I have lots of posts in store for you this week between maternity photos, diaper bag goodies, nursery tour..etc! I am going to start off with a Valentine’s recap as well as this weeks menu! Hope you enjoy.

Even though there was a threat of snow this weekend, Kevin and I decided to take a drive to Stew Leonard’s and get some real goodies! We have SUCH a busy week that I really focused on easy, quick meals to get us through so there’s no bad choices being made.

Monday: Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken! This is a newbie – throw chicken breasts, chili’s, jalapenos, salsa, corn, black beans and broth into the Crock Pot and cook on low 6-8 hours, shred the chicken and enjoy by itself, in a wrap or in a taco! I prepped on Sunday so I can just throw the insert into the base first thing in the morning and set the timer.

Tuesday: Ham, Zucchini and Cheese Panini’s

Wednesday: Black Bean Burgers. These will be easy enough to prep the night before and put in the fridge for dinner after my Dr. Appointment.

Thursday: Most likely leftovers, or something quick with shrimp or chicken – since we always have that in the freezer!

Friday: Dinner out for Kevin’s 30th Birthday!!

Kev and I decided to stay home for Valentine’s Day and make a special meal in our PJs! Dressing up right now is pretty difficult and I can’t eat much anyway…so I’d rather save money and cook something scrumptious! Enjoy!

Originally, we thought surf and turf with Filet and King Crab Legs…that was pushed to the side when we saw the delicious Lamb Chops at the store. And, because seafood isn’t top on my list lately, we settled on Scallops in a brown butter sauce with capers. I couldn’t resist having SOMETHING festive, so I made heart-shaped roasted potatoes with heart-shaped homemade butter. This was a fun and delicious meal to spend with my Valentine and rest before becoming a family of 3!

I hope you had a day full of lots of love and chocolate and only a little snow if you live in the Northeast! <3
