Guess what I had for supper last night?
A big juicy steak with garlic butter and onion strings on top? Nope.
Sizzling chicken fajitas with lots of onions and peppers? Nope again.
One of the fabulous soup recipes that you wonderful people sent to me? Nope. Not last night.
Give up?
A smoothie!
After getting up from the couch after a quick after work nap and readying myself for Bible study, I took a detour to the bathroom and spent the next twenty minutes hugging the toilet. Needless to say, I skipped out on Bible study and spent the rest of the evening on the couch. Nothing at all sounded appealing, so I asked if Husby would make me one of his world famous smoothies.
It was exactly what the Doctor ordered. YUM! The perfect supper for a preggy sickie.
A Smoothie For One
First you take some frozen strawberries and peaches and throw them in a blender.
Then add a few scoops of strawberry yogurt and a few swigs of orange juice and get to blending.
Break out the little bear and add some honey!
Pour in a glass and serve to the one you love.
Yummy. 'Twas delish.
And so far, I have kept it down. Three cheers for Whitney!
I will leave you with a question. As I was enjoying my delightful smoothie, I noticed something rather strange and thought I would ask you if you know the answer.
How come when you look into a spoon, it shows your reflection upside down....but when you turn it around and look at your reflection, you are right side up!? So strange.

MMM that looks good!
ReplyDeleteGuess what I had for dinner last night? Your southwestern Taco Pot Pie - it was SO good! Hubby and I both loved it.
Hope you feel better today!
Happy Pregnancy - Congrats! Maybe I missed the earlier post unless this is the first mention of your new addition. Love, MG
ReplyDeleteAwww, Whitney- you poor thing!! I too lived on smoothies while I was preggers cuz it was the only thing I could hold down!! I have a million smoothie recipes if you need a few...
ReplyDeleteROFL @ your question!! I have no idea but I'm off to Google it and will let you know!!
Hope baby Lovie takes it easy on you today!! Hugs from Boston...
Oh, I love smoothies. What a sweet hubby you have! I hope the toilet is not your frequent dining area! have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet husband! Hope you're feeling better today
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better- this time of your pregnancy is certainly not the part I look forward to! I just hope my Hubby is as nice as yours... he better be!
ReplyDeleteHere is an explanation about the spoon thing: http://www-psych.stanford.edu/~lera/psych115s/quiz/puzzle1.html. What an interesting question I probably never would have thought of!
yum!!! that sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteHusby sounds like a keeper to me.;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have no idea about the spoon question....I hope that you will give us the answer if you find it though.;)
I hope that you are able to break away from your toilet hugging very soon.
God Bless,
Amy:)
lol- call me unobservant..but I have never noticed the whole spoon thing.. sorry you felt crummy last night..ugh.
ReplyDeleteyou crack me up! I hope that you feel better soon and I am so glad the smoothie stayed down :) You have such a sweet hubby! Have a great day ....
ReplyDeleteBless your heart!!! I'm glad the smoothie did the trick. :)
ReplyDeleteNo matter how sick I have ever been, I have never been able to "hug the toilet". Give me a trash can any day. I just can't hang my head over the porcelain bowl. I hope your queasies are few and far between. Yeah for Darin!
ReplyDeleteyum! that smoothie looks delicious. i wanted to make one last night too, but in stead i made us fruit cups. same thing, i guess, just not cold and creamy :)
ReplyDeleteOh you poor sweet thing! I remember those sick days and don't envy you one little bit! Praying it is over soon!
ReplyDeleteI love smoothies! Can't wait to try that one :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you were sick, but yay for keeping the smoothie down!
I have never noticed that about a spoon! I will have to check that out!
yummmy smoothie!!!
ReplyDeleteI will have to try the spoon thing...never noticed :)
Awe, I'm so sorry! It's a good thing you've been so diligent about cleaning those toilets of yours ;)
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
Annie
I can't answer your question...I never knew that! I am going downstairs to check it out!
ReplyDeleteSorry you were barfing-that is the worst! I only had it with my last one (of three) and I thought for sure that meant I was having a girl...I bought PINK clothes! (I had a third-but wonderful-boy...)
Sorry you felt ill....it will get better. The smoothie looked delish and very refreshing...I want one now.
ReplyDeleteI used to eat saltines and drink Sprite (even though I dont like any type of soda) but it seemed to help.
First of all, the smoothie looks delicious! Yummo! Secondly, never even thought about the spoon thing. I will have to test that out. Thirdly, sorry bout the toilet hugging. Too bad you had to miss Bible study! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteOh no, the morning sickness has arrived! At least you could hold down that yummy smoothie!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add my congratulations to you and your husband on your wonderful news. I was so excited for you when I read you were expecting.
ReplyDeleteI had quite bad morning sickness when I was expecting my daughter. I found those travel sickness bands (they're called Sea Bands in England, maybe they have the same name over there?) helped with the worst of the nausea. They didn't get rid of it completely, but they definitly helped.
The sickness will be over soon enough and before you know it your precious child will be in your arms. Enjoy being spoilt during this special time.
Looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteYummy looking smoothie you have there (and such a sweet husby!)
ReplyDeleteHope you pass through the nauseous phase quickly :)
Such a good idea! I've been enjoying a dinner of saltines and Sprite for several weeks now. Maybe I should switch over to smoothies...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea!
so...you're having evening sickness? :)
ReplyDeleteNo fun! But thank goodness for sweet hubbies.
ReplyDeleteyou'd think i was pregnant by the way i eat... :) for dinner i had.... about 2 huge chunks of fresh french bread with butter. YUM. it was delish. that with a great book? oh, i am in heaven! i think i'll have the same tonight with some plain chicken broth... mmmm.... and rent an oldie but goodie movie.... i'm so excited to get home!!! :)
ReplyDeleteoh and i've always wondered about the spoon thing too! is it bc one side is convex, the other concave?
and a question for you! what are some of your favorite-of-all-time movies? i ask bc i'm home alone tonight (husby as you say is working late again) and i don't want to be lonely!
God love fabulous husbands! God sure blessed you with a keeper! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the whole spoon thing, its all about lens and mirrors, it's the shape of the spoon and that changes the way light reflects off it, thus the way your image is reflected. That's about as technical as this little English major can be.:)
Oh, how I long to be your pregnancy partner! :) I'm ready, but my husby isn't yet. I've got to pray for patience! And thanks your play by play of early pregnancy, I love it!
Well congrats on being pregnant! That is so exciting! I am with you on the meat thing...it sounded gross to me in the first trimester too. Smoothies were always good because they are filling but have nothing "gross" in them to make you feel sicker! Feel better!
ReplyDeleteCarrie
Sorry you weren't feeling well! :( Smoothies are soo good though! I try to have one every couple of days because they are so healthy and yummy.
ReplyDeleteYummy smoothie! What a sweet husby to make that! I'm sorry you were sick though!
ReplyDeleteThat smoothie sounds delish! I'm sure you are glad you found something that doesn't make you sick. That is too funny about the spoon ... never noticed.
ReplyDeleteHi! Sorry I have know idea about the spoon!
ReplyDeleteHowever I did leave you some bloggy love on my post today :)
Ahh the spoon question... you're so silly! Glad you kept your smoothie down. Welcome the wonderful world of pregnancy. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for smoothies and for them staying down!
ReplyDeleteHoping you are feeling well!
i am so happy for you guys!
That does sound yummy, yay for your sweet Hubby :) My Hubs used to make smoothies all the time, I should probably get back into it! That steak sounds good too though, when I was preggers I crave meat (burgers!) like nobodys business! :) I guess my body is saying pass the iron :) I hope you have less of a relationship with the toilet very soon!!
ReplyDeletemmmmm smoothies. SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better today:) I don't know the answer to your question but I'm going to go look at myself in a spoon!
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie looks yummy! What a nice husband you have. I don't know about the spoon thing.
ReplyDeleteso sorry about the "morning" sickness. I always thought that was a funny expression, since mine was pretty much all day... My friend gave me a great piece of advice, try eating something every 2 hours. Nothing big, just to have something in your stomach all the time. It worked pretty well for me. Just remember, this too will pass!
ReplyDeleteYou notice the most bizarre things! I'm so sorry that the yucky tummy has already set in. Yeah for pregnancy :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I miss having a blender...back on the list now for a someday want....right now I'm working back the large food processor LOL~
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up with the spoon! Reminds me of my son who came home today and asked where frogs go in the winter. Of course I had to find the answer for him...which by the way is the dig a hole and hybernate underground...
BTW...the only people I know who got sick in pregnancies had girls ;)
ReplyDeleteHow yummy is that! I love making smoothies but I have not done it in so long!
ReplyDeleteHope each day gets better and you feel better!

Ok, the science teacher can answer your spoon question. It has to do with convex/concave and reflection. Concave will always show you upside down! I am so sorry to hear that you upchucked for 20 minutes... Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI was sick - every day for 6 months with two of my four babies...I FEEL YOUR PAIN! Try lemon heads, the candy, and also ginger snaps, they might help you with the queasy belly. Smoothies are great, but sometimes milk wasn't my friend!! Good Luck on your journey to domestic bliss!!!
ReplyDeleteisn't that a smoothie for TWO? (-:
ReplyDeleteI am going to try that smoothie!
ReplyDeleteWeird about the spoon thing...I'll have to check that out!
Btw, I purchased a brookstone sleeping mask last night. I"ve been sleeping so bad the last few nights I decided to give it a try, too bad it won't come for 5-7 days!

ReplyDeletethis gal is in the same boat as you. go see her. and she is a creator of some sweet apron patterns!
"This (sickness) too shall pass", will pass very quickly for you, my dear.
Ha! This is funny. So whne I was pregnant I always barfed in the morning after breakfast. So I started drinking smoothies becuase if you are going to throw up, barfing a smoothie is not as disgusting as other things you know. I know this is gross but seriously it's the truth. Just keep remembering that feeling disgusting is a sign of a healyth pregnancy and your way of knowing everything is going well. When it does end, it's from one day to the next and you almost can't even imagine you ever felt like that.
ReplyDeleteWell, Whitney, have I got a surprise for you! I happen to have several ring pops in my closet that I don't want to give to my kids (they eat too much sugar as it is!) I will try to remember to bring them to church on Sunday and you can add them to your candy dish!
