Okay, so food is becoming a challenge. Not because of the commitment to use the book or really even the commitment to eat vegetarian, but because nothing sounds good. Hence the carry-overs and second-tries from last week’s meal plan. Actually, I take that back. What does sound good? Boxed mac n cheese. I ate so much of that stuff in my other two pregnancies.
Also, we are going to be gone a lot over the next month or so. That’s tough. What do you do when you are feeling puny and are staying 3 hours from home? What do you do when you aren’t the one cooking (besides nap…frequently)? We’ll see. This weekend is our first big weekend out. I’m taking the Vita-Mix, collard greens and some frozen fruit for some smoothie backups. With today’s gag fest, maybe I should take the peppermint tea leaves I just bought, too…
