Not a lot going on to write about, but I see it’s been a week since my last posting. My doctor’s appointment for this Friday has been rescheduled for next Monday, so unfortunately I’ve got a few more days to wait and see. However, everything *seems* quiet and uneventful on that front, so [...]

A couple days ago, a package from Gramma Bonnie finally arrived. We were beginning to think it had gotten lost in the mail. Some goodies for Jesse (one of a million items we’ve ordered from Amazon that they refuse to ship to us, because they apparently have a problem shipping to APO addresses, [...]

I have no photos of our two most recent experiments, but thought I’d share the verdicts anyway. Last night I made “Baked Tofu Nuggets” from Nava Atlas’ The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. I presented them to the family as fish sticks, and we had them with cocktail sauce, potatoes, and green beans. Jesse [...]

I decided a couple days ago that I wanted to make a huge pot of a hearty vegetable soup to see us through lunches for the week. I looked in all my many, many cookbooks and compared recipes, but couldn’t find anything that looked any better than my own.

The doctor’s visit yesterday went much better than I was anticipating. I was hoping and praying for the best, but trying to prepare myself emotionally for the worst. At first all I could see was an empty sac, like last time, only at least doubled in size. The fact that it had [...]
Tonight we tried a second black bean burger recipe. This one is also from a fellow blogger, Kate at Vegan Ventures. We really enjoyed the taste and overall appearance of these burgers, but the consistency wasn’t what we were hoping for. Maybe the only “problem” is that we’re too recent converts to [...]
All told, it’s been kind of a rough week health-wise in our household. I’m worried about the pregnancy, although things seem to be looking up — the bleeding’s subsiding, the progesterone doesn’t seem to be knocking me out quite as much, and my spirits are much higher after my talk with the doc on [...]
Last night was another great pizza success. Sadly, Liam is coming down with a bit of a cold, and opted to pick away at a peanut butter sandwhich instead. Poor kid. I also think the vinegar in the topping was a little too much for him. What? Vinegar on pizza? [...]
Over the last week I have been absolutely everywhere on the emotional scale. It’s been pretty hard. Friday evening I was sure I was bleeding too much and that it was over. I called my doctor to see if I should bother continuing with the progesterone supplements. She was surprised to [...]
If I let myself think about it, it can be a daunting task to make sure our family is getting good, nutritious meals that everyone will eat and enjoy. Daily I consult recipe books, surf various vegan food blogs, and spend a great deal of time in the kitchen preparing new dishes. Enter [...]
