  • Ok so I had so many of you reach out to me personally and through dm after my post on Tuesday regarding the turned away cookies. You wanted them, you wanted to buy them, you begged me not to get rid of them. I love you guys 🙏🏾😂 . . I’m bored and I love to bake so good news. I’ll be making some baked goods each week available for purchase. 2-3 options with at least one being gluten-free/keto friendly. . . Every Monday, I’ll post a new menu. Orders will need to be in by Tuesday 5pm pst. Unfortunately this will only be available right now in Napa and surrounding areas. Free delivery in Napa and pickup available otherwise. . . You can dm me orders or email ladyandthevine@gmail.com each item will come with a suggested donation. Payments only available by cc through Venmo or Square. . . Thanks for all your support ❤️🤗 #cookies #cakes #bakedgoods #keto #glutenfree #napa #napavalley #ladyandthevine

  • BUMPDATE 🤰🏾 24 wks...baby is the size of a cantaloupe and weighing in at 1 lb 7 oz🍈💚 . . Baby was completely uncooperative during yesterday’s ultrasound. Of course this on the day when the extra pics were free (my child 😳) . . We’ll play a little game, usually in the evenings, where I’ll tap on certain areas of my belly and baby will kick or hit that area. It’s such a fun connection that we have. Jason finally felt one of those kicks! . . Fetal hiccups are so weird yet hilarious! They don’t usually last too long but they crack me up. . . We’ve cataloged all of the items we currently have and have started figuring out some registry essentials. I’m trying not to think of the fact that I may not have a shower and instead focus on how happy, healthy and blessed we both are. #secondtrimester #smallbabybump #24wks #motherhood #ladyandthevine #napavalley #napa

  • Today I had my 24 wk ultrasound (I have to get them monthly due to the fibroids). By the time I was taken back for my 7:45am appt, the waiting area had filled up to 14 women. All of us at different stages in our pregnancy. All of us with different expressions of worry, sadness and exhaustion on our faces. There were no men, no other children, no support person. We’re no longer allowed to bring those people with us to our appts. I’m sure a lot of us thinking, “Should I be here right now...is it safe?” I baked yesterday and decided to bring cookies and a thank you card to all of the techs and doctors who are there for our babies. Unfortunately they couldn’t accept them. Not even the card. I told the doctor no problem and that I promised to bring them some when this is under control. I’m not sure when this will be but I’m hopeful that it will happen and that we will all come out better people at the end of it. For now all we can do is show each other love, compassion and appreciation. For that is the world that I want to bring this baby into 🙏🏾 #secondtrimester #ultrasound #24weeks #selfisolation #baking #ladyandthevine #corona

  • Pasta e Fagioli is a great pantry dish that comes together in no time. You can use any broth you want and with whatever veggies you like. I usually have carrots, garlic and onions on hand but you can throw in some squash or green which are delish. 2 quarts chicken stock 1 can tomato sauce or crushed/etc 1 cup water 1 can cannelini beans or white bean, drained and rinsed 1/2 package ditalini or any small pasta 2 carrots, diced 1 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp extra virgin olive plus extra for garnish 1 bay leaf Salt & pepper to taste As much Parmesan for garnish Heat olive oil on medium heat in a medium quart pot. Add carrots and onions. Sauté for 3-5 min. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add broth, tomato sauce and water to pot. Add bay leaf/Parmesan rind and bring mix to a boil. Stir in pasta and cook for 8-10 min or package directions. Add cannelini beans and season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf and Parmesan rind. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan. Serve with crusty bread! #ladyandthevine #cooking #homecooking #pastafagioli #comfortfood #napavalley #napa #friday

  • BUMPDATE 23 wks. Officially have entered into month 6! Baby is the size of a grapefruit 🧡 Haven’t had any real strong food aversions or cravings. I’m enjoying most of the foods that I normally crave minus sushi 🍣 👎🏾 Let me just say that having a regular yoga practice has saved me. Both physically and mentally. I’m so glad I started back up before my pregnancy and have been pretty consistent throughout. But if I miss a day, I can feel the difference. Baby is moving like crazy and kicking me in the lower abdomen. Let’s just say someone is really spreading out and getting down in there 🤣 I haven’t been able to do my consistent workouts with the self isolation but Jason and I have been going for long walks twice a day. Any suggestions for home videos would be greatly appreciated. #2ndtrimester #pregancy #23weekspregnant #ladyandthevine #yoga #homeworkout #mama #napa
