WIAW: The Pregnancy Cravings Make an Appearance
Welcome to WIAW! These posts are so fun to share. During WIAW posts, I share all my meals with you guys. WIAW is about celebrating what we all have in common: we all eat.
WIAW is also about sharing inspiration each other. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen a recipe idea or a meal from another blogger and implented it into my weekly routine.
Anyways, without further ado, let’s dive into this WIAW!
Yesterday morning, I woke up just before seven am. (Side tangent: I used to wake up at five every morning before getting married, now seven is a struggle. I blame it on baby T. I don’t even know myself anymore ;). Okay, enough tangent.)
After packing a lunch for Landon and sending him off to work, I whipped up a batch of my weirdest pregnancy craving thus far.
Enter: a big bowl of oatmeal (made with milk; I’ve never made it with milk before I got pegnant. The weirdest part about this oatmeal is instead of topping it with honey, brown sugar or maple syrup, I’ve been adding a dash of salt. And nothing else. Weird. (At least for me.)
After breakfast, devotions, blogging, and house cleaning, I headed out for a five mile run.
The weather was so perfect. Baby T and I love to get in our exercise. And we nailed our goal pace time. Hello, lovely endorphins!
I got home around noon, hungry and ready to eat. I knew that my sweet potatoes would take a while to cook so I snacked on some carrots.
After getting cleaned up, my sweet potatoes were done (praise!)
Does anybody else love sweet potato fries (homemade of course)? They are my favorite! Also, notice- all pregnancy cravings represented: salad, cheese, sweet potatoes. Hello yum.
After a couple hours of cleaning and working on business, I grabbed a snack to hold me over until dinner.
Enter: healthy 3 ingredient brownie bites (!) and a tube of Chobani yogurt. I feel like such a kid eating these yogurt tubes…no shame.
A little later, Landon and I had a business meeting. Before we had leave, I whipped up a quick batch of chicken fried rice.
It was a little untraditional because I didn’t have a lot of veggies on hand, but I thought (and Landon did too, wife win!) it turned pretty good.
Chocolate seemed to be okay yesterday, (it’s been a hit or miss around here), so I ended the evening with a mug of hot cocoa- hello delicious.
All in all, it was a pretty delicious day!
And that’s it for today friends. Catch you all tomorrow with a “Thinking out Loud.” Make it a great day!
