We're Back! & Melon-Lime Smoothie
Hi guys!
We are BACK! And I am finally getting this post posted! If you've been following us around on Facebook or Twitter, you'll know we made it back from our trip to the U.P. of Michigan a couple Saturdays ago. And ever since I have been Internet deprived, and thus have had a huge lack in updates and new recipe postings to Healing Cuisine. Good news is Dave ordered me an Internet package and we should be wired in by Monday or Tuesday of next week. I can't wait!
We had a fabulous time in Michigan, albeit too short of a visit with family and friends. We didn't have quite enough time to jump into Lake Superior, but we did accomplish just about every thing else we planned to on our visit home. This included Dave taking charge and packing our 12ft Penske truck with all our earthly belongings, while my mom and I sat inside talking baby and looking at the gifts she crocheted for baby Schwartz. We also successfully brought home 6 pasties. Pasties have been the one and only food I have craved while pregnant, but haven't been able to find in Florida or North Carolina. I was determined to bring some home with us to enjoy this final month of pregnancy. Baby and I are in heaven! (Core Plan heaven that is... ;)
The drive down from Michigan took us about a day and a half. It wasn't too bad, I supported and propped up my body with plenty of pillows and a doughnut for my tush. Baby and I handled it all pretty well. After arriving home and getting the boxes and furniture all moved into our new diggs, nesting started and is in full swing! Apartment is cleaned from top to bottom and all the baby stuff is washed and set out, ready to go! About 4 weeks left until we get to meet our little bundle of joy, God's greatest blessing!
Here's an updated belly picture that we took during our trip home, at about 34 weeks. Since, babe has dropped and we are right on track for a successful birth!

You look beautiful! Stay cool.
You look fantastic! Love those pasties!
Thanks guys! Yes, pasties are so yummm!
:) love the photo! Do you have your recipe for rqw cheese?? I need it!! Any kind will do, the easier, the better! ;P
And... haven't you ever made pasties?? Easy peasy!! And I bet you could do it better and healthier!
Made pasties here and there -- nothing beats Amy J's or Toni's tho! And can't make a healthy crust that holds up. :( I keep tryin' tho!
Raw cheese, you'll need raw milk. I've only made mozzarella myself. You can google it, don't have a recipe typed up for it. Other cheeses have seemed pretty time intensive to me, especially to keep them raw.
You may like cashew cheese! That is what we usually do when craving the taste/texture. Been meaning to post but haven't yet. Will soon!
