How to Spring Clean Your Diet

March 31, 2021 by the thoughtful spoon

Photo by Alison Marras on Unsplash Spring has officially sprung and it's time to reset and start fresh! It's the time of year where you can open the windows, let in some fresh air and get organized! They say the most successful way to tackle spring cleaning is to focus on one area at a time and I find it's the same methodology when cleaning up your diet! To start, focus in on each meal. What are your go-to's for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and any in-betweens? What are you drinking throughout the day? How often do you eat out? What's currently in your pantry or refrigerator? How can you make healthier swaps or eliminate processed foods all together? Eating clean may seem overwhelming, but it's actually really easy once you get in the ...

Pregnancy Diet

December 4, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

26 week bumpDisclaimer: While this worked for me, I'm not a certified nutritionist, so would always encourage you to talk to your doctor or seek a professional opinion if you're looking for more in-depth advice. Over the past few years, I’ve become much more conscious about eating real, whole foods; so when I began my research on preparing for pregnancy and a well-balanced, healthy diet kept popping up, I already felt somewhat prepared. I still listened to podcasts and read more on what exact nutrients I needed to ensure I was incorporating them into my day to day regimen, because diet is SO critical to fetal development. I focused on including good fats, lean proteins, and carbohydrates low on the glycemic index, along with foods ...

Refined Sugar Free Apple Crisp

November 13, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

These past few weeks have been quiet in the Reynolds household as we gear up for the Holiday's ahead and as temperatures drop, I am all about staying in, cozying up and hibernating. This past weekend as it hit a low of 35° in Brooklyn, Tim and I did just that. I recipe tested, we cleaned the apartment, snuggled with Summit and caught up on the newest season of Jack Ryan (love me some John Krasinski). One of the recipes I've been dying to test is this gluten free, refined sugar free apple crisp. Apple crisps are hands down one of my favorite desserts, so coming up with a 'cleaner' version has been on my list for some time. I first tested the topping for this to add to Simple Mill's Pumpkin Bread mix, in this Pumpkin Chocolate Crumb ...

My ‘Diet’ Philosophy

January 16, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

As I begin to share more here on the blog, I wanted to first take a step back to give you insight into my thoughts and philosophies around health and wellness, in general. To start, I decided to focus on diet, as I’m a true believer that both what and how we eat directly correlate to our overall well-being. While there are definitely other factors that come into play such as mental health, relationships, and our levels of physical activity; I’ve noticed that for me personally, diet seems to reign supreme. When I'm eating 'good', I feel 'good' which positively affects all aspects of my life.  ...

Aveline Grace March 12, 2021 I always knew I want Aveline Grace
March 12, 2021

I always knew I wanted to be a mom and that I’d love my potential future children with all my heart… what I didn’t know was how big my heart would grow when you came into this world.

This past year was not at all what we imagined and at the same time SO much more. While we were gleefully hopping the ferry to the hospital, the world was declaring a global pandemic.

You haven’t met your Great Grandmother, Great Uncles and Aunts, or some of our very best friends (your pseudo aunts and uncles), BUT you did get to live with both sets of your grandparents and have grown up with your very best friend and biggest cheerleader (aka Hannah) by your side- memories for which we’re so thankful.

Thanks to Etsy I was able to spend everyday of the first 6 months of your life with you, time I couldn’t have valued more… and thanks to Ms. Jenah, Ms. Gracie, Ms. Samantha, and Ms. Kelcey have somehow been okay leaving you every weekday, knowing you’re in the very best of hands. 

You’ve brought so much joy and happiness into so many people’s lives, most of all my own and I’m so amazed by you each and every day. 

You’re so capable, kind, smart, loving, funny, and exactly who you are supposed to be... and we love you with all of our growing hearts.

They say it takes a village and we’re beyond grateful for ours.
March 10, 2020 My due date... Not Aveline’s birt March 10, 2020
My due date...
Not Aveline’s birth date
I was hopeful she would come early or at least on the day but instead it happily came and went. If I didn’t have to be induced on the 11th who knows when she would have decided to make her grand entrance.
Anyway... Tim and I have been looking through photos of when she was first born and I realized this is the last photo I have pregnant and not on a ferry 😂 but we can save that story for tomorrow
