BBQ Pot Pie

I know it sounds delicious because it is:) and easy too!

1 frozen pie crust, allow to thaw as directed.
1 container Fully cooked pulled bbq pork or chicken (I prefer chicken for lower fat content)
1 1/2 c. of Orieda Frozen Potatoes O'Brien
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (I use 2% but again this would be your preference)
1 can corn (drained)

Preheat oven to 350. Bake crust for 5 mins, remove from oven.
Spoon 1/2 of bbq into crust and layer of 1/2 of cheese on top.
Layer potatoes and corn on top of cheese. Top with remaining bbq and then cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Let stand 5 mins before serving.

Healthy Eating/Cravings

This is not just for pregnant women. You know how we all crave an afternoon cookie or some cheesy noodles every once in a while. This is largely a result of unhealthy eating to begin with, as well as lack of serotonin.

**An enormous percentage of women crave sugar, carbohydrates, or alcohol. In most cases, these food cravings are not true eating disorders, but instead are signs of hormonal imbalance caused by a lack of healthy nutrition.


Food cravings mean that the body has its signals mixed up. When we are exhausted or blue, we have low blood sugar and/or low serotonin, and the body signals the brain that it needs a pick-me-up. This signal causes a sugar craving or carbohydrate craving.**

The good news is there are three things you can do to stop this vicious cycle:

Get 8 hours of sleep nightly

Take a multivitamin daily

Get 10 mins of excercise per day (above and beyond your typical stretching/walking etc., this needs to be a "breaking the sweat" activity)

Low-Cal Diet Cranberry Lime-aid

I'm addicted to these lo-cal cherry Lime-aid things they have at a certain drive-in fast food joint where the car hops do not ever wear roller skates like in the commercials:) Well, I figured out how to make a cranberry version at home using Cranergy which also gives you a quick energy boost without the caffeine...I know I'm a genius, you don't have to tell me;)

1 can Sprite Zero
6 oz. Ocean Spray Cranergy (I prefer the Pomegranate type)
Lime slices (as desired)
Ice

This makes for a large cool dink on a hot day. Perfect for the afternoon when you start getting tired. Very Refreshing!

P.S. This is for my prego friend Sarah who has gotten me hooked on limes this pregnancy!
