  1. Decadent! I make gnocchi from scratch. They are very easy to make. For the record, I don't hate babies!😂

  2. Super appreciate that you emphasize that this is a part of a healthy pregnancy but does not replace necessary medical care

  11. I don’t know how to say this…appropriately, but I am going to try…the fact that you are wearing THAT dress…while making a dish for a pregnant person…is some how super appropriate. As I imagine, that the former could easily cause the latter. 😂 I mean this in the most complimentary way possible. You look amazing, Lady! Love all your content! So grateful for the recipes!

  12. I was gonna make the recipe you put up for women during their period, for my partner during her next period…but we found out she’s pregnant…so now I’m gonna make her this 😂

  13. This truly does look delicioso🥰 Since this is a feminine nourishment series can you add something for menopause or perimenopause. I love this series.
