Eden Hertzog is pregnant…and hungry
Pregnancy has taught me a lot about food, my relationship to it, and that perhaps my idea of health was little off-kilter. I’ve had a sneaking suspicion for some time now that health has more to do with listening to my body (and not the craving mind – good luck trying to tell the difference!) than eating shredded beets and steamed kale for lunch.
I’ve had many funny moments during my pregnancy where I’ve had to ask some fine establishments if I could please order from their kids menu, as I just knew my body couldn’t handle rich sauces and stocks and too much garlic. The simple foods like grilled cheese and carrot sticks were a saving grace. And when it came time to cook at home, I always went for making the comfort foods. Last week, with fall making its crisp mark, I knew it was time for the ultimate comfort: homemade chicken noodle soup.
I’m pretty sure it’s what Superman’s kryptonite is actually made of. Enjoy!
