I have returned from a pregnant pause. Get it? Pregnant? Husband and I will be expecting our first bundle of joy in April 2016. Little Meatball. Not finding out what we're having (bucking the trend!), until she arrives. And if I call Meatball a she, it's a gut feeling.
So here I am, back after two years. I tried my hand at writing erotica. It exists somewhere on the internet. Would I show my friends and family? Hell no. It definitely brought out some unsavoury characters, but I've also spoken to some people that are lovely, and those people are different; sometimes in a good way.
So, since 2013, life has been a rollercoaster. More highs than lows, but the lows always hit hardest. Finding out we were pregnant was a blessing. The silver lining of 2015. And finding out I had gestational diabetes was a kick in the guts. So, my diet has been overhauled. Let's be real for a moment here, it's not a lifestyle change. It was a wakeup call. "Change the way you eat, Eleni. Don't jeopardise your baby's health." Oof. Heavy.
So, as you know, most women (Mormon women especially), are users of Pinterest. While browsing through the somewhat endless posts on weddings and babies, I came across the recipes. My god, American women love to cook! They put me to shame. So tonight, after eating healthy for weeks, testing my blood four times a day, and a productive weekend of cleaning and house stuff with the husband, I decided to cook.
Chicken and Mushroom Casserole
Here are my before/during/after pictures. I've never floured chicken before. I am totally sold on this. It made it completely different tasting. And the review from my husband? "It was lovely, can I eat the rest?"
A winner in my books!
