If I See One More Steak....


So I have about 6 weeks of pregnancy left, and my iron levels keep dropping despite any effort I make. I'm now up to two iron pills each day, and as much red meat as I can manage (I refuse to eat liver, as any sane person would - sorry mom.) As you can see by this week's menu, I have scheduled 6 dinners that include beef and hopefully I can squeeze a few beef-laden lunches in there too. My next iron test is in 10 days and I am determined to have my numbers go UP instead of DOWN this time.

I apologize to my chicken-loving friends. I don't have much to offer you right now. Just know that I envy you.

Oh and for those of you wondering what the baby's nursery will look like, I'm thinking of a black and white cow-theme. Just kidding. You know, I bet this little boy will grow up to be a vegetarian. Ha ha.

What an awesome blog. I'm going to use some of your meal plans. Dinner planning is always stressful, and your recipes look so good!

thriftin and craftin-
glad you found my blog. Funny enough, I just found yours yesterday too from a link off of crazy mom quilts. I'll make you a deal - you can copy my recipes and I'll copy your cute quilts :-)
