Erhhh guys..we are back in! After a few indecisive moments, hubby and I agreed to just do it now. We've been eating steak a few nights a week..what are everyone else's dinner ideas? I hate cooking meat (big factor in why we never eat it! Lol )

I'm not a girl mom on the HE diet, but I think my DH and I naturally eat a "HE" style diet (and definitely were when we conceived DS). If you don't like manipulating or touching meat very much, maybe try your crock pot? I make chicken or beef or pork in there once a week and eat it tons of different ways (over rice, in quesadillas, in chili, in soups, etc) and it's so so easy! Also, one of our favorite easy meals (that I think is HE?) is spaghetti and meat sauce. We are also big casserole eaters - veggies, rice or pasta and meat all in one. I'm so jealous of your steak!!!! I haven't eaten it since April and we normally eat steak 2x a week.

Welcome back. I'm actually having steak, baked potatoes, and carrots for dinner.

I'm used to making a 3 course dinner every night. I always cook meat with dinner. I usually season the meat and put in the oven and bake it. It's so much easier for me that way. Raw meat grosses me out big time but I barely have to handle it that way. We have always eaten a boy friendly dinner but it's usually only my second meal of the day so that sways pink lol. Like blue bonnet says, crock pots are great!! I make spaghetti with ground beef and red sauce often, and it only takes about 20 mins to make.

I am vegetarian, but I cook legumes and lentils every day with veggies....we eat lot of veggies and carb in food...Potato is usually once a week..but now I am eating baked potato every day...any more ideas on the veggeterian diet..I make sure I eat 3-4 hardboiled eggs in breakfast...Please let me know more suggestions...

Thanks ladies for the suggestions! I have been using my crock pot a lot... it makes the cooking meat thing a lot easier. And ya, I def try to eat a colorful diet and get as many fruits and veggies in. After reading a few of atomic's essays i started now eating high fat organic cheeses and yogurt daily. I eat handfuls of seeds/nuts throughout the day to keep my protein intake up. I wasnt a huge snacker so this is hard for me. And I miss coffee..I cut down to one cup but I'm used to having 3 a day...but I figured I should do this regardless of gender because that much coffee during pregnancy cannot be good.

I started eating eggs daily too..is hardboiled the best? I usually scramble them with veggies
