I organized all of my loose recipes finally - they were all shoved in one plastic sleeve and now they're all in their own sleeves in a binder - I'd completely forgotten about so many of them and I love having them organized and easily visible.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

We had people over friday and saturday. Between the 2, I made 2.5 trays of baked ziti. We still have a 1/2 tray left, some sausage and peppers, garlic bread, plus beef stew from last week. I think I'm good to go for a few days.
Also, SOMEONE left a tray of butter cokies at our house and I think my husband is going to eat the whole thing this week.
Gosh, I really need to start cooking again. Because of my m/s, all things cooking smell so horrible. I just started wearing seabands to combat this, and so far so good. Anywho, I may try to cook tomorrow night and see how it goes.
Any suggestions on something kinda bland-smelling that I can cook? I have been eating a lot of pasta with butter/parm or cereal for dinner lately - I can't think of anything that wouldn't have a strong smell while cooking, unless I eliminate flavor too. I can handle pretty much all food taste-wise, as long as I don't have to smell it cooking. My poor DH has eaten a lot of wawa, panera and turkey burgers over the past couple of weeks since his cooking skills are pretty blah.
Last night we did sausage and peppers/onions in the crockpot.
Tonight: spaghetti bolognase in crockpot (I also added a bag of spinach, carrots, mushrooms).
This week we have:
pierogies
homemade pizza
black bean quesadillas
chicken and asparagus (maybe over penne pasta or orzo)
What about using the crock pot? Maybe something where don't have to do a lot of prep, but just toss everything in?
I thought about that, but anytime I use the crock pot, I come home from work and the entire smells like whatever I'm cooking in there. Usually I would love this, but not right now. I usually make chili, salsa chicken, jambalaya, pulled pork, sausage/peppers, and meatballs in the crockpot. All smelly foods. Beef cooking is especially nauseating at the moment.
Tonight: leftovers from Saturday night's dinner that DH cooked for FIL's birthday- chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes, biscuits, corn.
Thinking of crockpot chicken with pineapple and bbq sauce for tomorrow- but I have to check to see if we have bbq sauce...hmm...woulda been a good thought before I left the house for work...
Other than that, no concrete plans. I have ground beef I need to use, so probably beef & rice stir fry one night. Also have Omaha Steaks I want to use so we can get that bulky container out of the freezer, so probably that one night. We are having dinner at my parents' house one night this weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday too, which will be nice. Probably just heat up a frozen pizza or something one night. Geez, I am so uninspired cookingwise since I took on this new job assignment and its craptastic hours. I gotta get back on track.
Monday: Crock Pot Chicken with caesar salad and baby potatos
Tuesday: Grilled fish with couscous and greenbeans
Wednesday: Going out!
Thursday: Grilled Fish with rice and brussels sprouts
Friday: no idea
Saturday: Travelling
Sunday: Probably sausage and onions.
That's how I feel now. Good luck with the sea bands. They did not work for me during my first pregnancy. How far along are you?
(I'm kind of a n00b here, don't mind me!)
I've been eating a lot of veggies with pasta, fruits, rice and breads. Not very interesting, but the smell of foods sickens me, too.
Very late but I am getting back to cooking and since I have to start hiding veggies in foods now, I'm getting more creative:
Monday: pork and twice backed potatoes (which contains veggies)
Tuesday: Veggie pasta
Wednesday: Meatloaf loaded with hidden veggies and flavored rice
Thursday: Lasagna rolls
Friday: leftovers.
I am about 10 weeks. I do much better with breakfast since it tends to be boring for me anyway - oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, etc. I just don't feel like eating the same food for all of my meals!
mon-chicken, stove top, spinach
tues-turkey meatloaf, mash, string beans
wed-beef stew in the crock pot
thurs-shrimp stir fry w/ brown rice
fri-pizza
i also made a chicken, pepper, onion & mushroom mix for lunch to put on wheat tortillias to eat for lunch for a few days. i did that with chicken veg soup last week. i am trying to save $ and not be tempted to buy anything bad to eat for lunch
sunday - chicken, diced tomatoes, string beans and mozz cheese
monday - broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken, pierogies, brussel sprouts
tuesday - steamed shrimp, veggie, brown rice
wednesday - pasta w/broccoli and light alfredo sauce
thursday - stuffed peppers with rice and black beans
friday - not sure
Tracy - I had the worst m/s with my first. I used a face mask when cooking to block most of the smell. Once it was finished and I was eating it, it wasn't too bad, but the cooking was the worst. Tiny bits of candied ginger under my tongue helped throughout the day as well as clementines and graham crackers.
Mon: Shepherds pie
Tues: hamburgers, vegs and tots
Wed: bbq chx sammies, vegs and baked potatoes
