This week I am sharing my simple cauliflower “wings” recipe so you can make it for game day next weekend!

My husband loves wings.. and when I say loves.. he REALLY LOVES WINGS.

I made these for him & he was shook over how delicious, crispy and crunchy they were. He dipped them in a my homemade ranch dressing and ended up eating the entire head of cauliflower in one sitting!

I’ll get to the recipe below!

Surprise, i’m pregnant!

I’ve fully been hiding my pregnancy for 6 whole months.. don’t ask me how (lol)

The reason why was because I really wanted to enjoy the emotions of being pregnant without having to post about anything. I enjoyed keeping the secret with just my close family & friends! It was quite special.

But I will say, ever since I shared the news last week, I felt such an outpour of love, so THANK YOU. Thank you for making me feel safe enough to share the news & this new journey we are on!

I asked you if you had any questions over on Instagram, so I am sharing some of the answers here!

Do you know the gender? Yes we do, not sure when I will share that though!

Do you have names? Yes, we are set on a name (first and middle)!

When are you due? Early May, as I am writing this, I am 27 weeks pregnant!

Can you share prenatal vitamins? I have been taking Binto vitamins. We knew we wanted to start trying so I began taking them 4 months prior to conception. It helped a ton with getting all of the right nutrients in! Here’s why I like them:

I took a personalized quiz which asked me a series of questions regarding my health, goals, and struggles.
The system recommended a few different supplements for me, depending on my answers! I was recommended a prenatal, zinc (for my breakouts), fish oil and even an egg quality supplement. But you could be recommended something completely different!
It comes in individual daily packets, so I just grab a packet & take all the vitamins. No need for a million bottles (great for travel too).
It’s a female founded women’s reproductive health company & they really care about educating the consumer (they have a huge blog of articles for infertility, postpartum etc).
Anyway, I am obsessed & highly recommend. They even gave me a code to share with you! You gotta take advantage of it, even if you want to get pregnant in the next year or so! Click here and use code Jazz20 for a 20% off discount

Here’s what I have been loving this month…

Treadmill Desk Attachment

Ive been walking at a slow pace while working & it’s helped my productivity a ton!
If you have a treadmill, consider getting this desk (just measure your tred to make sure it fits).
I also love that I am getting my steps in while answering emails & writing up blogs!

Boston Suede Clogs

So comfortable & perfect with socks! I wear them in the house & out and about!
Great support and matches with everything!

COSORI Air Fryer

Great for 2 people.
Has a pretty large surface area for turkey bacon, hash browns, pizzas, quesadillas and tons of protein/veggies.
Takes up very little counter space.
