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.

My wife has been craving sushi like crazy, due to her pregnancy. I get worried about cross contamination at sushi restaurants, even when she orders cooked sushi.

I made these California rolls from scratch at home, to make sure her sushi cravings are met, in a risk free way. The rolls are served with kimchi and soba noodles tossed in sesame oil.

Beef dino ribs slowly braised in a rocoto beef stock, with a bed of potatoes, carrots, onions, and shiitake mushrooms. Served with chimichurri, and creamed horsersdish.

Soooo bomb! The ribs are like meat butter, after the collagen breaks down during a low and slow braising

The Mrs. was craving some butternut squash soup, so of course, I obliged. Aji amarillo and squash go together like peas and carrots

Not pictured are some spices, fresh ginger, and heavy whipping cream. Really tasty soup, on a snowy night.

Ahhhhhh. One of my favorites! You are certainly taking wonderful care of Mrs +1.
