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.

What you are saying is Brooklyn needs a Costco :D
Costco has the best lamb, and the best deals on lamb in my area. Whole butchered NZ lambs are $100, and Australian rib chop racks fluctuate between $15-$22, depending on market prices. Halal as well, so my Muslim brothers don't have to skip out on any meals or parties I throw.

Dungeoness crabs in season, which started early November in Cali, are always low price during the first few months of the season.

I shop for the deals, man, and in this instance, Costco delivered the goods!
