Category: what we eat

One habit that stuck with me post-gestational diabetes (it disappeared once the baby was born) is working on getting green veggies with every lunch and dinner. Often this means salad as a side to whatever we are having. While Paul was deployed, he started eating this exact salad and since he's been home, we've been…

pizza no. 19 : BBQ chicken in a grill pan. occasion : I saw this pizza recipe on A Beautiful Mess where they cooked a pizza in a cast iron pan. We don't own one, but we have a cast iron grill pan and I wanted to see what the results would be. crust :…

I'm writing this post partly because I have gotten a few requests for specifics about my GD diet and what my meals look like. But I am also writing it in the hopes that six months from now, a stressed out pregnant woman will perform a google search for GD meal recommendations and wind up…

I found this recipe for almond butter pancakes on Pinterest and happily, all of the ingredients looked like something I could eat while in my GDM diet. Trouble is, I don't really need another breakfast option (my nut granola is working out well – heads up, I now make my batches with just 1/3 C…

pizza no. 11 : sun dried tomato deep dish. occasion : it's Monday night & we were celebrating the Seafoam kit launch. (Clearly, I am a little behind on sharing pizzas!) crust : I halved our whole wheat usual. Cooking instructions for deep dish differ than our normal pizzas. In addition to reducing the recipe…

One of my July goals was to buy produce only from the farmer's market. I'll be the very first to say that in Southern California, we have it easy. Our summer farmer's market carries a large variety of fruits and vegetables. Buying only from the market (that we're lucky enough to have set up across…

pizza no. 8 : pepperoni deep dish. occasion : it's Sunday and we've been talking about building a deep dish pizza for weeks. crust : our whole wheat usual. The first time we made this, shown above, I didn't cut down the recipe enough. We have since tried again and this time and I cut…
