Hey everyone!
Spend the week with me, showing you everything I ate for dinner. I am 27 weeks pregnant and wanting to give you some healthy dinner inspo! If I can cook these then you definitely can, they’re super easy and delicious! I hope everyone is staying safe in this difficult time…COVID-19 (coronavirus) has made it difficult for us to get groceries at the moment, so I appreciate food even more right now. This video definitely held me accountable to cooking every night and my body is thanking me for it. Our favourite is shepherds pie…. What do you think yours will be?
P.S I had to sit on the couch most nights, due to my ‘at home office’ taking the space of the kitchen table LOL
