I also had cheese strings and yogurt in the house. Oh and my hubby sometimes made me lunch and left it in the fridge :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997864 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 21:11:36 +0000 cascademom 997864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jimmy Dean Pancake on a Stick. My favorite when we worried that colic was a result of issues with milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997853 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 21:08:43 +0000 Bookish 997853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lean pockets, granola bars, oatmeal, corn muffins...lots of crap, honestly, but I eat anything I can hold in one hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997852 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 21:08:28 +0000 MrsF 997852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @deerylou: I literally existed on peanut butter toast and apple slices for the first few (ahem, more than few) weeks of M's life. I was so overwhelmed with breastfeeding and baby care I could hardly think about eating anything else. Good for you for thinking ahead to make sure you have some good things to take care of yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997815 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:49:36 +0000 LomaLinda 997815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Muffins, trail mix, granola bars, yogurt, and lunch meat &amp; cheese sandwiches with fruit and chips were my staples the first few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997809 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:45:22 +0000 Penny Lane 997809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quiche, enchiladas, muesli bars, protein bars, casseroles, cheese on crackers, fruit, smoothies...</p> <p>and we had a constant supply of potato chips, cookies, and other assorted slices from people dropping by to say hi :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997803 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:42:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 997803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For breakfasts I ate a lot of oatmeal bakes, granola (low in sugar, actually my sister homemade mine with raw honey) with plain yogurt, and eggs with goat cheese.</p> <p>For dinners I found it was easiest to just buy premarinated meat that took 5-10 mins to cook, and steamed some veggies. With two easy dishes like that, it make it quick and easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997802 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:42:41 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 997802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about making a big pot of chili or something that you can freeze in portions? You can keep enough out for a few days, and defrost other bits as you see fit?<br /> Green smoothies have also been getting me through my mat leave so far - love my Magic Bullet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997794 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:38:26 +0000 deerylou 997794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Oh, the apples and peanut butter are certainly flowing in this house! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997788 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:36:55 +0000 immabeetoo 997788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>any type of egg casserole/quiche. buckets of muffins. lots of kashi granola bars. frozen pizza. lasagna. stirfry. tons and tons of peanut butter on crackers and apples :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997778 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:33:23 +0000 deerylou 997778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Great idea!

It's tasty and will help with your supply :). I make with steel cut oats instead of rolled oats. </p> <p><a href="http://alwaysamrsforeverakidd.blogspot.com/2012/01/gluten-free-baked-oatmeal-casserole.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://alwaysamrsforeverakidd.blogspot.com/2012/01/gluten-free-baked-oatmeal-casserole.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-mom-menu-what-did-you-eat#post-997745 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:22:13 +0000 deerylou 997745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first week home on my own with LO, and I'm finding myself forgetting to keep fed and hydrated! Today, I realized that most of our pantry and fridge items take a while to prepare, so I'm taking a trip to the grocery store tonight to replenish.</p> <p>I'm looking for good breakfast and lunch ideas that are quick and easy to grab and consume. I would also be into making large portions of a particular meal in advance, so I can eat it throughout the week, as well. I'd prefer meals that are relatively healthy, but caloric enough, as I'm breastfeeding (as much as I can muster, anyway), and have limited free time to sit down and eat. </p> <p>Tell me what you ate and enjoyed those first few weeks! Thanks! :)</p> <p>What did you eat a lot of those first few weeks? </p>
