I love the flavors of traditional huevos rancheros, but the restaurant-style ones are loaded with fat. This version uses Napa cabbage instead of iceberg for more nutrition and whole-grain wraps instead of tortillas.
Craving: Thirst Quenching – Love That Bump Lemonade
Many women told me that they couldn’t get enough lemonade during their pregnancies, so I wanted to develop a lemonade recipe that was easy and not overly sugary. First, you’ve got to use fresh lemon juice: the concentrate just doesn’t cut it. Then you’ve got to sweeten it. This one’s made with honey, which I find really delicious. If you prefer sugar, heat the same amount of natural sugar (or more if you’ve got a sweet tooth) with a cup of water on the stove until you get a syrup. This “simple syrup” then gets mixed with the lemon juice and water.
Momma’s Meatloaf
Potato chips are back on the menu! These are lighter than most store-bought varieties because we oven-bake them. Smoked paprika makes them even more flavorful.

Celebration Cocktails
Once you’re on the 21-Day Immersion Plan, you can enjoy one of these cocktails.
Oatmeal Date Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate feel-good treat. And you’ll feel even better about these because they’re made with high-fiber dates and oats and chocolate chunks.
Ruby Sparkler
While I love cocktails, I’m no mixologist and usually go for simple combinations, preferably with bubbly. And if the drink is gorgeous to look at while you sip, like this one, that’s even better.
Rhubarb Plum Syrup
Rhubarb grew wild in my mother’s garden. Growing up, I remember plucking gigantic stalks and munching them right out of the ground while my mom laughed. Rightly so, I’m sure my face was twisted into a pucker from the vegetable’s significant tang. These days I prefer my rhubarb mixed with some sweetness. This pretty syrup makes a lovely spring spritzer with sparkling water or an elegant cocktail, like the Ruby Sparkler
Rainbow Slaw
My friend Esi was the inspiration behind this brightly hued salad made with red cabbage. She serves it with pulled pork. The slaw can be made one day before serving.
Maui Tropical Fruit Salad with Passion Fruit Dressing
Before my husband and I got married, we were lucky enough to take a trip to Maui for a food and wine festival. We stayed at the amazing Travaasa Hana Hotel, then called the Hotel Hana Maui, and visited a truly incredible fruit farm called Ono Organic Farms. I had eaten tropical fruit before, but it tasted nothing like the sweet, highly colorful, intensely fruity gems we sampled at Ono. While you’re not likely to find tropical fruit that’s quite as perfect as what you’d get in Hawaii, you can certainly transport yourself to a more oasis-like day with this delicious salad.
