Menu Plan Monday - July 29 - August 2

Long time no... well nothing.

A lot has happened here. Life has been busy with lots of family in & out of town constantly, preparing for baby, my already in this world boys, work, summer and well this pregnancy.

I found out a few weeks back that I have Gestational Diabetes. What? How? I'm not overweight and I don't eat bad? Apparently enough people in my family do because it was in my genes.

The hardest part has been finding dinner ideas that can serve our whole house. My husband is a meat and potato guy and my kids LOVE their bread, pasta & potatoes. Yes they still get it but even my husband agrees its not fair for me to have to cook that every night for them and not be able to eat it myself. So the whole house has taken on a new and healthy version of eating.

The Internet is not my friend here. Pretty much when you search for food ideas for gestational diabetes you find the same 4-5 meals over and over. With that I decided it was a good time to get back into sharing my menus with OrgJunkie to help others out.

As always I will try to update the post throughout the week with recipes as created.
