What's For Dinner? | Pregnancy Edition

Ever since I posted the first (and only) What's For Dinner? blog post, I've had people (OK, like, 2 people) requesting me to write more about easy, family-friendly dinners. I've recently developed an enjoyment out of menu planning and Crock Pot cooking (because let's be honest, if it involves a stove, chances are I'll start a fire) and was even photographing many of the meals I was preparing with the intention of writing more What's For Dinner posts.

And then I got pregnant.

If I were to write about what I've cooked in the last 9 months, it would be Tums and Maalox. Oh, and I've reheated leftover pizza, which totally counts as cooking.

So here's my What's For Dinner? Pregnancy Edition.

The secret Foster "How To Survive Pregnancy and Not Starve Your Family" recipe is as follows...have your husband do 99% of the cooking.

I wish I could say I've handled the exhaustion, nausea, and general pains of pregnancy with humility and grace, but that would be lying. So instead I have just enjoyed Mike cooking almost every meal and am thankful that he didn't get offended when most of it didn't stay down for long : )

So here's to you, my wonderful husband, for not only putting up with a crazy pregnant woman, but keeping her happy and fed as well!
I have to give Liam credit too. After all, no meal would be complete without his "help you stir?" skills!

A homemade pizza for my birthday!

See, he can use the stove WITHOUT starting a fire! Be still my heart!

I'll leave the "how to raise a perfectly mannered, clean, calm child" blog posts to some other mother...

Making biscuits for breakfast!
 We're totally sanitary...

 So there you have it! Look for more What's For Dinner? blog posts in the future, but for now I think I hear a piece of cold pizza calling my name!
