Fair warning... I'm just entering into my second trimester of pregnancy and am having a tough time eating. Bagels and cream cheese seem to be the only thing I can keep down in the am so they're here to stay for a few weeks. I also have aversions to chicken, oatmeal, black beans, and meatballs which makes life a little difficult some days. Let's just say we'll have some interesting meals for the next few weeks.

Click on the meal name for a recipe. We use MealBoard which stores all your recipes, generates your shopping list, organizes by aisle in the grocery store and gives you a total price for your list. I round my prices up, so it's usually a little lower. You can find out more about MealBoard here.

We're heading to a BBQ on Saturday night, so we only need a side dish and dessert.

We have a freezer and pantry stocked with veggies, and we always get extra lettuce since we both love salad. We also have a club pack of vanilla yogurt from Wegmans that we can add to breakfasts or snacks. (I adore pineapple in yogurt!)

Here's the shopping list after we removed the items we have in stock (staples and cheddar cheese that I caught a sale on last week).
