I'm so glad it's Friday. It's a gorgeous day today and my boss actually gave my whole group the afternoon off. Joy! Baby Boy is going to be here in a few weeks and I've had it in the back of my mind that I want to cook and freeze meals ahead of time so… Continue reading Freezer Meals

Chocolate Quinoa Protein Bars

Pregnancy & Protein
Did you know that pregnant women need 60-70 grams of protein per day in their third trimester? I didn't realize that until last week when I got my 32 week e-mail from the hospital where I plan to deliver.
