$6 dinner for 2

We have this once per week and I am obsessed with how good, easy and the fact that its so cheap is a bonus! Its chicken teriyaki from trader Joe's for $4.99

I put it over this rice that is $1 and you just microwave it

The jasmine is my fav! I would do the whole grain but Justin hates it so I go with the jasmine.

If I have it I'll saute a red pepper and onion and throw that in too!

I'm no Lexy Gradwohl here but I have to share this because I would love to know about anyone's easy dinner ideas, so please share if you have any!

Pregnancy Cravings

So I was wondering if I would get any cravings or how I would know if it was just a food craving or a 'pregnancy' craving but I have figured it out!

The difference between and regular craving and a pregnancy craving is when you are prego you crave the same thing EVERYDAY! Usually if I am craving a certain food, I have it then I am over it. Now, like tomato soup for example, I want it everyday for lunch!

Speaking of tomato soup, I went on like a 5 week Bender and had it for lunch like 5 days per week (hey it wasn't a wine bender so its all good!). If a friend wanted to meet for lunch I would literally call around and find a restaurant that had it, ha ha! And I found the BEST grilled cheese and tomato soup in Portland at Paragon Restaurant in the Pearl. Its made with rustic bread and 2 kinds of cheeses, it's ridiculous (and I already have plans to meet a friend for lunch here on Friday just so I can have it)This is what it kinda looks like:

Other things I am craving:

Love some hot coco with Marshmallows! Or just Marshmallows will do!

Last week I craved breakfast food (which I rarely eat) and wanted it EVERYDAY!

Are you kidding m,e with this orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream? Its amazing!

Justin loves it too and is hasn't lasted long at our house

And I have had an apple every single day since I have been prego. All fruit really has just sounded amazing and I can't get enough!

Tell me some of your pregnancy cravings and I'll try them!

Baby on Board!!!

Well I haven't been blogging because its just too hard to write about things when I can't write about the biggest thing going on in my life!

We are expecting our first baby October 2nd!!! I'm 12 weeks, and will be 13 weeks prego tomorrow and its been so hard keeping it under wraps for so long. We found out late January so you can imagine how hard it was for me (out of all people) to not tell the world but I managed!

I have been feeling the most tired and physically exhausted I have ever felt in my entire life. No Morning sickness though.... but I seriously cant believe the exhaustion. Also I am a craaaaazy moody chick sometimes and even punched Justin 1 time!!! These hormones are really doing a number on me.

Justin has been ridiculously patient with me however we have had a few fights where he forgot that I am totally irrational and always think I'm right. But regardless we are both absolutely thrilled to be expecting a baby. I know for a fact how big of a miracle conception is and I feel really blessed (and I seriously never use the word 'blessed'- I actually think its kinda ridiculous but there just is no other word to describe it at this point!)

MAY 4th we find out the gender of Baby Bors and the countdown is on for that......39 days!

Here is a little picture at 9 weeks of out little cutie pie

I am not really 'showing' yet but let me tell you my pants are TIGHT! And my chest has grown a few cups sizes that's for sure. I'll take a belly pic soon and post it.

More to come!

Happy St. Paddy's!

What a great Holiday this is! Yes I'm 1/4 Irish and have a 4 leaf clover tattoo but I am not going out and partying, I'm just gonna stay in and relax tonight.
I have been officially "called out" by my friends for lack of postings..... bitches! ha ha ha!
I really dont' feel too creative and don't feel like I have much to say but here are the things on my mind this week:

1. The bachelor finale......total proof of why when a guy chooses it never works out (the bachelorette almost always works out w/ her guy!) He chose Emily and sure she is pretty but she is SO NOT into him. I give them a few months but it has breakup written all over it! Already excited for the next bachelorette though.

2. Went and saw the Adjustment Bureau this last weekend. It was okay, but don't rush out and see it. Matt Damon seriously makes every movie better than it would be though, he's amazing!

3. So going to see Limitless w/ Bradly Cooper this weekend! I love him and this movie sounds AMAZING...

4. Sales results came out  today and I'm ranked #1 in my company in all 3 categories- net new biz, gross sales and # of accounts....not too shabby! It made me feel good and want to work harder to keep it going! Plus like managers from all over the west coast emailed me to congratulate me, which was so nice!

That's all I got for now, lots more GOOD postings coming next week ;)
