Running Mama Cooks

Finn William was born this morning at 5:40 am! He was 8 lbs, 8 oz and 21.5 inches long. I had a super fast, unmedicated birth, which wasn't the plan, but it worked out great. His big sister is over the moon and we are all in love with this precious boy!

So, I have been the worst blogger ever, but I guess I have a pretty decent excuse! Baby boy is due any day now and even though I have been cooking here and there, I haven't been making anything too blog worthy. We have been eating a lot of repeat recipes (taco mac, spinach tortellini salad, Chicken spinach wraps, French's Fried Onion pork chops).

This morning, Zach picked several really nice green peppers from our garden, so I defrosted some turkey sausage we had in the freezer and made sausage and pepper sandwiches. They were really yummy.
