Homemaking Organized Blog

One of my best friends is newly pregnant and sent me an SOS. Feeling queasy and out of energy she wanted to know what she could make for hubby for dinner that required 30 minutes or less.

If we weren’t separated by close to 3000 miles I would cook dinner for her. It’s hard when friends move. My friend is a bit of a food and a very into organic and natural foods. She has two freezers stocked with the basics.  But how to turn them into quick meals? She probably has no canned food in her home.

So what’s a girl to do? Admittedly I survived on pizza and tacos when I was pregnant. I couldn’t stomach anything else and the spiciness seemed to settle my stomach.

Quick meals in my home (that don’t com out of the freezer) are…

• Spaghetti with meatballs
• Minestrone soup (I chop quick and go)
• Canned soup and sandwiches (usually on Saturdays)
• Stirfries
• Sauteed chicken with veggies over rice
• Bakes salmon (I find this incredibly easy and it is often our Monday meal)

I’ll be coming back to this topic of course but what does one cook when one can barely stomach food?
