One huge lesson I learned after giving birth the first time…PACK THAT FREEZER with things you are excited to eat!


This time around I plan to take this seriously and am going to be starting with these delicious “monster cookies” featuring Hu Kitchen. #sponsored

These cookies pack so many nutritious benefits that will serve me well postpartum and if breastfeeding is in the cards, but also are amazing for today whether you are pregnant or not! They are an amazing snack, sweet treat, part of a meal or really any time of day option. You could even make them again with some added protein powder to really be more of a breakfast cookie too!

I’ve said this before, but once you try Hu Kitchen chocolate you will never want to bake with another chocolate chip or bar ever and in this recipe you will really taste why!
