my vegan and cheese is without a doubt one of my favorite plant based recipes!👆🏼
made with a creamy cashew ‘cheese’ sauce that tastes just like nacho cheese I swear. and because I like it spicy, I add a few extra jalapeño slices on top. totally optional, but seriously delish! grab the recipe link in my bio.

Sidney is officially 1 month old! ❤️ our 11 po

Sidney is officially 1 month old! ❤️ our 11 pound big boy is growing like a champ! time is flying by so quickly and I’ve realized that posting the in between, imperfect moments are more real and a reflection of my postpartum reality.

life right now means:

wearing sweatpants or my pjs and sometimes just hanging on the couch with my boobs out. some days I don’t get any sort of breaks so thank goodness grey’s anatomy has 16 seasons!

Sidney loves bath time and sleeping next to us. doesn’t love the pacifier and hates getting his diaper changed. he’s a mama’s boy for sure but definitely loves to nap and cuddle on his dad. And he’s even starting to smile!

we’re figuring out sleep thanks to @takingcarababies and we’re still using the snoo — can’t quite figure out if he loves it or hates it, ha.

most days we don’t leave the house cause it’s too cold and Sidney isn’t quite ready for chilly Chicago temps. we’re already looking forward to warmer March weather. SO SOON!

it takes me SO freaking long to make dinner, if I even have time. when he is napping, I try to chop veggies and throw a few things together. slow cooker meals are life, but really Tony’s really become the chef of the house!

quite honestly I’m looking forward to going to back to the gym to have my me time even if it’s just an hour. will be taking it easy and truthfully not feeling a pressured to look a certain way, just eager to start moving my body

not working has been weird. I mean I’ve kinda still been working but also trying my best not to...Idk it’s a strange transition bc i loveeee what I do. work was my life and now it’s kinda not?

so there you have it: a month of life with Sidney — he brings so much joy and I love being his mama more than anything. so so lucky! #onemonthold #newborn

when I was a kid my mom used to make me chicken pot pie from the back of the bisquick box. you know, semi-homemade. I really never knew how AMAZING homemade chicken pot pie could be until I made my own version.

of course, it’s a bit lightened up than the traditional one and even includes a dairy free option + a gorgeous flaky homemade crust 💗

one of my husband’s fav comfort foods! grab the recipe link in my bio.
