That’s Some Good Stuff

Ryder had a pretty rigorous therapy schedule this week, 3 days in a row was a little intense, so both of us decided to indulge in some comfort foods!

The first day we shared a chocolate milkshake and french fries:

     

I know, it’s shocking that I finally gave him chocolate, but I wanted to treat him to something extra special for being such a trooper during his first week with all of this therapy!  I’m not surprised at all that he liked it because this was definitely my major craving while I was pregnant with him.  Then the diabetes put a stop to that, but as soon as I had him, I went on a 2 week binge of chocolate shakes & fries while he was in the NICU.  It’s about the only thing I remember eating.  It was sweet for us to be able to share this special treat a year later!

The next day it was onto another favorite of ours…Cracker Barrel french toast!  YUM!

It is a lot of driving, so I’m pretty sure that stopping for food is going to become a tradition on the days we go to therapy.  I really enjoy this quality time together because the rest of the day is spent in the car, at therapy, and then I have to get to work…so this little food stop is our only real one on one time.  Hopefully I can find some healthier things to eat in the weeks to come, but like I said, this week we both needed some good comfort food.

And let me tell you, it was some goooooood stuff!
