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.

I'm glad you're digging my dishes! Yeah, I'm going to keep cooking like this when the baby arrives, because I've been cooking like this for years! If you look through the last spicy meal you cooked thread, the pescetarian thread, comida south america thread, New Mexican food thread, or TGCM fires up the weber thread, you'll see many of the rest of my dishes going back to when I joined the site.
 
My wife and I got home yesterday with our precious new daughter. I made the meal I was going to make for Easter, but since our daughter came a week early, we were in the hospital recovering her being born the day before. Luckily I was able to cook the lamb to medium rare, since my wife is now lo longer pregnant!

Grilled butterflied leg of lamb ( medium rare), grilled and diced brown sugar cured ham, mashed potatoes with green onions...smothered in country gravy, yams, green beans, spicy chimichurri, and creamed horseradish.

I cut my wife's meat into cubes for her, so that she didn't need a knife to cut with, while holding our baby in her other hand.
