This morning I was in the bathroom getting ready and I heard, “Mom might like to take a picture of this!” and Cate came running back to find me. They had cut open a grapefruit and were waiting to eat it until I took a photo. It was really cute. Nate continued to have breakfast with the girls in the kitchen. They have been having the cutest conversations. I came into the living room, having missed most of what had been said, but I did hear Cate say, “Mom sure is a good cook, but she’s not a good planter!” I guess that’s why I do not have a gardening blog. 
I’m back to eating normal food. Woohoo! My mouth is almost back to normal, which is so nice. Thank you all for your well wishes over the last two weeks! Our menu pretty much went out the window last week since we were busy as bees getting my sister Anne all settled into her apartment, which we have fondly named ‘Anne’s Cottage.’ It’s been a lot of fun!

Your turn! Please share your lovely menus!
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
I’m in the process of making mine, and jumped over here for some inspiration
On the bright side, I made pizza for the first time in 6 months the other day, and used Buffalo Mozzarella (from Costco). It was excellent and did not require an anti-nausea pill afterwards, so I’m doing pizza again this week and am kicking myself for not trying the buffalo mozzarella earlier.
Starting my 3rd trimester today, so there is light at the end of the tunnel in being able to digest dairy again
So far I have:
*Grilled Fajitas w/Spanish Rice and Chips/Salsa (Not sure if you’re close to a Sprouts, but if they carry Tacupeto chips you MUST buy them. Like, real restaurant chips in a bag.)
*Sausage, Mushroom and Bell Pepper Pizza with Green Salad
*Baked Salmon with Brown Rice and Green Beans (serving this the day before my glucose test, so not overdoing the carbs/sugar)
*Spaghetti with homemade sauce, French Bread, and Green Salad
*TBD
*TBD
*Leftovers
the last meals are:
*Spinach Salad or Cobb Salad
*BLTs with Avocado. (Actually BLAs, we don’t like tomatoes
good luck with the last trimester – the home stretch!!! and so glad the buffalo mozzarella worked for you, you deserve some good cheesy pizza right now!
Love this idea for a site! Sara, at the end of the week is where I am exhausted (thursday nights especially), so I usually plan soft scrambled eggs + salad. Cheap and easy. Here’s my menu so far:
Sunday: Whatever is the freshest fish @ the store, rapini w/chili and anchovy, sauteed brussels sprouts w/garlic
Monday: My bf will be cooking steak & salad
Tues: A spinach/hardboiled egg/harissa/toasted almond mixture with lavash I think? (Recipe from Heidi Swanson)
Wed:Mashed potato & celery root with____ something?
Thurs: Eggs & salad (told u Sara hehe)
Friday:Homemade pizza, dough made thursday night
Sat:out
I’m not sure what to make with the celery root mash (I don’t like chicken really)
OR,
Tuesday I would make pasta w/greens & rosemary/garlic
and Wed I’d make ww israeli couscous salad w/figs, almonds and arugula. Feeling very indecisive, as usual…
