Made chile lime fish taco bowls with citrus cream dressing for dinner tonight. I’ve been drooling thinking about it all week waiting for my avocados to be ripe enough to eat with it! I know some can’t stand fish during pregnancy but I am loving it! I’ve also made it with shrimp and might try that next time. I can’t get enough!
@komamommy those look amazing. I bought a bunch of fish in today's grocery order. I'm hoping my stomach will still want it when it comes. I plan on making a delicious scallop and fish chowder.
Any ideas for dinner this week? I usually try to plan about 3-4 meals a week, but so far all I have is burgers. All I really want is pasta...every. single. meal. But I know DH is sick of that.
@whitta1015 I've got pork chops/broccoli/rice, chicken parmesan and beef enchiladas on my meal plan. Hoping I have the energy and appetite to actually follow through with making them this week. Poor husband and kiddos have been stuck with sandwiches, pizza and takeout/fast food more often than I'd like to admit.
@mnmomma84 same here on the sandwiches, pizza and takeout! I feel bad, but it's so hard to meal plan/cook when I don't know what I'm going to want for any meal until right before!
@whitta1015 we're doing sausage/roasted peppers/quinoa, tacos, fajita bowls, and Alfredo shells with broccoli this week. We'll probably also end up doing a frozen pizza one night and Mac and cheese with frozen meatballs another.

@whitta1015 Two healthier meals I've enjoyed recently were split pea soup with buttered sourdough toast, and salmon with roasted sweet potatoes.
I feel the worst at dinner and most protein and vegetables are still making my stomach turn so it's been so hard to plan healthy meals for the family. I just want to eat carbs, but my husband was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few years ago and eating carb-heavy meals makes it really difficult for him to control his blood sugar. He's been cooking a lot which is nice and he's a decent cook, but I haven't been able to stomach much of what he makes because of my aversions and I feel terrible about it. He's just cooking so much for a picky wife and picky toddler which I know isn't fun.
I did just spend 20 minutes going through menus for Indian restaurants and I am having some serious cravings for a paneer dish and I might need to make that happen soon. I haven't craved something this hard in a while but I can't stop thinking about it haha.
@whitta1015 I love cous cous with arugula and tomatoes, flavored with lemon juice. It gives that pasta feel, without being pasta. Also there are recipes for a Mediterranean style orzo (tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, chicken) that are amazing! It would be pasta, so craving satisfied, but the flavors might be different enough to satisfy the rest of the family. I’ve also found rice&beans seem to satisfy my carb craving without being pasta every meal.

I think I will make this soup this week. It is pasta, but also a soup so maybe it can pass as not another pasta dish for you @whitta1015 but also satisfy the craving 😉

So, apparently, I am currently "torturing" the boy person (his word) by eating bread sticks. Dude, I didn't tell you do to keto, that was entirely your own choice.

@kboydbowman are they olive garden bread sticks? I would like some too please with all the Alfredo. We don't have an OG near us or else I'd be eating them up every day.
@jhysmath They were indeed OG bread sticks. I also have homemade Alfredo sauce that the boy person made (he is doing keto, so he is dipping pickles and such in them).

@jhysmath@kboydbowman the last time we ordered takeout from Olive Garden, DH went to pick it up (about 20 mins each way) and when he got home with the order THERE WERE NO BREADSTICKS IN THE BAG!!! Can you believe that?? I might have cried. 😂
@lalarose22 I hear you! The shark that was delicious the other night now makes my stomach turn at the thought of eating the leftovers.

We have a fridge full of food. Sunday before the stomach bug, I did a big grocery pick up order. When you don't have to walk around the store it's easier to buy things.... Well after the stomach bug I want nothing to do with any of it. I took scallops out of the freezer Saturday night and I'm pretty sure I just need to toss them now. And the chowder I was going to make isn't going to happen.... But with all the food in the fridge and none of it I want to touch, we're going to get dinner so I can eat a sandwich because that sounds nice and we don't have it at home.
Nom. A mushroom/spinach/cheese omelet appeared in front of me. Protein for my strawberry!

Pot roast with potatoes and carrots. All last week I made veggies stew and I can't eat another bite. I'm so sick of it and it's sad because it was easy and convenient 😭 I'm on to pot roast though so we'll see how long it lasts.
DH grilled cheeseburgers last night and they were the best I've ever had! Tonight I'm making this... (link below)...one of my favorite recipes! Probably not the healthiest, but so good!
We had homemade tacos last night, and guys, they were incredible. They were so simple and not even remotely fancy (meat, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes), but they hit the spot that I didn't even know I needed hit. So much yum. 😋
I made stuffed crescent rolls the other day and I’m going to make them again asap. My 4 year old and husband loved them!
I cooked ground beef and added 1/4 cup onion and a small can of green chiles and taco seasoning. Then I put a scoop of that mix and some mozzarella cheese in each crescent roll and rolled them up. Baked them for ~17-20 mins at 350F. Sooooo good!
I get a caramel apple once a year on my birthday, instead of cake. Demolished 2 today. I’d normally feel guilty about the extravagance but I’m just thrilled I’m not nauseous on my birthday and can enjoy it (knock on wood lol).
I have eaten out the past four days in a row. I can’t cook anything without feeling bleh and am also living off of saltines and McDonald’s. I really want to eat healthier and am trying to eat fruits too but omg the guilt is so real. I’ve never eaten out this much. Ever. I had some aversions with my first but never like this. All I want is carbs.
@chelsraec I can totally relate to the eating out guilt. I can't bring leftovers for lunch anymore (they never sound good), so I've been eating out almost every day. I just remind myself it won't last forever!
Lunch today is Campbell's Thick and Chunky Chicken Pot Pie soup...and a few leftover OG breadsticks. Nom.

Have been going through McDonald's drive through almost every other morning for a sausage egg muffin. It's a good thing they don't have breakfast all day anymore because that might be the only thing I'd be eating. Will have to wean myself off the breakfast sandwiches soon...can't do this my whole pregnancy and expect that I'll fit in my clothes ever again!
@mnmomma84 there is a McDonald’s near me that does breakfast all day 😬😬😬 I’ve been eating a few too many egg McMuffins this pregnancy lol. I mean, there are worse things though …whatever
