trouble is, i've spent forever online scouring pinterest and allrecipes and i'm just not in the mood for any of it. ugh. why does that seem to happen so often on my menu planning days?! i've had trouble this pregnancy repeating foods. it seems like i always "just ate that." sooo, anyways, i've got enough ideas to keep us fed for the week although i think we'll also have our fair share of breakfast for dinner because who doesn't love that?! especially because i've only been eating eggs and toast for breakfast for the past several months so i can't even remember the last time i had something like german pancakes or waffles or crepes.

reviews
monday- the parmesan baked potato halves were great. they would taste way better though without the potatoes though. a baked butter, spices, parmesan cheese patty? mmmmm. still, i'd probably make these again... even though regular white potatoes aren't really my thing. it's a one dish veggie that requires about three seconds of prep time. that's my kind of food.
tuesday- i made this cheese lasagna with meat. i browned about a pound of ground beef with one small onion chopped and added it to the sauce. instead of 30ozs ricotta, i used probably about 20 ozs of cottage cheese. and i used only one egg instead of two. other than that... i pretty much followed the recipe as closely as i ever do.
wednesday- i made the spinach, carmelized onions and feta pizza with this alfredo sauce recipe which i actually didn't end up halving. and thank goodness for that because the sauce was so good i found myself eating it with a spoon before it was even fully done. i used a lot of garlic and it was amazing. my first experience carmelizing onions turned out really well and the pizza was fantastic. i added crumbled bacon at the end because honestly, it just seemed like the right thing to do. i used pizza dough because i had it on hand but next time i'll try it with a ciabatta bread or something.
thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday i honestly can't even remember what we ate. maybe we ate leftovers or sandwiches or sweet potatoes all those days because really, we had a ton of food.
monday- honey decided he was in the mood to grill hotdogs for labor day lunch. they were delish. that night we had fettuccine alfredo with the leftover sauce.
tuesday- my christopher had a migraine and didn't want to eat so i had a banana sandwich and he had cereal.
