Hey All. Feels weird to not really know what is going on in the blog world.. but have to say I have been more productive than ever!
Some stuff I wanted to share:
I love the magazine TODAY’s Dietician and this month there were many good features one I was a little concerned with because ** It highlights the possibility that A MOTHERS DIET OF NUTS/NUT BUTTERS DURING PREGNANCY MAY INCREASE THE RISK THAT HER CHILD WITH HAVE ASTHMA. MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED BUT THIS MAY LEAD TO DOCTORS RECOMENDING WOMAN AVOID PEANUT BUTTER DURING PREGNANCY… CAN YOU IMAGINE!
Another interesting thing in the article was the effect of DHA and EHA on child retina development (eye sight) and brain development. The research is clear that children who were breast feed or given milk supplemented with DHA and EHA had higher IQ’s by the age of 4. It is important for pregnant/nursing woman to get DHA and EHA in their diet and if they are not breast feeding to make sure the milk/supplement is fortified with these nutrients.
THIS WAS AN EASY RECIPE I MADE AND BROUGHT TO SCHOOL FOR LUNCH
SPICED TOFU-MOCK CHICKEN SALAD
DIRECTIONS: Place some veggie broth and about 1/4 -1/2 tsp natural taco seasoning in a skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat an add tofu to the skillet ( firm light- use as a much as you would for one serving,) and diced onion.
Preheat broiler, and once tofu and onion is cooked in the pan place it on foil lined tray and briol for 10 min. In the mean time chop some apple and celery. When tofu is done mix tofu, apple, celery and 1 tbsp smart balance mayo. Top with chopped walnuts.
After it came outof the oven
All mixed up!
I ate mine in a wrap but you can eat it plain, with crackers, over a salad or with rice or pasta!
Last but not least here are some links for you guys:

Mmmm love the mock chicken salad idea.
Sometimes you just need a break from the blogging world eh? It sure does distract from those slightly important other things in life like school work and such… sigh.

Good to see you and fret not– we enjoy your blog when you get the time to post and nobody will hold it against you when you don’t!
If you get a chance to read your comments– was that article examining all nut butters, or just peanut butter? Just wondering because I know peanuts are different than other nuts– and also because I can’t give up ALL nut butters during pregnancy, no way!
