire to cook something I haven't been taking pictures of it, just glad I had something I was willing to choke down. well, there was this...
VWaV Fritatta, anyone? I always opt for a sun dried tomato and zucchini version.and roasted tamari pepitas,
those have been a great snack.oh, and i'm glad I could virtually live on pan-seared oatmeal
because as least it's good for me!otherwise it's fruit, easy veggie patties, and shells 'n chreese with peas galore!
what could be the culprit? I'm sure you're wondering. Well, today, on my most favorite day of the year (i tell ya, i love this day more than giftmas!) we got to take a peek at just what's draining me of my typical time in the kitchen...or should I say who....
Yup, this is our 12 week ultrasound of the little goblin I've been growing. I've been bursting at the seams to say something here but wanted to wait til now to do so. While the nausea is a bit better than it was, I'm finding great comfort in comfort foods that I've made and blogged about numerous times before or convenience foods that go from freezer or box to my oven or stove then my plate.so much for turning this blog into a whirlwind of amazing healthy vegan pregnancy meals for expectant moms! ;) while I hope that my new copy of Veganomicon (which I've already tagged in a ton of places the recipes I just can't wait to try) will revamp my blog soon, I think I'll be blogging only when the energy (or appetite!) strikes me for a bit. Tho, with chompers like we're seeing on this kid....
there's bound to be a LOT more vegan fare for the blogging in our future! ;)Until then, have a safe and happy Halloween!

CONGRATS!!! Isn't it amazing how something so small can make you feel so bad sometimes? I wish you the best with the pregnancy!!!
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. Your ultrasound pictures are adorable. I've never seen them so clear where you can see the tiny feet. Oh my. And those teeth! Who'd have thought?
Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy.

I've ordered my Veganomicon, I can't wait! (and I'm just as bad about posting lately; no one wants to see what I'm scarfing in between school and work - there would just be lots of pics of falafels and salads!)
I suspected as much from your comments.....how wonderful! Congrats!!!! I have 3 and it is lots of fun!
(now you will definitely need frozen chococlate covered key lime pie)

Just a lurker here who usually doesn't comment but since we are in the 27th week of a near-vegan pregnancy I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations! Good luck with everything! The food looks fabulous - I'm sure the baby is enjoying whatever you're making.
thank you all so much for your well wishes. words truly cannot describe the excitement we're feeling (or anxiety....suddenly time moves ever so sloooowly! ;)
you guys are THE best. i am consistently amazed and in awe of the beautiful community of like-minded people i've found here. if only we could all be neighbors...just think of the pot-lucks!
I'm a terrible lurker (forgive me), but I just wanted to say congratulations, good luck and I hope you get your appetite and energy back soon. =DDD
