Today, we have our next prenatal appointment. Because I’m in the third trimester, I’ve increased doctor’s appointment frequency from monthly to every other week, and in a few weeks then I’ll go every week! Honestly, this entire pregnancy is flying by and I can’t wait to meet our little girl.

I’ve shared details of my first trimester and second trimester and plan on posting about the third trimester closer to the end of pregnancy.

In preparation for her arrival, I’ve been trying to build up my arsenal of extremely simple recipes that I can have Brian help with. I’ve heard that breastfeeding moms don’t have a ton of spare time in those first few weeks, so I’m anticipating that I won’t be the one doing the majority of the food prep like usual.

This Low FODMAP Vegetable Frittata recipe will absolutely be added to our meal rotation once baby girl arrives!

Low FODMAP Vegetable Frittata Tips

• A frittata is kind of like a quiche without a crust. I always enjoy eating eggs, but now that I’m pregnant I’m making sure to eat eggs regularly because of the choline and lutein (and all the other nutrients). Choline is linked with brain health, and there have been some studies showing a positive correlation between memory and cognition in children of mother’s who consumed higher levels of choline in the third trimester. Lutein is a nutrient associated with eye health.
• I’ve used zucchini, green onion and bell pepper in this frittata but you can use any vegetable or dark leafy green you have on hand.
• This is a great meal to make ahead or have as leftovers for weeks when you are more busy. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

So simple, nutritious and absolutely tasty! I hope you love this 🙂
