Eating for Two

Well here I am.  I know you've been wondering what's been going on.  Here's the truth...for the last 2 months food in general has disgusted me.  I couldn't even look at my own blog because that last post about the steak wrap would make me want to throw up.  It's sad, but true.  I am slowly coming out of my food nausea where soon I should be able to think more about food and hopefully get back into experimenting with recipes.  For awhile we might focus on baking.  We'll see.

The truth is morning sickness is not fun.  It makes you do crazy things, like eat cereal for dinner. 

But!  I am now 15 weeks pregnant and have most (but not all) of the nausea behind me.  Last week was the first week in a long time that I was able to meal plan without gagging.  There's still some foods out there that make my stomach turn (Asian cuisine in general for some reason), but for the most part I can get back to more varied dinners which don't include cereal.

So, I'll try to keep this blog updated.  Although I'm sure it'll become more about being pregnant than about cooking.  I can't help it, that's just where I am in life.

Biggest disadvantage to being pregnant - not being able to eat cookie dough.  Last month I made chocolate chip and sugar cookies and all I wanted to do was stick my face into the large bowl of dough.  This is illegal in the pregnancy world though.  I refrained.  I mustered all the will power that exists and managed to resist.  But it was difficult.

Biggest advantage - eating for two!  Bring on the food!
