Friday evening, David\u2019s parents, Mema and Grandpa, arrived! We knew it was only for a quick visit, so Saturday we wanted to squeeze in some fun. We decided to be wild and take the boat out for a bit.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n It was cloudy and slightly cool, but the lake is always beautiful and the passengers were happy.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We cruised for a bit, admiring some of Lake Norman\u2019s finest.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Then we came to a sputtering stop. It turns out we had a leak in our gas line. Luckily with two engineers on board and with the help of a friendly neighbor, David and his dad patched it up, allowing us to get home. During the down time, we played some games to entertain ourselves.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n On a side note, I just can\u2019t believe how big Hailey is getting. Where\u2019s that pause button again?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The afternoon brought football, the most ridiculous, lucky happenstance I\u2019ve ever seen in college football, a painful loss to Auburn that Georgia deserved to win, oh\u2026 and chili!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I promise there is chili behind those Fritos Scoops and under my pile of toppings. But is there any other way to eat chili? I think not.<\/p>\n Sunday meant meal planning and grocery shopping. Even at 15 weeks pregnant, I still sometimes find it difficult to pick out a week\u2019s worth of meals. I feel good, with only random bouts of queasiness, but my appetite clearly isn\u2019t still completely normal. Nonetheless, I powered through and am excited for what this week brings.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/span>– Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits<\/p>\n Monday<\/span>– Broccoli and Cheddar Soup with Crusty Bread<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/span>– Slow Cooker Chana Masala<\/a> over Brown Rice with Naan (new-to-me recipe)<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/span>– Grilled Steak Sliders with Crunchy Lemon Garlic Green Beans<\/p>\n Thursday<\/span>– Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole<\/a> with Salad (new-to-me recipe)<\/p>\n Friday<\/span>– Veggie Pizza and Salad<\/p>\n Breakfasts<\/span>– veggie eggs on bagels, oatmeal, tangerines<\/p>\n Lunches<\/span>– leftover soup, salads,<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I played around with the chicken noodle soup recipe, and the secret is definitely in simmering a whole chicken to make your own broth! The biscuits, however, were step-by-step from Jenna\u2019s Cheddar Chive Biscuit recipe<\/a>. David LOVED them.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For the food, I hit up 3 of my favorite spots.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Josh\u2019s Farmers Market<\/strong><\/p>\n $21.26<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n then to satisfy my current bagel kick\u2026<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n NY Bagels<\/strong><\/p>\n $11.73<\/strong><\/p>\n (This buys 1 dozen bagels and 1\/2 lb of house cream cheese. I freeze half of the bagels for the following week. It\u2019s a pretty good deal!)<\/p>\n
