It’s been awhile since I posted a Menu Plan, sorry. With my pregnancy being further along I’m focusing more on prepping for a baby and getting the nursery ready. I’ve still come up with a menu most weeks (but usually not until Tuesdays).
Menu Plan
Monday: Homemade Bread Bowls with Broccoli Cheddar Soup (I’m made it once, but I’m trying out the recipe again. I’ll post the bread bowl recipe later.)
I’ve been telling you that since beginning this 2nd trimester I’ve been a LOT hungrier, especially in the mornings. I’ve been eating 2 breakfasts because I just get really hungry so fast after my serving of Homemade Granola and yogurt in the mornings. Last week I started teaching again and I needed a breakfast that would be quick and would keep me full longer. I came up with a recipe that I’m going to try most mornings to make. It’s so easy, and eggs are a pregnancy power food.
I know I didn’t post our menu plan last week – sorry! I’m going to try and be better about it now that I’m through my first trimester and I have practically my full amount of energy!
Have you ever tried out ziplist? (I explain what it is in this post.) I use it to plan out my menu, make my grocery list, and when the time comes, click on the link to cook the meal. It helps me to be organized and makes things go so smoothly!!
I know I didn’t post our menu plan last week – sorry! Our favorite meal was the Taco Pizza my husband envisioned: Refried Beans as the sauce, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, ground hamburger with taco seasoning, black olives, tomatoes (which we added to the pizza when we were halfway through cooking it), and shredded lettuce (added after taking out of oven). So good!!
Menu Plan
Quick Chicken Parmesan from Eating Well
Monday: Costco hotdogs (we are shopping at Costco and just grabbing dinner there – $1.50 for a meal each!)
Now that I’ve officially announced that I’m pregnant, I’m probably going to be using that excuses for many things. Especially since I’m in the first trimester still, it’s VERY hard to menu plan when you are nauseated and many meals you look at don’t sound appealing. It’s been hard to menu plan.
So I planned on posting about the Sourdough stuffing, but I think I’ll show you just a few pictures I took. This is what cooking for Thanksgiving looks like when you are pregnant – semi-messy table and cutting everything sitting down (with a pillow propped behind [...]
This week is a pretty full week!! Seems like November is full of weddings and, of course, the normal family gatherings.
Guess what we did?? We already started decorating for Christmas this last weekend!! I’ll have more pictures to post tomorrow, but here’s our Christmas tree:
Our favorite meal last week was probably the Crispy Pork Medallions & Garlic Fries. I don’t have a picture, sorry, but you should try it!!
Menu Plan
Monday: Golden Corral – since Veteran’s Day was yesterday, my husband will get a free buffet tonight!!
Hi! So glad to see you here. I'm a soon-to-be mom, wife and a work-at-home piano teacher and tutor. I know I'm weird, but I love to menu plan, organize, set goals, DIY and enjoy life with my amazing husband - Matt Pool!
