So my blog has taken a new direction! I look forward to sharing what I'm eating throughout my pregnancy (the first 3 months weren't so pretty) and one day soon enough I'll be making my own baby food too. I hope to be able to give you a little inspiration along the way whether you're pregnant, have a family, or are just feeding yourself.
When people find out I don't eat meat (and yes this means no chicken) they often ask, 'what do you eat?' Or, 'where do you get your protein?' Today I wanted to showcase a couple of the lunches I have made this week.The first is what I would call a Mediterranean sandwich... open faced so you can see :) It's quite simple, very quick, and most importantly delicious! It's hummus, cucumber, avocado, red bell pepper, and feta cheese served with an orange and some seaweed chips. I do admit to eating my fair share of potato chips and tortilla chips this pregnancy and so I decided to branch out and try some new chips to quench my crunchy salty craving. These are high in protein, low in fat, and worth a try. Check out ocean's halo seaweed chips. They have all different flavors.
*This sandwich would be excellent wrapped up in butter lettuce, a pita pocket, or a tortilla as well.
The second sandwich is one of my favorite go-tos. Here we have a mashed avocado spread (just add a little lime or lemon and some salt) with chopped hard boiled egg (two) and some cucumber slices served with an apple and salt and vinegar pop chips. Pop chips make a great alternative to a lot of other chips on the market and I buy the individual packs on amazon to keep my portions in check.
*This sandwich is also awesome on rice cakes if you have a gluten allergy or want a low-carb option.
Hope you enjoy these satisfying sandwiches as much and BG and I do ;)
