When Life Gives You Lemons . . .

This week the Blueberry is the size of a lemon! The little lemon has had a variety of food experiences this week while Jacob's been off fighting fires. From a baked potato dinner to many servings of farmer's market multigrain toast with Mark N.'s strawberry jam. Then in an attempt to work in some protein, I grilled up some elk tenderloin steaks (which is no small feat for me if you know of my distaste for animal blood). They were delicious with garlic toast, as a horseradish sandwich and finally in a cold whole wheat pasta salad with fresh veggies. Now this is not to say that there wasn't an emergency trip to Dairy Queen and late night "ski doughnut" cravings (thanks to Tesha!), but this week healthy eating prevailed. In the spirit of good choices, I forced Jacob to watch a little "Pregnancy for Dummies" between episodes of "Royal Pains" and "Burn Notice" last night. Thank goodness for the bribe of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia FroYo to keep him engaged! Well, since I haven't gained any weight (although some has shifted around) yet this pregnancy, I'm off to have a doughnut before lunch with the Henrie Clan!
