New Home, New Friends, New Foods!

We've moved across the Atlantic and are settling into our home in Qatar.   Now that the dust has settled, it is time for me to get back to posting regularly.  Lila is 11 months old now and eating table foods, so I am pureeing less and chopping more.  The produce selection here is limited, since we are living in the middle of a vast desert.  However, the Qataris import quite a bit of goods, but we do not have the variety that we find in the States.  So far, we are enjoying the tiny green zucchinis that are produced in this region because they are tasty and dirt cheep.  I balance out that cost savings with indulging in organic spinach and rasberries imported from the U.S.

We have joined a mom's group and are already enjoying meeting a number of nice women and kids from all over the world.  I hope to begin a healthy cooking class series through this group. 

More to come soon...
