Eating for Two?

So I've been trying to cook a lot more for Jesse and I (and baby Hutto). It helps me to plan out the meals for the week and I think it will make my life easier once baby gets here. For this next week on the menu is:

Monday: Mexican Tacos
Tuesday: Cornflake 'fried' Chicken with mashed potatoes
Wednesday: I work so Jesse will make soup and grilled cheese sandwich
Thursday: BBQ chicken pizza
Friday: Pea-sto pasta

Here are the recipes for 2 of the meals:

CORNFLAKE 'FRIED' CHICKEN
-7 cups Cornflakes-crush them or buy crushed (1 3/4 c. crushed)
- 1 egg
- 1 c. flour
- 3 lb chicken
-3 tbsp butter, melted

in medium bowl, beat egg and milk slightly. add flour, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with cereal. Place in baking pan and drizzle with butter

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees


PEA-STO PASTA

1/2 c. parmesan
1/4 c. toasted pine nuts
1/2 c. olive oil
grated lemon peel
box of pasta
frozen peas, thawed
1/2 c. pasta water

mix ingredients minus pasta and peas and run in food processor to make pesto. cook pasta, strain but save some water behind for meal. Mix pasta, pasta water, 'pesto' and thawed peas.

Jess and Jess- plus one :)

Welcome to our blog! We wanted to make a blog so we could stay in touch with our friends and family as we welcome our newest addition, baby boy Hutto-due 7-14-2010! So come along with us as we enter this life changing moment of this crazy ride called LIFE :)

I am 18 weeks along and baby is doing great! It has been a smooth pregnancy so far, other than the fact that I want to nap or sleep every spare moment I get :)

Two weeks ago we had an ultrasound to find out if we were on Team Blue or Pink. It was a very special day for us; my parents, grandma, Justin, and Jesse's family got to be there. Our sister Kim is expecting baby #2 in June, so she got to find out what she was having at the same time! Here are some pics of the day and our sweet little BOY:



Praying he has Jesse's nose! Looks like he might... ;)





Kim having her ultrasound- Team Pink for her!!!!
