The top half of this is a little heavy, but the bottom half is delicious!
A "former" nurse told me when I was on bedrest with Daisy that having a healthy baby is a miracle that we do not really think that much about. Her point was there is so much that can go wrong that we forget how tenderly perfect having a baby is.
That memory keeps resonating with me as I hear of pregnancy/infant problems. Some people have a hard time getting pregnant; some miscarry often; some have stillborns; some have preemies; some have babies with missing organs that are born and live a very short life; some ultrasound results are inconclusive. There are so many situations that I hear of. I know that I am more sensitive to the whole topic now than I was before, but I am reminded often that new life is a miracle. And of course b/c of pregnancy hormones, I am more emotional about my and other people's experience.
I made a meal for a pregnant friend that is struggling with some possible test "results". I am scared sick for her and the baby. God is in control~but there is a possibility of painful things to come.
I made them some cookies....When I sat down to write, I didn't know it was going to be so heavy. In fact, I was really writing to include info on my new favorite cookies. My friend, Abby, who has the Our Little Hope blog posted them recently and I finally got to try them. They are grain free, dairy free, and (refined) sugar free and DELICIOUS! I will admit, I was a little skeptical, but they are too good to be true. I posted them in my recipe page. YUM--worth every cent! (Almond flour is expensive, but so worth it in these cookies!)
I froze some and will have to let you know how they turn out after they have been frozen, then thawed. I am assuming they will be fine.
PS I also just posted the blog that these cookies came from on my blog list. It is the primal palate one. I am really excited about all the recipes they have on their blog. If the rest of their food is as good as the cookies, I am in business! Now I just have to start trying the recipes......
