Recipeless

I apologize for my long absence. And for not being completely honest with you. While all of the reasons I listed for taking a break from posting were true, I left a little something out. At the same time I came down with a nasty bug, morning sickness struck. Yes, we're expecting!! And for the last two months, food has turned into a nightmare. Just the thought (not to even mention the smell) of buying, cooking, or eating almost everything has been nauseating. Even looking at my blog made me queasy. So I had the best intentions of this being a "short" break, but I didn't know what I was in for.


The good news is I'm feeling so much better! I've reached 13 weeks (3 months) and the aversions are slowly fading. Some things sound good again. Especially sweets. Last night a made a pan of brownies... progress! (My goal- as if I have any control over it- is to recover in time to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. I can't imagine missing out on that one.) I'm due in early May and we are so excited! I hope to return to posting recipes again, but I can't say how frequently. This baby has already changed our lives drastically and I can only imagine how it will impact things once he/she is here.


I might seem absent but I check the blog daily for comments/questions and try to respond quickly. In the mean time I hope you can find some gems to tide you over among my 500+ recipes...

  11. Congrats. I've missed seeing your blog posts (been following for awhile), but yes, getting ready for/having a baby will change your life drastically forever. And that's a good thing. The food aversions are no fun though.

  13. Yay! I know exactly how you feel about not wanting to eat anything. I would feel queasy seeing pictures of food anywhere or if Matt even said the word "pork"! I threw up once at the grocery store and couldn't bear to go in again for several weeks. But hallelujah for the 2nd trimester! Congrats!
