One more week down!
This has been the week of feeling the most insane baby kicks. Like, my whole stomach is rocking from side-to-side kicks. And we’re only at 26/27 weeks! I’m scared to see what 32+ week kicks look and feel like because this…is a lot.
Otherwise, we don’t have a ton going on. Looking forward to a three day weekend and barely leaving the house since it is supposed to be freezing!
Here’s what we’re cooking this week:
- Starting off the week with fettuccine paired with an easy tomato-basil sauce. There are instructions in the post on how to make the fettuccine from scratch but feel free to use dried if you’re not up for it.
- Next up – chickpea, spinach, and potato samosa pie. Basically an easy, casserole version of samosas – HERE FOR IT.
- On Tuesday we’re making crispy black bean tacos with mango pico de gallo. SO quick and easy.
- Sweet potato, aleppo pepper, and lime soup is getting us through a midweek slump.
- Finally, we’re closing things out with super simple spicy peanut rice noodle bowls. These are veggie-packed and so tasty.
- For dessert we’re making bakery style almond poppy seed muffins – the best.
Happy eating!
