I’m so excited to say that the past couple of days I’ve been feeling NORMAL! I mean, I still have the lower back pain, and I’ve been feeling more aching and tightening in my uterus area, but guess what I’m not feeling: nausea! I hope I’m not jumping the gun here, but I’ve had two days without nausea, and I am super excited about it. This might go along with that, but I’ve also noticed my appetite heading back to my normal level. Which means I may actually start enjoying cooking some good meals again (my menu planning has been really sad the past month).

So now to all of you (sisters, moms, aunties, grandmas, friends, and healthy-eaters in general): I am looking for quick and easy healthy meals. I have this book that I am going to start paging through, now that eating sounds pleasant again:
I’m excited to finally start looking through this book, but I also would like advice from all my favorite people. So things I don’t like: fish, nuts, beans (minus green beans), peas, and melon (minus watermelon). I also have a great grill master living with me (aka: the hubs) so bring on anything cooked on fire. I welcome one-pan meals and casseroles (hey, I’m a little lazy, guys), but a lot of my favorites are “comfort foods” and I’m looking for some that are more refreshing for summer. I need some good snack foods too… I’m going to try making hummus to replace my craving for salsa con queso, but other tasty snacks are welcome. So PLEASE pass along some yummy meal ideas for me!

Next I need my energy level to return completely so I can clean and organize this house! I’m eager to get some summer air in this house and get it nice and clean before it gets taken over by baby gear. 🙂
