The Romanesco is very easy to prep and cook with roasting being the most preferred way to eat it. It doesnβt take too many ingredients to bring out the flavor. My recipe below has a mix of nutty, tangy and acidic flavors. Once roasted those little florets are so irresistible to pop into your mouth.
Read MoreYou may have already discovered that shopping for maternity clothes can be a real drag. Itβs difficult to find cute attire that you actually want to wear, especially during the time of pregnancy when youβre already feeling big and bloated.
The good news is that thereβs actually plenty of non-maternity clothes that will get you through the 9 months of pregnancy. You will also find that these new wardrobe staples will come very much handy during your postpartum months while your body is adjusting back to normal.
In this blog post Iβm giving suggestions on cuts and styles of dresses, pants, tops, leggings, tunics and more that arenβt necessarily maternity clothes but you can wear for each trimester. After my two pregnancies Iβve learned a thing or two about hacking my closet to fit my growing baby bumps.
Because maternity clothes are so drab, my recommendation is to find wardrobe gems that celebrate pregnancy and mark the special occasion. Not to mention the fact that pretty dresses make motherhood more fun. You want to find clothes that make you feel good and ultimately extend your regular wardrobe. Depending on your style you may even want to flaunt your belly. Do you girl!
Read MoreYour 30th birthday is truly a milestone event unlike any other, especially if you celebrate it while pregnant. When you enter into your 30βs era, your life tends to shift and your priorities change. You begin to settle down and focus on big picture life changes. This is all particularly true when youβre about to become a parent to a new baby.
If you happen to be celebrating your 30th birthday while pregnant, you may be wondering how you can still commemorate this special occasion. This particular birthday is known as the βDirty Thirtyβ which can imply partying with alcohol and shenanigans. Well obviously the pregnant birthday girl will be responsible and not partake in any unruly or unhealthy exploits. But donβt worry, you can still live it up and have plenty of fun.
This guide is filled with pregnancy-friendly party and activity suggestions. All of them are great choices for any point in your pregnancy, no matter what trimester youβre in during your birthday. I myself have done all of these things during my own pregnancies so I speak from experience. Trust me when I say that you can enjoy plenty of get togethers with friends and family to make your birthday memorable without compromising your baby's health.
Read MoreThis pasta salad may be easy to make, but it really delivers when it comes to flavor! Youβve got the tangy and creamy ranch sauce, smokiness from the bacon and a dash of fresh zest from the veggies. The protein from the chicken really makes this a hearty side dish, and it can even be a quick leftover main dish lunch!
Whenever I have a BBQ gathering coming up, or I need to make a potluck dish for work, this is one of my go-to recipes. If you have a busy schedule, you can make it ahead of time and leave it the refrigerator overnight. It can be served warmed up or at room temperature, either way its delicious!
Once youβve got all the ingredients purchased, prep work for this recipe just requires chopping up the veggies, cubing the chicken and mixing up the sauces. Next itβs time to cook the pasta and bacon, chop the bacon, and then mix it all up. If youβre working diligently, you can make this recipe in under 30 minutes, and it yields a large amount of pasta salad to feed a crowd.
Read MoreSkirts are a closet staple that are fun to wear all year long, but shorter lengths can be impractical once the season starts to turn. If you want to continue enjoying the easy and chic vibe that they give to your outfits, then midi skirts are your best bet.
The mid-calf length minimizes leg exposure, so you can wear midi skirts even when temperatures are starting to drop.
Todayβs midis are also available in a variety of fits, from the narrow and sleek style to the popular A-line design, which starts fitted at the hips and then flares out to the hemline.
