One of the things that saves me on a regular basis is the pre-cooked perdue chicken, I can get a three pack at BJ's for just $10 and itcan be used in so many different ways. My current favorite quick meal for all of us is to cook up some extra wide egg noodles and a bunch of frozen broccoli (all in the same pot - they cook for the same amount of time), chop up some of the chicken, drain the noodles and mix everything together with a bit of oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic. The whole thing takes less that 10 minutes to prepare and isn't all that unhealthy.

i'm making a grocery list (which is almost too much in itself!) for my dh that basically consists of anything frozen and prepackaged from trader joe's. amy's stuff, taquito's, frozen bag dinners (gnochi, rice w/veggies), veggie corn dogs, veggie "chick" nuggets.

it's ironic that right before i got pregnant i went shopping for all the staples so i could make even more of our food at home (tortillas, crackers etc.) and now i can't even look at the bag of flax seeds without gagging.

you sound like me! I was making our bread and pizza crust and such at home. Now I have frozen pizza sitting in my freezer...and whole wheat bread from Sam's club on my counter...

I am so glad people understand

veggie burgers! I'll have to pick some up. That's a great idea and lots of protein.

Leah, this baby is also conspiring against my wish to go organic :

I get a lot of premade stuff from Trader Joe's for dh and ds (sprouted spaghetii, sauce, frozen meatballs, frozen enchiladas, pesto pizza, natural hot dogs, chili, boxed soup). I got some Larabars and sushi from Costco today too. I also treated myself to some allergen-free chocolate cookies formthe HFS

I mostly eat snacky things, salad with lots of dressing, and fruit.

If it makes you feel better, I have been snacking on salt and vinagar kettle chips today and it seems to help me I am usually a nutrition fanatic, but that will start again 3 weeks form now......

We've gotten a bit more takeout than usual (hurts the budget but we talked it through and it seemed like a worthwhile tradeoff for a short time) and we get different things for takeout. dh gets whatever repulsive thing he wants and I usually get soup of some type. I am really digging homemade soups so I have cooked some soups too. I have dh help me a lot more in the kitchen b/c I cannot tolerate some smells. Greasy things, onions, peppers, etc make me want to hurl. And meat of course. We've been having more mild things too like huevos rancheros, I love corn tortillas and black beans/eggs. Lots of cold meals because those don't stink. Sandwiches and salads. COld pasta salads.
