Re: Meal planning Monday
Tuesday - chicken with garlic green beans
Wednesday - crockpot kielbasa with cabbage and potatoes
no clue beyond that. As far as cravings and eating healthy goes - everything in moderation. If you never allow yourself to indulge in a piece of chocolate or a coffee or whatever it is you’re craving, you’re eventually going to crack and end up binging on it, which is just going to cause guilt and stress. Give yourself permission to indulge a little, and then eat healthy beyond that. I also think it’s super helpful to look at those “craving this? Eat this!” Infographics. A lot of the times our cravings stem from something our body needs. We just tend to crave the less healthy versions of those things we need.
Monday- sausage and peppers, bread, spaghetti squash with sauce, riccotta and mozzarella
Tuesday- ravioli with Alfredo sauce, ham (or grilled chicken if I’m not lazy) and frozen mixed vegetables
Wednesday- burritos! Instant pot salsa chicken, beans, cauliflower rice. Cheese salsa and guac
Thursday- burgers or sandwiches
Friday- kids’ choice (usually Mac and cheese or pizza)
Saturday- take out
Sunday- left overs, or something quick with whatever I have left from this week

I try to eat a lot of veggies and keep the take out or restaurants to twice a week.
I also keep lots of yogurt around to try to keep myself from going to get ice cream every day. I’m not always successful but am looking for tips to do better!

Tomorrow night we are doing leftover because DH has a meeting and DS has a bake sale at school Thursday that I want to make stuff ahead for.
Wednesday- almond flour pumpkin pancakes with sausage.
thursday- pumpkin carving event at church that serves dinner.(pizza, veggies, caramel and apples)
friday- homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese
Saturday- ?
I have been eating healthy because I have to. GD makes me accountable for everything I put in my mouth. I eat a lot of carrots and hummus.
Tuesday- Mom is taking me out for Korean (one of my favorites!) to celebrate my graduation this week.
Wednesday- Tuna casserole
Thursday- Tacos & Mexican rice
Friday- Chicken & dumplings
Tips on eating healthy- Don't worry too much if you slip up on a meal here and there. You can always make up for it with your next meal. Just make sure to get your veggies in somehow. I got my juicer out yesterday after months of non-use and plan to use it more for the rest of my pregnancy.
Tuesday-sauteed sausage, onions, and mushrooms with bread
Wednesday-cowboy crockpot ground beef https://mandysrecipeboxblog.com/cowboy-supper/
Thursday-lemon chicken thighs and potatoes and green beans https://thewoksoflife.com/2016/03/roasted-lemon-chicken-thighs-potatoes/
Friday-Salmon and something else. I haven't decided.
Saturday-meal prepped for my husband https://www.eatingonadime.com/taco-rice-casserole-it-freezes-great/ Taco casserole but with ground beef.
Sunday-homemade pizza-veggie, pepperoni, and cheese
I prepped all these today, except Wednesday's. I am trying to buy as much organic as possible, so I need to compensate for the slightly higher costs by ensuring we don't go out to eat as much. I also prepped a couple other meals to just have in the freezer. I really can't stand cooking everyday, so I am trying out one big meal prep afternoon and hoping it frees up time the rest of the week.
Today - Leftover Beef Noodle Stir Fry (based off this recipe: https://damndelicious.net/2014/11/28/beef-noodle-stir-fry, but I add more veggies)
Rest of Week -
Instant Pot Turkey with mashed potatoes and asparagus (https://thenovicechefblog.com/2017/10/instant-pot-turkey-gravy/)
Beef, Tomato, and Acini di Pepe Soup (https://www.skinnytaste.com/beef-tomato-and-acini-di-pepe-soup/)
Leftovers
Healthy Eating? I guess I try to get some veggies into most meals? Lol. And try to limit eating out to once a week - which helps with the food budget too!
