Recipe: Curried Greens and Chickpeas

Filed Under: Recipes 6 Comments

My favorite Indian dish is palak paneer. The creamy spinach and salty, firm cheese cubes…mmm! This recipe is sorta like saag paneer (apparently the difference between saag and palak is that palak is always spinach, but saag can be any kind of green). But I almost don’t want to tell you that because I don’t wantRead the whole post >>

22 Weeks.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 11 Comments

How far along? 22 weeks. How big is baby? 11  inches and 1 pound – a spaghetti squash, apparently. Total weight gain: + 7 pounds? My scale battery died this week. Updates: Pretty uneventful lately, which is how I like it. I had to swap out more non-maternity shirts and I made a list of “things to buyRead the whole post >>

Filed Under: Frugality & Saving Money 17 Comments

This helped me. It might help you, so I am telling you about it! This is going to be unglamorous. Prepare yourself. (Since, you know, I’m usually the epitome of glamor.) I mentioned that a ton of Gabe’s baby clothes were stained – I put them away clean, and 3 years later, they are magicallyRead the whole post >>

January Update + February Intentions

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 19 Comments

Ugh. January. I had so much hope for you! And then you brought a million (6) snow days that reduced my work time and a pregnancy scare that sidelined me for a week. So cruel. Add to that an awful cold that won’t quit and the return of daily pregnancy sickness and I’m feeling ratherRead the whole post >>
