Amy – your suggestions and the comments sound very exotic. This is coming from the house where James doesn’t like things that are “green”. No kidding. Plus two full-time working people right now w/ no kids…not nearly as neat as all your meals sound.
Frozen pizza
Frozen 15 min chicken alfredo meal in a bag
Frozen 15 min stirfry meal in a bag
Hot dogs
Nachos/Fajitas
See a trend??

This would not, however, include all my preggo snacks! Raisins, whipped yogurt, string cheese, strawberry/cranberry fiber bars, KIND bars-yum!, guacamole, apples, bananas, grapes, goldfish, jello…

I forgot one thing: Egg Sandwiches at Starbucks (egg whites and turkey bacon on a whole wheat english muffing)

mmm trader joes is definitely a must for me too. i am really into the unsulfured, sweetened, and dried mango. it’s chewy and really sweet and just plain awesome. and if you’re a spicy kind of girl, they have chili-flavored ones too!
and trader joes’ flax tortilla chips are a STAPLE in our house! they have a veggie version too (red, green, AND yellow) and they are soo good and they make me feel less bad about eating too many chips!
aaand (i’ll stop after this one, i promise!) they have tomato and roasted red pepper soup that comes in a soy milk-looking carton, that stuff is amazing.

Hi Amy. Glad I found your blog. It’s great! I love Trader Joe’s. I never had one until I moved here. This may sound really gross but, it’s become a fave of mine lately…a baked potato with an egg cooked over-easy on top and steamed spinach on top of that, with parmesan cheese. I love it. I also eat a ton of hummus, Lara Bars, Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free granola, Trader Joe’s coffee, Mango (fresh and dried), Oatmeal with blueberries and almonds, bananas with peanut butter and raisins…I could go on. I like food.

*Good Coffee
*Multi-grain English Muffins topped with peanut butter and banana
*Clementines
*Healthy Choice Turkey Kielbasa
*Roasted Corn Soup from Trader Joes
*Oatmeal
*Yogurt Covered Pretzels
*Paneer Tikki Masala and Naan from Trader Joes … our standard Friday night meal with a glass of Red Wine
*Frittatas (same concept as soup … you can throw in lots of leftovers)
*Last night, ginger beef short ribs in the crock pot (new recipe from Robin Miller on Food Network) … to die for, but definitely NOT on my diet

I am intrigued by the wheat berries. I’ll have to try those! My girls actually love beets, but I find them to sort of taste like dirt. Maybe I need to try them anew. Thanks for your thoughts!

I’m big into roasting veggies these days…anything I can throw on a sheet pan with olive oil and S&P goes.

I also have recently found wheat berries which are so yummy and satisfying…especially when added to the roast veggies to make them last longer

I have some beets that ‘processed’ in the summer when they came in our CSA and now I have defrosted them and have been enjoying them on dark greens with some tuna and poppyseed dressing.

But other than that…I’m in a rut. Currently the fridge is barren and our cupboards aren’t much better…there isn’t even enough to feed Little G tomorrow…guess the grocery store is at the top of my to-do list once again
