How are you doing today? Do you have anything to rant or rave about?
Do your food preferences change much with the seasons? Do you get a yen for produce that's in season? Or do you stick to your comfort staples year-round?

Re: Thursday Check In
I do get excited about seasonal foods, but I suspect that has more to do with advertising (eg, pumpkin spice everything in the fall!) than with any actual change in the weather. Although, there are some things I don't like to eat out of season at all. My husband has been pushing for us to have chili lately, but I keep avoiding it by telling him that the beans are bad for my blood sugar. Truthfully, I just don't want to eat hot beans when it's 90 degrees out at 8:00 pm!
I tend to be a staples girl but I grill all summer and none in the winter. I also have no interest in heavy foods in the summer... Ice cream I can eat year round
My food preferences change a ton with season... Summer time all I want is garden veggies & grilled food, but come fall & winter I loooove the 'comfort food' casseroles & such.
My food choices change with the season, but I also do cook the same staple comfort food dinners. I am good at cooking with what we have. We tend to buy seasonal fruits and veggies and that shapes my meals. DH got some pork chops, which we don't usually go for with our protein. I made an apple, white peach, triple sec reduction with basil mashed potatoes and a side of peas to go with the chops which I just baked with a taragon sage herb rub. Considering that I have had zero interest in cooking lately, that is pretty good and it only took me 15-20 minutes to whip up. BOOM

Do your food preferences change much with the seasons? Do you get a yen for produce that's in season? Or do you stick to your comfort staples year-round? I typically only eat salads in the summer. And in tge fall and winter I cant live without crockpot meals.

I read about your foot cramps. I sm wondering if this is all related to circulation. I get wicked restless legs too. DH started rubbing my feet, which helps a lot with that and I get a foot rub out of it. Score!
I eat a ton of produce, and refuse to pay a ridiculous amount for it. So if it's out of season, and therefore super expensive, I don't eat that food too often. Right now is all about the nectarines, peaches, plums, and pluots. A month ago was all about the berries.
S/N: I am a worried tho b/c I got my one hour glucose test results back and did not pass. =( I have to go in for the 3 hour test now...grr...hoping I pass that one!

Do your food preferences change much with the seasons? Do you get a yen for produce that's in season? Or do you stick to your comfort staples year-round? I tend to eat in season as it tastes better (and can get farm fresh produce for most of the year).
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
I have really missed you ladies! Waiting to board a plane home after a great weeklong babymoon in the Bay Area. Had terrible cell service where we were staying (only con and not a biggie). I can only imagine what ridiculousness I've missed!
Baby girl has been moving so much on the trip. DH has gotten to feel a lot of movement. We have settled on Anabelle or Annabelle for the first name and are favoring either Rory or Cate for the middle name. Backup name is Ezra Jane. Thoughts?
Rave: Vanilla Cinnamon Cashew Milk and all of the fresh, local foods we found in Marin County and wine country
Rant: not getting to glug gallons of California wine. @TheOtherJacobsons I am with you on the calves thing. Almost nightly for me.
GTKY: yes, I yen for seasonal foods but it was cold and foggy one day this week and I really wanted pumpkin spice latte. So predictable, I know. Probably the marketing like @MrsL2B said.
