One thing you should know about the P&N editors: we all love to chow down! Good food makes us very happy around here. Especially me. I tend to get a little tweaky when I don’t have yummy goodness to eat while plugging away in the depths of the editorial powwow room. So every day I bring my lunch—usually leftovers from last night’s dinner—along with a few snacks.

Everyone always mentions how good whatever it is I’m eating smells or looks. Ironically, I’m not the best or most experienced cook, but thankfully I have a little help from my 3 favorite food writers and their awesome cookbooks…   Healthy Eating During Pregnancy by Erika Lenkert with Brooke Alpert, MS, RD, CDN. Even if you’ve already given birth, the recipes are still delicious and nutritious.   The Sprouted Kitchen: A tastier take on whole foods by Sara Forte of the amazing wholesome, healthy and super delicious food blog, Sprouted Kitchen.   And last but not least, La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an inspired life by Béatrice Peltre of the beautiful and charming award-winning blog, La Tartine Gourmande.   Check them out when you get a chance!
