Life update + 3rd pregnancy!!
Gosh I can't believe it's been 7 months since I've updated the blog!! So much has happened since then! We got pregnant with our 3rd child in June and found out in September we are having a Baby GIRL! It's been an awesomely easy pregnancy and I feel great so far! I'm going to update some about my pregnancy thus far just for my personal records.
This was taken when I was about 6/7 weeks pregnant.
Boys didn't have a clue what was going on. Can't believe they were only 3.5 and 18 months here.
12 Weeks pregnant here.
16 weeks pregnant here and carrying differently than with the boys!
Baby girl at 16 weeks!
Toddler meals
Wednesday, May 18, 2016
I'm a loser and love seeing what other moms feed their kids. I get in a slump every once in a while and don't know WHAT to feed my kids .. Like really ..lunchtime is the worst! So here are just random meals and honestly my 16 month old is going through the picky stage so it's a complete guess if he will eat what I fix but everything I am showing he either ate or tried (and then puts the rest in a cup hole on his high hair or throws on the floor!)
French toast that I make ahead and freeze, fruit and sausage.
PB toast and orange slices. What I do when I am lazy. (I usually do another fruit if I don't feel like even cutting up an orange! --yup, lazy but just being honest!)
Bean & cheese burrito, carrots, and grapes. Sawyer wont really eat veggies so a pouch it is.
Turkey sausage pasta, corn, and blueberries. Easton's favorite pasta. It looks weird but its good!
Mac n Cheese, broccoli, and strawberries. Sawyer wont eat mac n cheese ( I know) so I make him quesadillas).

Breakfasts for the week are pretty much the same stuff we always eat:
Frozen waffles, French toast, cereal, fruit, eggs, oatmeal
Lunches:
Leftovers, cheese quesadillas, peanut butter sandwhiches with fruit
Recipes:
Sloppy Joes: Adapted from this recipe.
ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 medium onion
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. tomato paste
salt to taste
3/4 cup ketchup (may need some more)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 cup water
a couple shakes of Worcestershire sauce
Kaiser rolls ( or any buns you prefer)
Directions:
Brown ground beef, drain off most liquid. Add chopped onions and peppers and cook for a few minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute or so. Add all of the seasonings, tomato paste, water, Worcestershire, and brown sugar and simmer for 15 minutes or so. Add to buns and enjoy!
Baked potato Soup: Adapted from this recipe.
Ingredients:
5 slices bacon, diced
3 tbsp. butter
1 cup white onion, diced
2 cups milk, warmed
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1.5 lbs. potatoes peeled (Yukon preferably)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
*I cook sometimes with bacon and sometimes without but when I do- I bake it in the oven on 400 for 2o minutes or until crispy and crumble it.*
Heat a stockpot over medium high heat, add butter and melt it. Add in onions and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add flour over top and mix. Cook for another minute. Pour in chicken broth until combined. Then milk, potatoes, and bacon. Continues cooking until comes to a simmer but not boil, while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer for 10-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes so it doesn't burn on the bottom. Add in greek yogurt, seasonings, and cheese, stir. Enjoy!
Burrito Bowls: I just brown ground beef or cook chicken and add taco seasoning. Then add on top of cooked rice, with lettuce, black beans, corn, salsa, avocado, etc.
For my hotdogs, I usually just put them in the crockpot on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours and they come out tasting SO good! I definitely don't make hot dogs all of the time but this week I asked J for something he wanted and he said hotdogs! lol
