Eggplant Parmigiana

Will it work? Yesterday Matt and I were online and came across this article about a restaurant in Georgia where pregnant women went to get this legendary eggplant parmigiana that was known to bring on labor. We went to the restaurant’s website and sure enough there was the link to the recipe for those of us far from the warmth of Georgia and the story behind the meal. This all started about 25 years ago and has grown to the point that Scalini’s has an “Eggplant Baby” Wall and link on the website with over 300 babies born within 48 hours of eating the famous meal. They even guarantee a baby within 48 hours of eating the meal at the restaurant and give those who don’t a gift card for another meal. We changed dinner plans and decided why not give it a try, so if it works for me we should be meeting our baby before Monday at 6pm, 36 hours to go. If it doesn’t work we had a great dinner and now have a new recipe.

    The recipe/story is linked to the post title. Coming up on 48 hours and no baby yet, although some great contractions.

    FRESH PINEAPPLE!

    I had no idea, but was craving it, and ate a TON! Hello sore mouth and heartburn! BUT, it did kick start labor and I FINALLY got to give birth naturally as opposed to being induced!

    Good luck!

A few Races...

Image
Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month!
