    I'll start! I'll also point out that I have gestational diabetes, so these are GD friendly in case anyone is looking for that! We're going out tomorrow and Sunday, so I only have a few...

    Tonight - Stir fried chicken and snap peas with quinoa fried rice

    Friday- Sloppy Joes (or as my husband calls them, Sexy Sloppy Joes, because I make them from scratch and top them with melted cheddar and carmelized onion) We'll have them in a wheat wrap.

    Saturday - Spicy black bean and vegetable soup (I'll prob add some sort of protein to this, maybe chicken or a fancy sausage) https://allrecipes.com/recipe/12999/black-bean-vegetable-soup/

  • SO has been gone all week and isn't returning till tomorrow night.  I've made nothing!  Just been eating leftovers and takeout.  

    The past two nights I've had Panang Duck Curry and leftover quiche.  LOL.

    I think tomorrow night for SO's return I'll make some mashed potatoes from scratch, and a dijon glazed salmon or something.

    Ahhhh @annabenanna I LOVE quiche and totally hadn't thought of it. I'm getting so sick of just different types of eggs for breakfast because of my GD, but I don't think I'll ever tire of quiche! 

    If anyone has any GD friendly breakfast ideas, send 'em my way! I so miss pancakes, waffles, and loading up on fruit and potatoes. 

    ETA: I just did the math and I could have a QUARTER of a quiche for breakfast if I want. And just like @lauren0216 I am so hungry all the time so, BRING ON THE QUICHE! Last week we went to dinner with friends and DH met us there after appetizers. We got the bill and I got some major side eye from him because unbeknownst to him I ordered a couple appetizers, a salad and my main course (all pretty healthy stuff, just a lot of it). "Whaaaaat? I was hungry!" He just laughed and shrugged.

  • @Julia70286 , I LOVE QUICHE TOO! :)  I actually bought two kinds for the brunch I hosted last sunday:  bacon asiago and spinach mushroom.  There were leftovers for both kinds.... but now they're gone.  LOL.  
  • I've been trying to be all stepford wifey with housework, looking purty, Baking cakes and other such goods, but meal planning is so not my thing...
    I can cook rather well, and extravagantly, when I put my mind to it, but weekly regular dinners and feeding my jerks kids stuff they won't pick at is hard and sucks and I need helpful tips and advice!
    Also welcome crock pot ideas!

    You guys.... we made this for dinner Monday (leftovers Tues) and it was SOOOO good and SO easy! We made zucchini and broccoli for the side and even put a little of the sauce on that, too. Yummm.

    Tonight we're having crockpot salsa chicken in tacos.

  • Ughhhh.... Pre-pregnancy, I rocked at this. Now? Not so much. 

    Monday- leftover pizza
    tuesday- BBQ grilled chicken, pasta and corn on the cob (this was a craving meal, and it was soooo good) 
    wednesday- out
    thursday- chicken and stuffing 
    Friday- out with my parents
    saturday- date night! We're going to an outdoor bar at the beach for dinner to put our feet in the sand and watch the water. I'll miss the drinks, but I'm still stoked. 
  • My meal planning this week (as usual) has been pretty basic:
    M: Philly Steak Sandwich
    T: Taco Tuesady!  Turkey tacos
    W: Freschetta Three Cheese Frozen Pizza 
    R:  Spagetti and Meatballs (I'm trying to cut down on carbs to get weight gain in line so I might just have meatballs on a flatbread and make it like a meatball sub)
    F: We are taking my son to meet my parents so well prob eat on the road 
    S:  Grilled Steak with Grilled Squash 


  • @Julia70286   Do you have a Costco membership?  They have a really good prepared quiche in their refrigerated section near their cheeses and lunch meats.  It comes in a 2 quiche package.  The calories are relatively low for quiche and it is minimally processed as I could read and understand all the ingredients.  Usually I just make it from scratch, but right now, I'm all about short cuts.  Get the food in my mouth as fast as possible...ha!

  • Tonight: Chili Cheese dogs, grilled Caesar chicken drumsticks, and ranch style beans. Easy, but flavorful :)
  • I hosted book club with my girlfriends on Wednesday and I made roasted veggie enchiladas.  They turned out delicious, which is a good thing because we have a ton of leftovers!  We also have a bunch of just roasted veggies left over, so I'll probably make some salads with those this weekend.  

    Earlier this week, we had ... Turkey burgers, spaghetti with turkey meatballs and caesar salad, and balsamic roasted brussels sprouts with bacon.  The turkey burgers and turkey meatballs were premade (frozen), so they make for easy and delicious meals!
