  • Loading the player...
  • Monday and Tuesday we're having roast from the crockpot. 

    Wednesday and Friday a baked, breaded chicken with veggies.

    I'd like to start cooking one weekend night to save a little money, but I don't think this will be that week lol. 
  • Thinking about papa murphys pizza for tonight. All day nausea and super exhaustion strike again. 

    No other plans yet but the only foods that don't make me gag thinking about them are salty carbs. Super healthy :(

  • DH is in Rome on business until Thursday.  I have a few things I feel like making, but I suspect that my motivation to actually do so will be nearly non-existant.

    I was going to make pad thai tonight so I have it for lunches and dinners the next few days, but that requires me to leave the house (I work from home today).  I think that I will probably end up eating a frozen pre-prepared paleo meal tonight and do the pad thai tomorrow.

    Thursday DH will be home &  I will make paleo bison & sweet potato chili.

    Monday to Thursday (I pack my lunch in bulk for the week and keep it at work):

    Breakfast: Greek yogurt and banana

    Snack: grapes

    Lunch: potato salad

    Snack: Apple Sauce

    Dinner: Tacos (whole wheat tortillas, fresh red pepper, red onion, avocado, and grated cheese

    Friday is a "treat yo-self" kinda day - I eat anything I want. Sadly I am vegetarian and can never eat enough protein...

    ETA: I'm trying to eat more fruit this week, maybe the sweetness will keep me on track and the watery fruit will help with the thirst/nausea

  • DH thought about grilling some chicken thighs some time this week. He got a new grill a week ago, so he's been grilling non stop since! It was chicken and steak last week, yum!

    We usually don't plan meals too far in advance. But, DH is determined to make sure this baby eats well! We actually eat pretty well already with most meals having a protein and at least a veggie.

    Thanks for starting this thread!  I'm going to the grocery store today and these ideas are so helpful.  I'm going to get stuff to make homemade pizza, egg salad, maybe tacos, and I'll probably get a marinated pork tenderloin.

    @MrsBinPA I wish I could make pad thai!  DH is allergic to peanuts :-(

    Edited because tagging isn't working right..
  • I anticipate a lot of eating things I froze ahead this week, since I'm exhausted just sitting here and DH is feeling a bit under the weather. 
    Tonight, probably dahl and brown rice and salad.
    Tomorrow, going out with friends.
    Wednesday, maybe salmon, potatoes and broccoli.
    Thursday, chickpea stew from the freezer
    Friday, ??? Maybe potato chowder. I like soup and I have it all preped and frozen.
    We're also trying to have a salad at lunch or dinner and a fruit smoothie every day. Gotta get those fruits and veggies :smile:
