Thegreenchilemonster Cooks For Three

Since I recently found out that my wife is pregnant, I'll be cooking for 3

I figured I would share dishes throughout the pregnancy that are focused on providing an expecting mother the nutrients she needs to develop a healthy baby.

All of the meat I cook with will be organic, grass fed, and hormone free. All of the vegetables will be organic, and mostly home grown, until the season ends.

There will of course be chiles used in every meal, as always.

To start things off, last night I made this grass fed organic grilled butterflied leg of lamb, curried chickpeas, and steamed broccoli. Lots of quality folic acid and iron in there.

I marinated the lamb in olive oil, fresh garden rosemary, and a diced aji limo, before grilling it up.

That sounds like a great idea, Braised lamb shanks are so freaking tasty!


I pulled a lamb shoulder out of my freezer yesterday. I'm going to smoke it tomorrow for some pulled lamb tacos.

I'll probably be picking up another box of lamb from Costco soon. $100 for a whole butchered box of New Zealand lamb right now. Can't beat that price for a whole 30lb. lamb.
 
My wife wanted breakfast for dinner, so here is s rehash of Sunday's breakfast. Chorizo and eggs, french toast, bacon, pan fried potaoes, and roasted and peeled Hatch green chiles. A generous coating of cotija was also applied. Maple syrup was drizzled on the french toast, post photo.

Damn thats some good value lamb TGCM!
 
Ive been looking into it since you mentioned it to me a while, going to be doing this myself in the new year after i move. Bit pricier but always wanted to try some saltbush lamb and think this is the perfect way to do it. I also like the idea of my money going directly to the farmer...
 
Kickass meals mate, they all look fantastic!
 
Una parrillada Argentina

Tira de asado, chinchulines, morcilla, chorizo, y un chimichurri casero picante.

My wife also made an asian style avocado dressing for the salad.

My next of kin is eating well tonight!!!

Space them out a little more. Mine are less that 2 years apart and having a 2 year old and a newborn isn't any fun, I promise

I believe you, byt we can't wait too long, if we want a second. My wife will be having this one at 37 years old.
 
Blackened flounder, littleneck clams steamed in an aji limo/nitrate free organic bacon/white wine sauce, roasted carrots, and roasted potatoes/nitrate free organic bacon/brussels sprouts.

Our developing daughter is full after this meal, and giving me a high five from the womb

Congrats, man! I didn't know that you guys found out if it was going to be a boy or a girl! That's awesome, dude. Really happy for you! :cheers:


She's gonna be eating like a princess too! Last time we had "blackened" fish at my house was only because I forgot to take the frozen fish sticks out of the toaster oven ;)
