Postpartum Month of Meals
June 29th, 2008 by HeidiMaking some changes to Mojo menu. This one is pretty heavy on the protein since we don’t normally eat a lot of meat. We also need stuff without dairy as a staple since most of our kids react badly to dairy while I nurse. And I wanted EASY, easy so I can prep meals in the few minutes I’ll have. This is also giving us our final shopping list for pre-baby, since I’m 34 weeks today and that means I’ve probably got 4 weeks until this little one is going to arrive - and possibly less! Time to get moving…

Mr. Chopstix (C’s request)
