You are what you eat. And so are your babies!

I’ve learned so much about feeding my body properly to help it realign and achieve a maximally fertile state. Lisa Olson, does a great job of explaining nutrition for getting pregnant.

One thing I’ve heard from a lot of women that are not used to eating and cooking the way that Lisa suggests is that they’re not sure that they can do it. Take it from a Southern girl, you can eat an absolutely delicious diet that will help you get pregnant! What’s more, as a free bonus Lisa includes an additional free book of 56 fertility recipes! Here are a few of my absolute favorites.

These recipes are directly from Pregnancy Miracle 14 Day Recipe and Meal Plan from Lisa Olson.

Louisiana Gumbo (I did say I was a Southern girl!)

• 3 TB extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups onion (chopped)
• 1 cup celery (chopped)
• 2 large tomatoes (chopped)
• 8 cups organic chicken stock (or make your own and you’re the boiled chicken for something yummy later)
• 8 cups pure water
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Tamari, black pepper and red pepper – to taste
• .5 – 1 lb. Fish (Chopped – get it as FRESH as you can, avoid tuna and other high mercury-risk fish)
• 2 lbs shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 1 cup frozen clams
• 1 TB parsley (finely chopped)
• ½ teaspoon “gumbo file” (dried, ground sassafras leaves)

Instructions:

Moisten bottom of large soup kettle with 2 TB water, then add oil and heat on medium, until hot. Add onions and celery. Cook until onions are wilted and slightly golden. Then add tomatoes, chicken stock, water and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes and season to taste with tamari, black pepper and red pepper. Add all seafood and parsely. Cook for 10 more minutes. Sprinkle a dash of gumbo file on each served dish of gumbo.
Serves 6 (I cook it once and eat it with Mark for 3 days, unless we’re having company)

Turkey Meat Loaf (So easy. Sooo yummy!)

• 1 medium carrot (grated)
• Handful of spinach (finely chopped)
• 1 egg (well beaten)
• 2 teaspoons Spike

Directions:

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Grind walnuts in blender but don’t over grind or they’ll get oily. Mix all ingredients together. Oil/butter 9”x13” pan and pat mixture into a long loaf.

Bake for ~90 minutes.

Serves 4-6

Aloha Smoothy (Makes every morning feel like summer)

• 2 TB flax seeds
• 2 TB raw macadamia nuts
• 2 TB raw almonds
• 2 TB pecans
• 2 slices organic ginger root (talk about a pick me up)
• 1 papaya (if you can’t find them locally, move )
• ~2 Cups water (you can play around with substituting ice and yogurt for desired texture)
• Stevia to taste

Directions:

Soak nuts and seeds overnight and rinse. Add seeds, nuts, ginger, papaya and a little water to blender. Blend on high until smooth. Add remaining water a little at a time and continue blending until all water is added. Add stevia to taste.

Serves 2 (Sometimes I give 1 to mark, and sometimes I selfishly save the rest for later :evil grin: )
