Yes, its only lunch time and I'm already thinking dinner.

What's everyone having tonight?  I'm always looking for new ideas.

We're having leftovers - Orechiette with Sausage, Beans, and Mascarpone.  I tried this recipe last night - super easy and good.  My only change was to add garlic.

Grilled (via George Foreman) chicken and brussel sprouts. Not very creative or adventurous, but quick and easy. That is what is important on week nights.

Mini meatball subs.

I've never been a big brussel sprouts fan - - how do you prepare them?

Not a clue.  I just ate my leftover tofu and veggie stir fry for lunch.  No idea what we're going to do for dinner.

I'm having a micro lasagna and Nathaniel will be having some mac and cheese. Not feeling too hot today.  Not sick, just tired...

 My first trimester sucked, and it wasn't nearly as icky as yours has been. Hope you feel better!

 Dinner?  IDK, probably "fend for yourself 'cause I ain't cooking until Sunday"

I have a sinus infection, so I can't taste anything and I can only fathom eating soft foods that don't require much chewing.  I'm also exhausted by the thought of cooking.  All I can muster the energy for is pasta with sauce from a jar.  Plus bread for DS (he hates pasta) and salad for DH.  Not exciting.

I absolutely love the b sprouts.  They are my favorite fall/winter vegetable (I know that makes me a super freak, but I grew up in the midwest with a big old garden in my backyard - fresh sprouts were such a winter treat - totally worth wading through the snow to cut them off the frozen stalks).  Now I buy them at Trader Joes as they have consistently good quality ones.  

This recipe will make anyone a sprout fan:

Trader Joes and Wegmans also sometimes have chiffonaded (sp?) sprouts in the prepared food section, which is where they have been sliced up super fine.   They are packaged with the saute oil and other prepared ingredients, like sliced shallots, for a quick and easy sauteed veggie to have with dinner.

Oh, and dinner tonight?  DH is out at a corporate function so I had a very gourmet dinner of a Chobani paired with a crisp apple and a cheese stick.  Feeling totally lazy in the run up to the holidays.

Spaghetti with meat sauce, ground turkey & ground chuck!!

cheese filled bread sticks from the freezer section.

 

I'm not as violently ill as I was in my first trimester, but I still have constant nausea & dizzy spells.

I'm not cooking like crazy these days

Totally trying this!  Thanks so much for sharing.  And it gives me an excuse to make a Trader Joes run today.

Most of the time I just do the microwave steam bags and add butter. We love them. When I have time, I steam them and then sautee them in butter. They are delicious but everybody has different tastes.
