Sweet Little Ones

Late this afternoon, I drove out to pay my friend Lynsie and her newborn a visit and bring her some goodies. Remember Lynsie from Body Pump at 40 weeks? Little D was born 10 days ago and I had the pleasure of holding him for over an hour today. SO CUTE! He spent most of the time sleepin’ in my arms, with the occasional wiggle.

And this sweet kitty greeted me from the window! Orange cats everywhere : ) This one was named Tigger!

When I finally got back home, all of a sudden I was starving! Like “I can’t think or do anything until I eat something” starving. So odd how fast it came on. I wonder if my run (short as it was) suppressed my appetite for a while and then it caught up with me because I didn’t feel hungry at all while at Lynsie’s.

Cocktail hour snack! Apple + sunbutter + graham cracker square + one more square in my mouth

Dinner tonight was super easy and made from scratch! Made from scratch by someone else! When I was really sick about week 7, Karen took me to Mona Lisa Pasta and told me to stock up on their gourmet frozen pastas since the thought of cooking was out of the question at the time. For some reason I have been hoarding this cheese lasagna for…3 months!? (Funny how fast you can calculate time when you’re counting weeks 😉 )

IMG_8602-2Blog

An hour later, dinner was steaming hot and delicious. This lasagna was practically homemade since everything at Mona Lisa made from scratch and composed of real food. It tasted wonderful!! The cheese on top was salty, the blend of ricotta and marinara was perfect and the noodles had a lovely doughy taste that I loved (I believe they were made in house too!) I would totally get this again. 1.5 pieces for my appetite!

Since I DO feel like cooking now, I sautéed up some kale and zucchini to go alongside. Seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice, of course.

Really good dinner! Tomorrow and Saturday I’ll be working at the bakery all day, so we’re getting in some last-minute relaxin’ now!

    That’s so fun that you got to hold a newborn for over an hour. I imagine it’s even more special since you’re pregnant! Yum, the lasagna looks amazing.

    Cheesy!!! I visited the Vienna GH today for the sole purpose of getting Naturally Nutty (the jar I got 2 weeks ago is gone!). I was disappointed to find out they don’t carry it. Gah! I consoled with some frozen chocolate bliss cookies—have you tried those frozen?! zomg

    What a cute little nugget! I love holding babies when they’re ‘fresh outta the can!’ LOL I love it when they’re all sleepy, totally dependent on you and have that great baby smell. Sigh.

    That dinner looks DEEEElicious!

    Homemade lasagne is the best…just can’t stomach the store bought ones…I think it is the sauce…once you’ve tasted homemade…there is no going back! That one does look yummy!

    I’ve made similar lasagnas in the past in individual pans when I had time and then pulled them out later during hectic times, exams, etc.

    You could probably make similar versions in your down time now to use later when the little one comes along.

    Aaww, he is adorable!
    It’s amazing how fast they grow, whenever I look back at my 10 months old’s newborn photos, I’m thinking “she was so tiny!!!!” It’s amazing how the face changes every week too!

    We’ve a local place that makes all their own sauces and pasta. I love to pick up their stuff when cooking doesn’t sound appealing but homemade still does. They have an awesome black bean ravioli that is my favorite.

    That lasagna looks delicious! While I cook for one (ME!), I love to make a larger than I can eat tray of lasagna and then freeze the extra pieces individually so it’s an easy reheat for other dinners. 🙂

    Have you finished Lost? I need to find a good marathon-watching series. When you say you get hungry all of a sudden – how do you feel your hunger? Do you actually get stomach hungry or headache, irritable, etc.?

    Aww, baby is precious. Dinner looks fab I’ll have to replicate it. Wish we had places to pick up real food and pop in the oven for dinner…that would be so nice! I guess I could get in the habit of doubling up dinner and freezing but who wants to do that??

    Yum! I love lasagna! I recently made lasagna using whole wheat lasagna sheets and no cheese but I used lots of eggplant, spinach, sweet peppers and delicious tomato sauce. It was amazing! No one noticed the cheese was missing…everyone asked for seconds and thirds 🙂

    Do you find that overnight oats keep you full longer than stove top oatmeal because of the added protein ( I use greek yogurt)? I’ve noticed that I get hungry for lunch sooner when I have stove top oats even though I add chia seeds and healthy fats. Any suggestions to boost the protein in stive top oats? Thank you so much Kath!
