Beets n Hummus.

Warm a pita. Spread hummus on it. Top with spinach, sliced or shredded beets, avocado, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt and pepper. So good!

Soup!

I made a delicious French lentil soup with Dino kale. Nice to eat real food instead of frozen veggies burgers and chips!

Quick Chilaquiles Casserole!

Fastest recipe to prepare when you've got a baby waiting for you. Simmered a quick sauce of sautéed onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and spices. Then I layered tortilla chips, black beans and corn from a can, the tomato sauce, vegan mayo and a bit of cheese and threw it in the oven for 45 minutes.  It was yummy!

Banana bread.

Made this gorgeous bread this morning with 2 very ripe bananas. So sweet and delicious with coffee or tea.

No new food pics today.

Hey all! Nothing new today in food. Since Hank was born three weeks ago today, I've been living on Boca burgers, sandwiches, baked Lays chips and sometimes soups if I have time to make it! I miss making nice meals but hopefully I'll get to do that again soon. In the meantime here are some pics of Hank Bowie!

Some eats.

I've had precious little time to prepare meals so Mr. Mouse has been so helpful with my meals and also with the babe. Here is a delicious Gardein fish fillet sandwich with tartar sauce made with mayo and relish.

These are amazing pizzas with Gardein meatballs and Trader Joe's mozzarella. I had a packet of ready made dough in the fridge but it had gone bad so I used pita bread and sandwich loaf. Turned out great!

Recent pic of Hank Bowie, now 2 weeks old. How is it that newborn babies change so much everyday? Blows my mind. Enjoying every little moment!

Welcome Baby Mouse!

Just wanted to pop in to let you all know that my baby was born on February 11th at 9:38pm via c-section. I labored for 17 hrs and tried everything I could to deliver him the normal way. Baby was too big and wouldn't come out! So after a quick surgery, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful sound of my baby's cries and the exclamation of the Doctor and nurses  saying "He's a big baby!!!" I cried and cried and when they brought him over to us and placed him into my husband's arms, I was smitten. 

It was an amazing experience and an emotional one. It'll be one week tomorrow that we've had him and we are so very thankful. I cry every time I tell my birth story or even think about it. I am so glad we are all happy and healthy.

 Introducing Baby Hank. 

Edited to add: His name is Henri Bowie (aka Hank)!
