Hello from the land of diapers, baby toys and breast milk! Wow, did I just say breast milk? Funny how becoming a Mom lowers your inhibitions. Must be something about the whole labor thing or coming to terms with the fact that your clothes will never EVER be clean. If all I have on me is drool and milk it’s a very good day indeed! Anyhow, hello again. I’m back in the kitchen, with a baby on the hip, and looking forward to getting back to sharing some delicious recipes with you. Some will be healthy, family friendly and some will just be posted because they are just pretty darn awesome-regardless of calorie count. You can thank me later. Preferably after you’ve tried the recipe but BEFORE you try on those skinny jeans again.
I’ll also be incorporating some ‘Mommy’ blog related posts and other ramblings. I’ve often struggled describing my blog to others because I really don’t fit neatly in the ‘Food Blogger’ box. Now, I love food (I know you weren’t really worried) and I love writing about food, but I also LOVE writing about so much other stuff. This is my creative outlet and my life is not all about food. As such, expect to see a random assortment of posts about my workout schedule, mommy ramblings, or just a random thought about life in general. Having said that I know not everyone wants to read all about breastfeeding, starting solids., etc. While I plan to create a specific Mommy page I haven’t quite figured all the ins and outs of WordPress. So, for the time being enjoy the various topics and hopefully not too much TMI. If you want to hire me a housecleaner, nanny and personal chef then I can get to reading my WordPress for Dummies book. :-)
Also, just a quick reminder about the OC Bakery Crawl! The crawl is scheduled on September 10 (time and meet location is still TBD). I’ve been overwhelmed by the number of people who want in on the action. More people = more help to roll yourself home! If you’re in So Cal and would love to be a part of it please contact me. Also, if you have any suggestions for bakeries we should hit up please let me know those too. We’ll be voting on the final 3 or 4 bakeries in the coming week!
And by popular demand, here’s a recent pic of me and my boy. Have a great weekend everyone!

You are gorgeous, and so is he!!!!! SOOOOO bummed to be missing the OC bakery crawl, especially since it’s in my backyard. have fun!
Thank you! I’m sorry we’ll miss you at the crawl but I’m sure we’ll have another one. I went to Huckleberry again a couple weeks ago- fantastic as always!

Thank you!
Aww, love the pic of you & little man. So precious! I too don’t fit in 100% in the foodie box, but that’s okay, just write whatever you want girl! THis is your space. Can’t wait to join you on the bakery crawl.
Thanks for the encouragement! Can’t wait to see you either & the sugar high!
