Meal Plan Monday

Any good ideas?  My husband keeps looking up recipes and then we try to figure out what we sub the ingredients for with what we actually have.  Looking forward to someday actually going grocery shopping again.  

Also I am thinking of making this a monthly thread.  Just seems pretty quiet.  Thoughts?

Tacos seem to be on the menu all the time now.  Hiding that meat with some homemade salsa, beans, and cheese.

I've been on an arugula, fruit and goat cheese kick lately. I've made this arugula, strawberry and goat cheese salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette a bunch of times over the last few weeks. Also we make pizza now almost every week and I've made mine with fig jam, prosciutto, arugula, goat cheese and a balsamic reduction drizzle. Yesterday made crostini's with prosciutto, goat cheese, nectarines, arugula and a balsamic reduction drizzle....lol can you tell there's a theme here? It's just such a good mix of sweet, salty, peppery, creamy goodness.

@bearmomma1 all of that sounds awesome!  I'll have to ask DH to be on the lookout for fig jam, we've been making a lot of homemade pizzas as well and I always forget that about the fig/prosciutto combo.

This week we've got the following planned:
Gnocchi with a creamy sausage sauce (last night)
Shrimp & mushroom pasta
Hoisin sauce chicken sliders
Chicken pesto pizza

yum! 

I have lots of arugula in the garden. It’s a little too spicy for my heartburn but it would be great with some fruit I bet!

ive been eating a lot of  not so nutritious Snacks 

When I make something there is usually a lot of tomato cucumber basil and balsamic. Nice and refreshing.

So I have been eating way too much ice cream. I read that article that Bump sent about sugar consumption being really bad for the baby. (Obvious but I needed to read it) I don’t drink soda or anything but feel like all I want is sugar so my intake is probably too high 

so I started making popsicles in this handy popsicle mold. It comes with sticks (that you can loose and it’s ok unlike the popsicle molds I used to have where I would always loose the handles)

i made chai popsicles. Yum! 
banana, yogurt, oat milk, and Blue Lotus brand chai powder

some I swirled in peanut butter which is super good. 

Next I think I’ll do banana and cocoa powder and swirl peanut butter (I’ll probably add a LIttle maple syrup for extra sweet)
