After a few weeks of silently waiting for the news to confirm, I'm definetly going to be a Mum!!
This time everything is going alright, I have a future cousin, grandson, son, and who nows how many things more, growing inside of me. I'm only of 6 weeks, and well maybe some of you think that it's too soon, but I'm happy and this couldn't be something to just step aside for later...
I will have to make some difficult changes about food in my life, stop eating so much pasta (that I love), less meat, no fat, no sugar, no coke, no beer, no wine, no chips, no chocolate...mmmm, it's going to be really hard, on the other side I will have to eat a lot more of vegetables, and I would really apreciate if all of you could help me a little, posting once in a while, good looking vegetables dishes, for a future mum in trouble, ;)
I'm excited and frightened at the same time,...I supose everything will find it's place as the time goes by, but I just can't wait for all the changes to come!!
I'm going to have a baby...a baby...a baby...a baby...oh my....!!

Hi Tattum -
Congrats on becoming a mom! I ran across your site while searching for a milanesa recipe (I had never heard of it. I just bought some meat to make beef jerky and it said "for milanesa" on the outside, so I did a search to see what it is.) Anyways, having just bought a smoker unit, I've been getting interested in the different kinds of food you can cook in them. You might be interested to know you can make lots of veggie dishes in them, and they taste incredible. Even if you just have a charcoal or gas grill, you can buy smoking wood (mesquite, hickory, olive, fruit-wood), throw it on the lit charcoal or in some foil, and cook your shish-kebabs, foil-wrapped baked potatoes, stir fry, or whatever, and the smoke will add a lot of great flavor without adding any calories or fat.
Warning, you might become totally addicted once you experience real smoked food for yourself!
Some good veggie barbecue and grilling sites:

Hi Tattum, GREAT NEWS !!! A little foodblogger to come soon..;-)))
You sound SOOO happy and I am so glad for you, and what just have come to my mind: what a wonderful gift for a child to grow up with a dog like Max ... I keep all my fingers crossed for you that all works well, unfortunately I have not managed myself but I feel truly happy for every young Mummy, especially for those who feel so happy as you do ! Take care, I embrace You, the Baby and - of course - Max also, angelika
