A normal non-holiday week, yay! This week our main meals are

Monday -Spaghetti
Tuesday -Spanish fish
Wednesday -Leftovers
Thursday -Curry chicken
Friday -Mexican quinoa skillet

Normally I buy all of our weekly groceries on Monday, but the fatigue got me today. I have just plucked up the courage to put on pants to make tonight's dinner.

GTKY -Has your cooking routine changed already? 
I can't brown beef anymore, smells like ammonia. Luckily, DH is always ready to help in the kitchen, whew!

Meal plans are out the door this week. The food aversions and nausea is REAL. I bought groceries yesterday and this is what we have in the house:

ingredients for chili
ingredients for tacos
bread, eggs, biscuits, jelly, sausage 
mac & cheese and mixed veggies to mix in
bagels 
potatoes and all the fixins
ham, cheese and slider buns 

So it’s going to be a day by day thing, based on how I feel and what time hubby is home. Today is toast for me and other breakfast foods for DH & DS.

I had every intention of meal planning this week but then Work happened and I’m too tired to think tonight. DS wanted oatmeal and DD and DH were ok to have leftovers again ha. I’m thinking we’ll do some kind of pasta meal with ham and veggies this week, tator tot hotdish, leftover night and one night is free night because the in-laws cook when we go to their house for bible study.

@djh513 Ohhhh! Chili! I couldn't think of a single thing that sounded appetizing and then you mentioned chili. You're a genius!

Food aversions are real for me right now. I am trying to eat healthy still, but it’s so hard! 
My husband is gone for work, so just cooking for me and the 5 year old. I baked some chicken and sweet potatoes for lunches and leftovers this week, and we ended up having tomato soup and grilled cheese. It was one of the only things I could stomach tonight and it’s my sons favorite so we might just have it every night for a while

We do blue apron or hello fresh usually which I love to keep out of the rut of cooking the same things over and over. But I am finding it more and more difficult to find things on the list that sound appetizers and even more difficult to make it through the meals we receive. What sounded okay a week ago is awful today!!

@echocharlietango I browned ground pork today and couldn’t eat a bite. Smelled like a barn. Yuck. During my last pregnancy I couldn’t touch chicken, but this one is looking a little like no meat at all!

We're so sick of Thanksgiving leftovers, and thankfully gave a lot away to the guests that come to our house. Never want to see a turkey again!

Monday -Meatloaf, broccoli and sweet potato
Tuesday - Grilled sandwiches and soup
Wednesday -Lamb burgers with salad
Thursday -maze gohan,fish and miso soup
Friday - I've been promised a calzone from my favorite Italian eatery in the area. Right now it sounds like heaven.

I cannot be in the same building as chicken cooking currently. Smells like death. Unless it has been so heavily seasoned it no longer resembles chicken, at which point, why bother.

So that's the plan anyway, but the reality is I'll probably make those things and then end up making oatmeal or a breakfast burrito to eat instead! It keeps happening.

@smm1118 I've always wanted to try Blue Apron! Is it amazing? Does it seem like you save on groceries because you don't buy as much random stuff that goes to waste?

@stlmegs OMG grilled cheese sounds amazing! I think that's what we are going to have for dinner tonight. Yum!
