Thai Peanut Rice Bowl

and Mother's Day

May 11, 2025

One of my favorite portraits of motherhood is captured in this job interview. Yes, being a mother means sacrificing things, but also it’s filled with much joy, laughter, discovery, and adventure.

I started Comfy Belly as a young mother because I was confused, frustrated, and desperate to find a healthy path forward for my older son. I wanted to know if food was the answer. In the end, I learned that it was not just food and medication that was needed. It was also fresh air, sunshine, sleep, friends, laughter, down time, challenges, kind words, good thoughts, and a village of teachers, parents, friends, nurses, doctors, and family dogs that would get us through those years. I’m grateful for every moment, memory, and struggle that got me to where we are today.

And speaking of food, here’s a quick and easy recipe for Thai Peanut Rice bowls using coconut cauliflower rice, veggies, shrimp, and peanut sauce.

Wishing you a great week ahead.

xoxo,

Erica
