Mama K's Kitchen Quandrary and Meatball Tortellini Soup
Mama K's Pet Peeve: People who are listed as speakers on a given subject or at a given time who stand at the microphone and say with a nervous chuckle, "I really don't know what I'm going to say!" and then hope that everyone in attendance will show them respect and an eager ear!
Grrrr.
What does this have to do with Mama K's Kitchen site? Only that I have a very good excuse for not posting, and that I'm not going to fill up precious reading time on your part with twaddle.
I'm pregnant, things taste odd, I don't have the energy to cook much, and the girls have taken over most of the kitchen. It has mainly become Sisters Kei and Bep's Kitchen. If, however, they come up with a recipe that is delicious, I will definitely post it!
Just one note, however, with a culinary bent: If you take Grocery Day Souper Soup and follow these alterations, you'll have another version of soup that is different and yummy!
In oven, heat up enough pre-cooked meatballs to add to a soup (make your own or use pre-made or frozen from the store, but make sure you're comfortable with the ingredients). Take your beef or chicken broth, add chopped onion, minced zucchini (or the veggie of the night that you want to sneak in!), and finely chopped garlic (I use at least a clove or two). Bring to a boil, add 1 package of ready-to-cook fresh tortellini. When it returns to a good boil, add meatballs to the soup, continue to heat until pasta is done, and you've got an easy to serve soup for the fam.
Fresco e bello: We served this recently at our friends' home with whole wheat rolls and Caesar salad. It was a hit, and so easy to do. This is easy to multiply or reduce, depending on your crowd!

Sounds delicious Karen!
I totally understand about not wanting to have anything to do with the kitchen, I am fortunate enough to have gotten over that stage by about 9 weeks this time, but I sympathize with you! I remember not even wanting to go into the kitchen, so the dishes ended up waiting waaaay to long most of the time and then I really didn't want to go into the kitchen!
Don't you wish that you could just snap out of it?! I don't mind the tired stuff so much as long as I am not nauseous!
So do you see an end in sight, sometime before the baby is born I hope? I know women who struggle like that their whole pregnancy, that is enough to make a woman not want to get pregnant again!
Bless you Karen!!!
