I want to eat everything
Wow, I thought I had a hearty appetite when I was pregnant! Now 3 plus months into breastfeeding I want to eat all the time!!! And facebook doesn't help matters any. There are a ton of tasty videos floating around the interwebs with some awesome recipes...mostly desserts...like this one:

Recipes are guidelines, right?
I've said it before. I hardly ever follow a recipe exactly. Even when baking I add more spices than required because I love flavors! Tonight my pregnant self decided to try a new recipe I found on Pinterest. The name of the blog that featured this yummy photo is Bacon, Butter, Cheese & Garlic. The recipe? Baked Italian Chicken And let me tell you, the picture is SUPER enticing! See?
You want to make it now too don't you? And remember I'm pregnant, duh, so any blog that features some of my favorite ingredients must be a hit! The only issue I had with this when I started gathering my ingredients was that I noticed that the recipe doesn't include bacon....an oversight I'm sure! I also switched out minced garlic for the garlic powder.
So I decided to add bacon! It is a common pairing with chicken (at least in my house), so why not?
While the bacon was starting to cook I got to chopping....onions and tomatoes
The onions go into the pan with the bacon and the mushrooms (I got the pre-sliced)
While those are cooking I put the chicken in a pan...
And melted the cream cheese and mixed in everything else, and ran out of room in my bowl to add the spinach, so I just covered the chicken with it...
Then topped it with the cheesy-bacony-yummy sauce!
And popped it in the oven at 350, for 30 minutes...I think it is going to take a lot longer than 30 minutes, I checked it halfway through and the chicken is still VERY raw looking.....we shall see...in the meantime I am having a VERY hard time not eating the other half of the Italian bread I purchased to go on the side....VERY hard....
Once I determined we would actually be able to eat this meal sometime tonight...I started the Linguine I am serving the chicken on. And put the garlic bread in the oven. And sprinkled the shredded cheese all over the top of the dish!
Next time I am going to brown the chicken in whatever is leftover from the bacon onion and mushroom pan....give it a head-start to cooking! But this time, I'm just going to chow down, because I'm hungry and this smells soooooo good!!!!
Enjoy!

Lucky 7
Week 7. Baby fish looks less like a sea monkey, and more like a baby human! There are stumps for the arms and the legs, and little buttons where the hands and feet belong! By the end of this week the palms of the hands will be visible. He is about the size of a blueberry, .25 inches long!
Baby's heart is larger and the brain and spinal cord is almost developed, no where near the right size or place but it's there. Muscles are present and coordinated enough that Baby Fish can move on its own. He may have a huge head, but he also has nostrils! This is what he should look like by the end of this week!
Some of my symptoms have all but disappeared...odd cravings have started, which has spawned my Instagram series #BabyMadeMeDoIt but you have to follow me to be able to see any of my photos...too many creepers. There are other symptoms...I haven't really been able to use the bathroom in almost a week...
