Menu Plan - Aug 12th

Here is this weeks menu, a day late but here!!

Monday - out to dinner

Tuesday - Baked Pork Chops, Pasta & Corn on the Cob

Wednesday - Crock Pot  Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Thursday - Sausage Bake based off this recipe.

Friday - leftover soup

Saturday - fend for yourselves. I'm taking my oldest out school shopping so we won't be home until later in the day.

Sunday - Grilled Chicken, Sugar Snap Peas & a lightened version of Potato Salad.

These last two weeks I've been getting yelled at by my doctor as I keep loosing weight with this pregnancy (due to the low carb diet I'm on) so I have been trying to slowly put more carbs in my diet (pasta, potatoes, etc.) and monitor very closely those serving sizes. Although this seems simple it's not because one night one cup of pasta is fine but the next night one cup puts my blood sugar over it's limit which I then get yelled at for that!

Only 5 more weeks, only 5 more weeks... just keep saying that.

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.
