Model behavior

You want to know the darndest thing? I used to be pregnant. Shocker, I know, since I have a little guy just one day shy of his 6-week birthday.

Anyway …

Here are some family photos shot while I was knocked up. I think I was about 36 weeks.

Disclaimer: All photos were shot by Janelle Roberts of Happinest Photo and are published here just for fun (and because my in-laws spent a butt load to get the disc).

Move that body: 2.5-mile walk and a planned afternoon bike ride

Welcome, friends, to another edition of What I Ate Wednesday! The Healthy Strides clan has had a busy week – an appointment every day! – but with the car seat adapter set to arrive tomorrow, we should up and running (literally) with lots of new posts in the coming week.

As always, I hope this finds you healthy, active and happy.

And now, onto the food!

Pre-nursing snack

P1010045

Decaf coffee and a banana

Breakfast

P1010046

One egg, two slices center cut bacon and brown rice porridge adapted from this recipe to suit my pantry and non-dairy requirements.

Post-walk snack

P1010047

Apple

Lunch

P1010048

Greek Chicken Pita and applesauce from McAlisters. This lunch was a fail. Delicious but a fail. I didn’t think to ask for the dressing on the side and it had feta, which didn’t register as dairy to me. The applesauce was sweetened (too much so if you ask me), making it a poor choice; soup or salad would have been better.

Dinner

P1010049

It was my father-in-law’s birthday so I made beef stroganoff, served with broccoli and bread.

P1010050

Seeing as my FIL’s requested dinner is loaded with dairy, I had leftovers from Monday – a Thai Chicken Drumstick (MAKE THESE) with brown jasmine rice and broccoli.

Dessert 

P1010055

Mango sorbet

Evening snack

P1010056

Kale chips seasoned with salt, pepper and malt vinegar served by my lovely husband. Don’t let that smile fool you – he had no intentions of eating one.

What is your favorite night-time snack?
