Hey hey hey!
My baby is 2 weeks old today. And yup, there is going to be a lot of baby talk on my blog. Why? Because I love him more than life itself and I can’t imagine not blogging about him. Hope that’s okay with you 
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a good ol’ What I Ate Wednesday so I thought I’d just jump right back in!
It may be the new year and all but I have been eating like it’s the holidays. Partly because I’m still in celebration mode from my lil arrival, but also because I feel like I can’t really get back into the health groove until I heal better. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely eating balanced nutritious meals, but also dipping into the sweets a little lot.
Here is a hodge podge of eats:
Indian food at home: Paneer cheese, steamed frozen veggies, tikka masala curry sauce and a side of naan and rice. Beyond delicious!
Scrumptious banana bread that I’ve made before. Try it with TJ’s cookie butter and you’ll have heaven in your mouth.
Not pictured: Kung Pao Cabbage from Jing Jing, homemade pizza, lots of Starbucks lattes…
Oh and some of these guys:
Sprinkles cupcakes – German Chocolate (Carly’s), Smores (Zach’s), Lemon Coconut (mine).
And just for fun, here is some daily cuteness 
Do you make Indian food at home? Ever cooked Paneer?
Favorite cupcake flavor?
Look at that cute face! And your pretty one!
I love Indian food but have only made Channa Masala. SO GOOD! I need more recipes!
Fave cupcake flavor: red velvet or a lemon blueberry. mmmmmm
Love lemon and blueberry…the lemon coconut one rocked last night
..and thank you
Oh my goodness Shanna, he is SO cute!!
I’ve been craving Indian food for WEEKS. I need to get out and get some already.
Thanks Leah!
I’m struggling to get back into normal eats mode too, and I don’t have anything nearly as cute to blame it on!
Plus you should be burning calories like crazy feeding your big boy, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the extra indulgences.
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who wants to see less of Sawyer on your blog. He’s just too dang precious!!!
The holiday season does seem be bleeding a bit longer, but I think we have good excuses to let it right?
The more Sawyer the better – he’s so cute!
And paneer is one of my favorite cheeses. Have you ever tried Paneer Makhani or a Paneer Kati roll?! Amazing!
Ooo tell me more. I haven’t had either Parita!
He is ADORABLE!!! Seriously girl, I’m dying.
You know my baby itch is screaming. 
Thanks Lauren — I look at him every day and can’t get over how darn cute he is!
Looks delicious! all this blogging about food makes me hungry
Go for those sweets, you’ve earned it! My fav cupcake flavor is probably red velvet.
All that Indian food has me hungry!! My favorite cupcake flavor is from Sprinkles–this peanut butter chocolate chip one. Oh my word it is delicious.
They didn’t have the PB chip one yesterday or I would have got it!!!
In my opinion, the more baby talk the better!! Especially when we get to see these adorable Sawyer pics, love it! He’s so freakin’ adorable – I can’t wait to pinch his lil cheeks! And I am just dying over that outfit with the argyle sweater – can we proclaim him to be the best dressed baby on the block – love it!! I can already tell he’s gonna be a heart breaker with the ladies
And If I were you I’d definitely be celebrating non-stop over that lil bundle of joy too 
xo
You will be getting a heck of an earful soon Shayla
And it’s a good thing we’re friends on facebook so you can see the bajillion other photos of my lil man 
xo
Ooh, that daily cuteness is good stuff!
We have only just started cooking Indian food at home, and in the most generic way possible- Chicken Tikka Masala (jar of sauce from costco, add chicken, serve over rice)- but I’m sure we’ll try more soon! Jess and I both love it, as you know, so I just need to look up some recipes and get down to business.
Favorite cupcake flavor… ummm… all of them? LOL
We gotta start somewhere right? I highly suggest you find some Paneer. It cooks like tofu and is super tasty and oh so easy.
He’s already got a half smile on his face.. So. Darn. Cute! Now I’m convinced you were right about him being due around Dec 1-7..not 26th!
Nice to see you are making paneer again.. http://www.cookingandme.com/2010/08/kadai-paneer-recipe-step-by-step.html ..That’s the recipe we followed last time, if you are in the mood for a recreation.. or just gimme a buzz n come over w/ Sawyer!;-)
Haha, yeah I swear he was meant to come earlier.
Thanks for the link to the other recipe. And I’m always open to more Indian cooking lessons
I’ve made s’mores cupcakes before and they are amazing!
And speaking of TJ’s cookie butter… I just ran out this morning (OIAJ- try it!) and it made me sad.
favorite cupcake flavor is red velvet it hink!!
I love the little bath towel picture
So handsome!!
I have never cooked with paneer (or even seen it!) but I’ve heard of it and would love to try it. I think you have good reason to still be celebrating like it’s the holidays!
He is so stinkin cute!
He is SO freaking cute. Like seriously adorable. How could anyone blame you if you blogged about him?!
My favorite cupcake flavor is chocolate frosted with peanut butter.
He is so cute!!!! <3 <3 <3
i neeeed his cuteness in my life!!! He’s so handsome!!!! {ps–a package is in the mail for you tomorrow! I need to send before he grows! So hard to get to the post office Ekkkkk}
I love me some vanilla bean cupcakes!
A package? Yay!
I am a vanilla fan too
I am needing to get my love for Indian cuisine back. I had seriously one bad time and I can’t stomach it ever. It’s on my to do list!
Anyways-I can’t wait to hear more about your child Shanna!
Just the cutest of cutes.
That indian food looks amazing!
and that baby is pretty cute too
I’ve had some amazing cupcakes in my time, but I’m still partial to a plain vanilla with vanilla buttercream. If a bakery can make something as simple as vanilla taste great, then I know that everything else will be just as good!
Completely agree –vanilla is the true test!
My favorite cupcake flavor is by far Red Velvet – I just can’t get enough!
I can’t say I’ve really cooked a whole lot of Indian at home (from scratch- I’m all about heating up the frozen version from Trader Joe’s, though!). And hey- at least you’re still getting homecooked meals in! That’s pretty impressive!
Soooo cute!!!
I really like that loaf pan. I want to find one of those.
I love you but I hate WIAW.
but yea, I totally need a loaf pan
Haha yeah but wiaw makes a no brainer post and i am rather brainless these days :p
