@mdfarmchick I need a pizza place like that in my life. The nicest pizza we have around here is Mellow Mushroom.
And yes. I can usually convince him to get WH with me maybe once a year? He doesn’t actually like breakfast so I think that’s part of it. I do check regularly that he WILL get it if I really want it though, because he’s in food safety and Waffle House is the only place where I break the rule of “if he doesn’t eat there, don’t eat there, cus there’s probably a good reason.” (Pro tip: don’t eat food cooked at a gas station.)
My husband cooked a cowboy steak and asparagus on the grill and I made mushroom risotto. We also picked up our favorite ice cream for dessert. They had a Reese Pieces peanut butter and a black raspberry truffle, so we got a pint of each.
@mangoandguava MH isn't a sweet breakfast food person so wafflehouse holds no appeal to him. I don't think we've been there once in our 9 years together. We do get Bob Evan's occasionally, because DH likes their biscuits and gravy. And bacon. He likes bacon. That's pretty much it for breakfast foods lol.
@darkrose88 oh yeah, bacon. He likes that. 🙃 He has eaten pancakes and French toast in the last few weeks too, but I think that’s because I said “this is what I’m making for me, do you want some?” and he’d rather eat that than cook something different for himself.
@mangoandguava lol! I actually don't think MH would eat any other breakfast food I made. But I stopped making big batches a long time ago since I'm the only one who ever eats it.
@darkrose88 if we lived in delivery range I don’t think mine would either! But his options are eat my food, cook, or drive 15-20 minutes one way for “fast” food. Sometimes he will cook, but there’s no way in heck he’s leaving the house once he gets home for the day!
@cas060 I look forward to sharing the gender here in a week and a half!😅
Everyone’s Valentine’s meals all sound amazing!!🥰 I ordered Greek pizza at our restaurant and had leftovers for 3 days! Yum! My husband had a delicious seafood dish. Leftover from restaurants are the best!🤣🥰
I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight. Meh. I didn’t pull anything out so that really limits it and will likely make this a convenience meal. 🤔🤔
It was Waffle House night here!!!!! Somehow I managed to get syrup in my elbow. I was excited but not that excited 😆 and now I am STUFFED and I did not even finish my waffle which is an absolute TRAVESTY.
Chipotle for lunch today, followed by some strawberry pop tarts for a snack. Hadn’t had those in like 20 years lol
dinner will probably be a chicken pot pie. I’ve got one in the fridge to bake, just gotta get motivated to do it. Husband is gone tonight helping a friend move stuff around in his storage unit. He invited me to go but like, no.
I crave chicken, any type but the last 5 times (I’m sorry this is going to be tmi) it’s given me diarrhea 😭😩 I have been eating strawberries and anything raspberries lately like it’s going out of style. I can’t get enough Philly cheesesteak with olives and ranch it’s 3:30am and I woke up thinking of them! 🤪
Told myself if I ate salad for lunch all week, I could treat myself (and baby) to a pizza from our cafeteria. At $2.25, you can't beat it, and so delicious! Today I scored my favorite buffalo chicken!
This week, when I planned meals, I had this idea, and then when my husband got home from work, he saw my list of meals, and he asked if he had mentioned wanting stuffed peppers, and I said he hadn’t. He thought it was funny, because he saw a coworker eating some and was going to suggest we make some.
And so hubby and I made stuffed pepper boats! They have cream cheese in the bottom, rice, taco meat, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and some cheese &jalapeños on top. We made a pan full and baked till the cheese was gold!😋
@mdfarmchick oooh that sounds awesome. I wanted strawberries so badly the other day, but when I looked at the selection at the store, I was totally turned off.
Here’s what my pregnant self is NOT eating tonight: sushi.
There are 2 sushi places within a mile of our house. Sadly, one was badly damaged in a fire last summer and have been rebuilding since then. The other one is good, but only doing takeout and gets so busy. They also hired this new manager at the beginning of covid who is a huge asshole. When I called to place an order tonight he said it would be an hour and I said that was fine. Then he put me on hold and never came back. 😑
In better news, I got 2 mocktails at my sister’s bday party and they were great. And my mom brought brownies. Also great.
@itsme215 that is crap. I’m sorry you didn’t get your sushi. We drove by 4 sushi places and a Chinese dumpling place on the way back to the camper tonight and I wanted all of them 😝 Maybe YH can take one for the team and do an order randomly on Tuesday this week?
@mdfarmchick I think we’ll definitely try again mid-week. I think the reason I was so bummed was because we’d just talked about the risks of raw fish and decided that we were comfortable with me having a few pieces of raw salmon from this place since we eat it a lot and haven’t ever gotten sick. But I guess that’ll have to wait a few more days!
I’m sensitive to lactose and had a giant milkshake (it was the babies idea 🙄) on Saturday night. That gave me a stomachache and diarrhea yesterday. So, what did I do today? Another milkshake. 😑 I’ll surely be regretting this by morning. But it was delicious!
Then I came home and ate a pickle. Full on pregnant mode over here.
I never get to eat Arby's because its kinda to far to be convienient but today I was in the area and it did not disappoint. I could eat that roast beef for days.
My husband made a salad with craisins in it. After I ate the salad I had this horrible too-sweet taste in my mouth like I get when I try something with artificial sweeteners in them, which I go out of my way to avoid because I really hate the taste of artificial sweeteners. I had to cleanse my palate with more pasta, and then chocolate. It's extreme, so I'm assuming my pregnant taste buds are still extra sensitive. So I checked the craisins. The pack says "No artificial flavors" on it, but I guess that doesn't extend to artificial sweeteners. Ingredients contain sucralose, and I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. 🥵
