Where did she go??

You may be wondering why I haven't been posting about all my wonderful recipes recently. The reason, I was sick. I had morning sickness, actually I had this weird variety of the same idea. I was nauseous all day but it was always worse at night. So, needless to say, I wasn't exactly in the mood to cook. That has passed, thank god. Now, I am dealing with low blood sugar. As my mother put it, "babies are like parasites, they don't care where they get the nutrients from, they'll just take it." If I don't eat like a Hobbit, I get dizzy, nauseous, and faint. (fortunately I haven't actually fainted yet.) So I eat like a Hobbit. I get up and have first breakfast, usually a small bagel, or a small bowl of cereal, or toast with peanut butter. Then I wait a little while and make second breakfast for me and Alex. This is usually scrambled eggs, and fried potatoes, and some vegan sausage. Then about two hours later I have early lunch, this is usually a piece of fruit, some cheese, a handful of nuts (raw or dry roasted unsalted) or a small salad. Then I get second lunch a little while later. This is often a bowl of soup and some veggies. Then I make dinner, lately just for me, this is sometimes leftovers from a big meal the night before, or sometimes frozen veggies and rice, with a little bit of chicken. (I can't stand the smell of fish right now, so I am not cooking with it very often. I try to save any red meat that I am going to eat for a night when Alex and I can go out together.) Then depending on how late dinner was, or how late I am going to stay up I get a second post dinner snackerel. Sometimes this is just a couple pieces of cheese and some crackers or a little bit more of dinner. Then I get desert, (sometimes not every night). Desert is usually, a Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich, or a small bowl of Sherbet.
So here I am eating 8-10 times a day, and it is only going to be more fun as I go along.
I will try to post some new fabulous cooking things soon. I am thinking some reviews might be in order, I have found some wonderful new HEALTHY, and easy products on the market.
