I loved your feedback on the visual meal plan, so I’m going to stick with it for now!
But first, a brief weekend recap. Hailey and I kept ourselves busy on Saturday with the gym and errands, and since David was home by dinner time, I excitedly checked an item off my do-before-baby list… the Japanese Steakhouse experience!
I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been to one, so it was definitely Hailey’s first time and it was priceless!
Her reaction to when our chef first made the griddle steam up…
and when he lit the onion volcano on fire…
Fear not, she always clapped afterwards and her face remained in amazement the entire time. It was hilarious! She even managed a veggie or two with chopsticks.
She’s so worldly! Haha.
With David working again Sunday, Hailey and I took it upon ourselves to join some friends at church, then grabbed lunch out together. By then, she was over my picture taking.
Sunday afternoon was gorgeous and we spent as much of it as possible outside.
I briefly ripped myself away to go grocery shopping. To keep it quick, I just ran to Food Lion and though they don’t carry every item I need/want, it got the job done and at a low price, too!
So enough about the weekend… here’s last week’s meals!
Sunday: Grilled steaks, roasted asparagus, grape tomatoes and homemade bread.
Monday– Crockpot roasted chicken, sautéed rainbow chard and baked sweet potato.
Tuesday– Spinach & ricotta stuffed shells with salad.
Wednesday– Homemade vegetable barley soup with bone broth.
Thursday– Chicken picatta over brown rice spaghetti with steamed broccoli.
Friday– Homemade pizza. Always.
Greek yogurt bowls with Puffins, frozen blueberries and chia seeds.
Giant omelet (shared with H) with peppers, onions, spinach and goat cheese.
Blueberry walnut pancakes to make a Wednesday feel like the weekend!
Lunches are typically leftovers or salads, so I don’t share many of those, but I did switch things up by boiling some eggs and they made my salads extra satisfying (and pretty!) for the week!
Whew, that’s quite the picture overload, isn’t it? I’ll work on it!
In the meantime…
Are you a Japanese Steakhouse fan?
I am! I’m a sucker for all the sipping sauces and ginger dressing, of course!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Ohmygoodness, her expressions are priceless! I just realized L has never been to a Japanese steakhouse, either. What a great idea! And your meals look phenomenal… can you cook photograph mine? 🙂
Linz @ Itz Linz says

Lol about her reaction to the grill. It’s moments like these that make parenthood worthwhile.
Nicole says
I need pregnancy snack ideas…you know that are healthy. 🙂 tips?
Brittany Dixon says
Aw, congratulations!! 🙂 Obviously it depends on what is sounding good to you, haha. I liked
lara-balls (http://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/2013/09/06/healthy-homemade-lara-balls/),
almonds
string cheese
clementines
waffles with peanut butter and banana
cherry tomatoes (always sounded good to me for some reason!)
I hope you are feeling well!

Hailey’s reactions are hilarious and oh-so-cute! 😀 And all of the meals look great. Especially the stuffed shells, pizza, and the giant omelet!
I just have one question regarding the pizza… What recipe for dough do you use? Do you always use the cauliflower base? Thanks in advance!
Brittany Dixon says
I rarely use cauliflowers crust actually! I think it’s good for what it is (a substitute), but by Friday night I just want some real pizza 😉
I usually use this recipe: http://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/recipes/?recipe_id=6031219
or a recipe that is made in my bread machine, depending on how much time I have 🙂
Shari says
Hailey’s reactions are adorable!!
Amanda @ All Day Active says
Her face is priceless! I’m sure that was SUCH a fun thing for her to experience 🙂
Loving the pic of that omlet — might have to make a quick change of breakfast plans this morning 🙂

I love food by pictures (aka what I’m doing today so I can do a WIAW post!)
Mrs FF says
Hailey’s expressions priceless!!!
I’ve eaten at a Japanese steak house a grand total of one time and I think I probably had the same expression as Hailey at the volcano.
Alex Shaw says
I loooove these posts! They not only make me hungry but they give me excellent ideas for our weekly eats. Any chance you could post links to recipes too?
Brittany Dixon says
Yes, I definitely need to do a better job about that. I’m actually working on a new design for the blog which is going to require relogging of all my recipes (probably more info than you were after ;)), but long story short, I hope to start being able to link to recipes and have more available in the next few weeks!
Alex Shaw says
Yay! Because your food looks sooo yummy 🙂 But take your time doing this blog revamp – because being a pregnant mama of a toddler is enough of a job in in itself 🙂
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
Yum! So many great meals here! I will be doing my meal planning later this morning, so I’m going to use this post for some inspiration!
katie says
Chicken Piccata, yum!!
Jill @ Fitness, Health and Happiness says
The greek yogurt bowl looks yummy! I’ll have to remember the combo 🙂
Thanks for linking up!
Emily says
Ok, so I have been obsessed with Japanese Hibachi since I was young. It was a thing my family always did when visiting Myrtle Beach 😉 There are only eleventy billion of them there.
We SO need to take Parker to one!!! I don’t know why I haven’t thought of it sooner. He would love the show! 🙂
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
Oh my goodness your meals look amazing! I’m so impressed with how you can switch it up, especially for breakfast!
Jen says
Ahh! Taking her to hibachi is such a great idea! I’m totally going to copy you. My bday is in a few weeks and I told Jeff I’d rather us all go out to dinner than leave Wyatt at home. It’d be the perfect opportunity!
Danica @ It's Progression says
Homemade pizza is a regular/weekly staple for us, too – you just cannot go wrong with it!
Heather says
I’ve actually never been to a Japanese steakhouse, but apparently I need to remedy that! Hailey’s reactions are great. Ha ha.
We did homemade pizza this weekend as well, but now I’m thinking of making that salmon recipe you posted not too long ago – it was a huge hit when I made it the first time!
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome says
Oh we’ve been wanting to take our son to a local Hibachi grill! Looks like it was a blast and now I really want to go! Thanks for sharing!
Matt @ Runner Savvy says
Hibachi is delicious!
Elle says
I really do love your meal plans! Will you possibly post some advice for cooking seafood? I picked up some scallops from Trader Joes and got so panicked that I under cooked them!
