Dinner During Pregnancy

Cooking dinner has been a bit tricky for me during pregnancy.  During the first trimester, I was ridiculously tired after teaching all day…although, I didn’t have any morning sickness, so I can’t complain!!  I also have had a real problem eating leftovers.  Brandon used to call me his “leftover champion,” but pregnancy has pulled me right out of the race.  Needless to say, I have had to try a few different recipes to see what worked.  For almost all of the last five months, I have craved fish…salmon, tilapia, SUSHI, you name it.  It’s tricky because it is recommended that pregnant women eat fish only around once a week…umph!  So, you better believe that at least once a week we are eating fish!  

All of this to say, I added two new dinner recipes tonight, one of which is a salmon recipe.  I hope you all enjoy!

Oh, and regardless of the funny things your body does during pregnancy, I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed me this experience, and I am enjoying it thoroughly!!

FYI

I realize that it may look like I NEVER update this blog because there is only one post (now two!) on here.  However, I do periodically add recipes to the pages…so it is as though I am secretly updating.  

For example, today (I am on spring break…woohoo!) I added these recipes under their various pages:

      David’s Honey Mustard Drumsticks (my younger brother’s recipe)

      Glorious Beef Stew (my mum’s recipe)

      Tomato Basil Soup

      Green Chili and Corn Mini Muffins

      Pancake (etc.) syrup

 

So, if you feel inclined take a look, print them out (or conserve paper and use them straight from your computer screen), and enjoy!

Welcome!

As many of you know, I failed miserably at keeping up my recipe page on Brandon’s blog.  So, I thought I might give it another try on my own blog!

A few disclaimers:

1. The recipes on this blog are not my own personal creation.  More than likely they are from family, friends, Martha Stewart, allrecipes.com, or foodtv.com.  I have amended some recipes, some are perfect replications…but none of them came to me as I was falling asleep one night (it goes to show, there is nothing new under the sun…Ecclesiates 1:9).  I just don’t want to infringe on any copyrights…
2. This is a recipe blog…and for the time being, it will remain only a recipe blog.
3. Just so we are all clear…I am not going to get on any soapboxes about certain foods or eating styles.  These recipes are what I fix for Brandon and me to eat on a daily basis.  I strive to serve relatively healthy, balanced meals, and I try to balance my grocery budget with a growing interest in “green” living.  
4. If you try a recipe and have a comment about it, post it!  I want to know how to make better meals, and these recipes are not without error…so, let’s all work together on this!

Okay, I think that is it.  As far as navigation goes, the different pages at the top categorize the recipes, and under each page are pdf links for each of the recipes.  Click on a recipe and enjoy!
