You're transforming from the Queen of Pregnancy to the Sovereign of Spit-up, and it’s a ride, to say the least. Somewhere between feeding the adorable mini-human (who's just a little too similar to that cute potato you forgot in the pantry) and deciphering just how many days it’s acceptable to wear pajamas in a row, you’ve probably realized you need some time to nourish yourself.

The Recipe: Spinach Cake – No, It’s Not Weird, It’s Wonderful

- 1 cup all-purpose flour (preferably scattered stylishly on you like an art installation)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder (for that rising Phoenix Mother energy)
- Pinch of salt (a reminder that you’re salty, sweet, and everything in between)
- Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon (adds a zing like those epic diaper change maneuvers)
