Ha! I just read one of the articles on babycenter.com, of suggestions to help new moms boost their energy and mood through eating certain foods. Their first suggestion: breakfast. My breakfast usually doesn't even happen until noon or afterwards, much less being able to fix something to eat - try doing that when you're half starved, got a crying baby, and haven't even gotten a chance yet to go to the bathroom since you've gotten up in the morning. I've tried cooking during the day before, and it really doesn't happen - whatever it is that I cook usually ends up either overcooked or burnt. Impossible.
But, hey, it's good to have that idea out there that someone, somewhere, is really enjoying the first few months of their motherhood, like it's a damn walk in the park. Just not happening here, not in the near future. And I suspect, not for most new moms.
With that said, however, I did make a really good fish tonight. Or rather, I prepared it, then Hubby cooked it while I took a shower with Baby. Tilapia loins, sauteed in butter, with a tomato and carrot sauce. Seasoned tilapia loins with salt, pepper, and parsley. Sauteed the diced tomatoes and carrots in butter, in a pan that had remnants of the spices from my berbere this afternoon, and set the sauce to the side. Then, browned the tilapia loins in the same pan. Hubby served the tilapia loins with the sauce - tomatoes worked wonderfully with the tilapia and butter!
OK, off to rest, hopefully to get some energy renewal for tomorrow.
