What My Pregnant Self is Eating 2/1

vinerie · February 2018

I love talking about food, so let's do it.

What did you eat for breakfast today?

What is your go-to snack?

Kids make life busy after work/at the end of the day. What's your easy-but-relatively-healthy go-to dinner? Bonus points for recipes.

Breakfast today was a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and a McDonalds fruit and yogurt parfait - so much yum! Go to snack has been any kind of nut mix or trail mix I can get my hands on - especially the spicy cajun ones.
Easy dinner is chicken meatballs that we buy already made and cooked from the store, they come in different flavors but the caramelized onion is our favorite. Saute up with some spaghetti sauce and serve over pasta for DH and the kids and zoodles for me. In fact I think that's what we're having tonight!

Breakfast was a breakfast burrito that I make and freeze. Go to snack is hummus and chips. Easy dinner is a chicken and salsa in a crock pot and serve either over rice, or taco/burrito style with the fixings.

I'm so happy this thread was started again. I want to eat all of the things. ALL OF THEM. I need inspiration.

I had bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin for breakfast.

Lately I’ve been snacking on nuts, particularly cashews.

I’m all about crock pot dinners. Tomorrow I’m making buffalo chicken.

I seriously just had the best Starbucks barista. He started singing “You can have whatever you like” and when I asked if they had blueberry scones (cause you know the whole menu isn’t on the drive in screen) he said “Of course we do, it’s Starbucks! Come on down!” He knows what a pregnant lady likes to hear.

1st breakfast was cereal. 2nd breakfast was a breakfast burrito lol

Snacks are usually fruit, string cheese, crackers etc. Nothing insane.

Im happy I’m back to normal eating meaning like fish and veggies.

Ground chicken tacos are good kid meals in my house, or taco rice which is just rice topped with whatever ground meat mixed with taco seasoning. Top with black beans, cheese, sour cream and eat with Tostitos, no fork!. Or cheese omelettes. Breakfast for dinner of any variety haha.

1st breakfast: blueberry bagel w/cream cheese
2nd breakfast: strawberry yogurt with a little granola sprinkled on it
lunch: leftover Korean Beef Bulgogi lettuce wraps from last night's dinner

I recently signed up for Gobble delivery service so I'm seeing if it helps me with cooking dinner while trying to manage a 14M old running around yanking things out of my cabinets.

I had breakfast tacos today because I had my OB appointment at 11 and treated my before-nerves. Usually I have Jimmy Dean D'Lights at work, I am addicted to them even though they are probably grossly processed.

Easy healthy dinner we do a fair amount is zoodles with ground beef or ground turkey and canned crushed tomatoes. We have two different zoodle tools but lately I have just been buying the premade ones and then all I have to do is brown the meat and add in the crushed tomatoes and some seasoning and pan fry the zoodles for like 5 minutes and dinner.

I subbed in the 5th grade wing during my 2nd pd (their 1st pd - it’s a weird schedule). That class got these amazing local bakery donuts for something so I ate an extra one.

Lately my go-to snack is mini candy bars leftover from Christmas. Being back at the middle school every day is kicking my ass, and I need the energy boost from the sugar. When I can manage to walk in the grocery store without gagging, I want to get some Belvita soft oatmeal bars.

For quick, easy, relatively healthy dinners that even DH can make, I pressure can spaghetti sauce with ground venison. I make a big batch, like 16-24 quart jars at a time. For spaghetti I just boil the pasta, drain it, add the jar of meat & sauce, and make sure it’s heated through. For a non-canning alternative, you can heat up frozen meatballs in the microwave. Cook & drain the pasta, throw the cooked meatballs back in the pan with the pasta, and pour a jar of marinara sauce on top. Make sure the sauce is heated through and serve.

Another quick dinner is chicken noodle soup. I use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. I chunk up a bunch of the cooked chicken, add it to chicken broth. Add seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, celery flakes, parsley, whatever you like. I also add a bit of Worcestershire sauce and paprika. When it boils, add egg noodles. When the noodles are done it’s ready to eat.

You ladies are crazy. I feel so yucky the idea of cooking just makes me want to vomit!

breakfast is normally oatmeal, lunch is whatever, I had a Big Mac today. Haven’t had one of those in years.

snack was a bagel.

Dinners that are easy are being made made by my husband so corn freak dogs or frozen pizza. Ugh. I can’t wait to feel better and eat normal again. Oh our kitchen is being remodeled so that doesn’t help lol.

Breakfast was egg and proscuitto on an English muffin.
Lunch was jimmy johns because they deliver and I had no time to leave at work today.
Snack was part of a Rx bar and hummus with carrots and chips. It’s usually that or rice cake with almond butter, or plantain chips.

Go to dinners are tacos - burrito bowls sometimes, but I typically do the chicken in the instant pot with salsa verde, pulled pork in the instant pot, burgers on the grill, loaded baked potatoes. I’ll make ground turkey mixed with bbq sauce, spices, crushed tomatoes, onions, kind of like a ‘sloppy joe’ Mix and put it on top of the baked potato. It’s delicious.

Someone brought in a giant bag of starburst today so I picked all of the pink ones out and I've been eating them all day. SO AMAZING.

proudparent2b · February 2018

What did you eat for breakfast today? Iced hazelnut latte- the milk and nut extract in there make it healthy, right?

What is your go-to snack? I’ve had a fruit cup and/or can of soup almost daily. Hydration is an issue this pregnancy, so I try for items with higher water content

Kids make life busy after work/at the end of the day. What's your easy-but-relatively-healthy go-to dinner? Bonus points for recipes. Tacos, quesadillas, and sloppy joes are often in the line up. I add frozen bell peppers and onions to up the veggie content, as well as a veggie side and guacamole or potato side. With leftover taco, sloppy joe, or pulled meat, I’ll sometimes mix it with breastfast potatoes, extra veggies, and topped with a little cheese for a ‘leftover hash’ of sorts.

Breakfast was disappointing BS courtesy of my local Chick Fil A that SUCKS! I ordered an egg white grill and got a chicken biscuit with eggs and cheese! A million more calories than I like to eat and GROSS! I wrote a strongly worded email because I'm pregnant and can.

Lately I have been mixing lightly salted almonds with Life cereal. So good!

Go-to dinners are easy things like tacos, spaghetti, burgers. I usually buy the lower-fat ground beef and watch portions as best I can. We also do breakfast for dinner quite a bit.

derbysquirrel · February 2018

What did you eat for breakfast today? White rice. When that wouldn't go down, applesauce.

What is your go-to snack? applesauce

White rice, maybe some chicken.

It's been a rough week.

ladygali · February 2018

This morning I had leftover mac and cheese because that’s the only thing that didn’t make me want to gag. Second breakfast was a chicken biscuit meal from Chic Fil A. Lunch was a chicken salad sandwich and dinner was leftover taco chicken made into quesadillas. I’m going to have to get out of bed to eat something though or I’ll never fall asleep.

Next week we are going for meatless meals, so a veggie minestrone soup, roasted vegetables with tortellini and pesto, and rice and bean tacos.

LC12261012 · February 2018

Just had oatmeal for breakfast.

Lately I’ve been snacking on string cheese, cheese and crackers, apple slices and strawberries.

Our go-to easy dinners are spaghetti and meat sauce, tacos and bbq chicken.

neeraja_k · February 2018

A typical breakfast this week is 3 small pieces of cold turkey, a piece of sprouted grain toast with a smidge of earl grey blueberry jam, and 4 or 5 strawberries. It's rather filling and satisfying till lunch, no need for second breakfast.

Snacks have typically been almonds, celery, baby carrots, or corn chips.

All hail the Instant Pot for pregnant dinner cooking! Although last night I made hamburger stroganoff the old fashioned way on the stove, and it was delicious.

I just had tostinos pizza rolls and a couple chicken nuggets. Yum. I have no interest in fruit or vegetables right now.
