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.

 you know it
and the portion to the rest of the meats is right my style  :drooling:
 
i couldn't eat like that daily anymore, but giveme an angover mornin or some sheet that i aven't done stupid in years  :P
omg breakfast can be a great big bowl of; week old  menudo or freshmade, and grilled morcilla right off the grill, and i would appreciate both equally   :metal: 

not everything eaten that is less common is delicious, but...
somethings are love/hate for a reason
imo, some flavors are just absolutely delicious to some, yet sadly others don't appreciate it  :confused: even a little bit.  :eh: 
like, wat are you talkin' bout' ?
not gonna stop me from enjoying those distinct flavors that only some apparently really appreciate 
 
i actually salivate at first sight of most of your posts if i havent already started  :drooling:  from just reading the description
i mean this 100%
 
and i might even try to mug a trash panda  :lol:
just to get your leftovers
if it came down to it 
LMAO
:rofl: 
 
 
keep doin what your doin man
i aven't seen you post anything i wouldn't eat, but some things i would even wait in a Long line for reheated leftovers of just to get to try it
y'all know what i'm sayn'  :drooling:  :drooling:  :drooling:  :drooling:  :drooling: 

:beer: 

:cheers:
 
Thanks for the kind words, GIP! I never really think about morcilla, tripe, heart, tongue, liver, etc. as strange food in any way, since I grew up eating it.

My wife is the exact same way. She grew up eating all of the things I mentioned as well, plus some Viet foods that even I had a hard time getting used to. Durian took me over 12 years to acquire a taste for, but I actually like it now.
 
My dads side of the family and their friends always made German style blood sausage. I never did get a taste for it. Korean sundae is the only one that comes close for me but its not something i would order. Ive never tried any Spanish or South American kinds but im just not a fan of anything that tastes remotely like liver. I used to like rumaki until i ate too much and got sick. Now anything with that aroma or flavor is just....ewwww
 
I got back from my work trip to México last might. The Mrs. was itching for some of my cooking, after being gone all week, so I made one of her favorite meals.

Pan seared lamb cutlets dusted with peach ghost salt, steamed broccolini, and pearl cous cous with garlic/butter/ground shiitake.

It's great to be home, but the view from my hotel room balcony certainly was pleasant to look out of every morning!

The chops were bomb! I guess being able to hit up this all you can eat mariscos restaurant for free on the resort every day wasn't half bad, either
