Ingredients: What Do Balsamic Vinegar, Dijon Mustard, & Maple Syrup Have in Common?

These ingredients - Bistro Blends Heirloom Balsamic Vinegar, Maille Dijon Originale, and Noble Handcrafted Tuthilltown Bourbon Barrel Matured Maple Syrup - make up the most unlikely french fry dipping sauce I've tried while pregnant. I concocted it to satisfy a craving I was having for Rebel's Carolina Mustard sauce which unfortunately was off limits in my first trimester (cayenne).

Yep you read that right; cubes and I are expecting a baby girl this coming March.

Sweet Dijon Mustard French Fry Dipping Sauce (created August 6, 2011, 4:36pm)

• Take 1 tablespoon Heirloom Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon Maple Syrup; blend thoroughly.

Over the next eighteen weeks, I'll be revealing my favorite pregnancy foods, catching you up on my recent food book purchases, and sharing the transformation of cubes' office (also known as the storage closet) into a nursery.

If you've been wondering why this blog went silent, now you know. I can't keep a secret and I was afraid I'd accidentally let our news slip if I continued writing. Sorry for keeping everyone in suspense. I promise it won't happen again.

Bon Apetit!
