Hello poppit I saw you mention you have pcos, have you looked into apple cider vinegar to help with this?? It helps sway blue and pcos plus is a lovely salad dressing!!

Maybe say hi on the sep boy thread we may be able to answer any questions you have there

Both those recipes look divine and perfect for blue. I think chicken thighs are great for blue!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing them and I'm sorry I didn't get back to this thread sooner, I'm still trying to figure out my most effective schedule with my new baby and the boys in school (they need the computer sometimes)

Hi guys! I'm new here but have been over on the oct chit-chat thread a bit. I wanted to share a recipe - I made a quinoa recipe last night that is perfect for ttc boy! (at least I think!)
Quinoa with Garlic, Raisins and Pine Nuts -- I used FULL SODIUM chicken stock instead of water and heavily salted with sea salt.
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Place the quinoa in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups water (or use low-sodium chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add the olive oil and garlic to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the garlic to the plate, reserving the oil.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Add the pine nuts, garlic, reserved oil, parsley, raisins and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

while I'm here - I'd love to ask any ideas you all have for proteins with your snacks. I eat a lot of nuts and peanut butter now but feel like I"m missing my cheese! What would you all eat with your fruit? Also, have you all ever had Sunbutter? Its made from sunflower seeds (got it for my daughter b/c some in her class has a peanut allergy). Its yummy but I noticed it has 25% magnesium.

Hi becca,

I love cheese and as a vegetarian there was no way I was giving it up. I felt that I needed all the protein help I could get. Cheese, yogurt and eggs are all good boy friendly snacks as long as they are not the low fat versions

thanks pearl327 - I asked over on the chit chat forum too and it seems overwhelming positive to go ahead with cheese. Congrats on your bfp, by the way!
