Rant; Cravings

Nerdchild

Apologies if any of this triggers sensitive tummies, I had to post this here because saying it out loud earns me funny looks.

I wish they made bacon in the size and shape of tortilla chips, because I want to dip bacon in salsa right now. 

Also, why could I only find banana flavored popsicles in the south?  Not actual banana pops, but the fake crap that tastes like banana laffy taffy.  I need this in my life!

What off the wall shit do you want to eat (when you feel like eating at all)?

We need to make this bacon thing happen!! That sounds amazing!

ETA: I eat a lot of cereal right now, and I loooove a big glass of milk.

@Marowan Bacon is love.  Bacon is life.

@ Nzamorw They make some really great lactose free milk (Lactaid being the big name brand that's available almost everywhere in the U.S.), maybe that would work?  If not, I'm so sorry you can't feed your need.

There's a new lactose free milk on the market. I'm trying to find the name but it escapes me. It's in a blue carton and has added probiotics. It's expensive, but I love it.

All the cravings that I've been having, I'll get it and then become completely disgusted when I smell or taste it. I'm lucky to be hungry enough for a full meal. However, the only thing that does stick are salt and vinegar chips. Dammit not I want some. 

Nerdchild

@dolewhipper That has happened to me a few times.  Chips are always a good bet, and tamales ALWAYS hit the spot.  Everything else is hit or miss.

Mexican food. We've had Mexican for dinner like 5 out of the last 7 nights. And when I'm not eating Mexican food, I'm putting hot sauce on EVERYTHING. I put tabasco sauce on my macaroni and cheese last night.

OH MY GOD YES!!! Even fake Mexican food like Taco Bell (which I normally cannot stand).

@Nerdchild, we had Taco Bell on Friday night. And it was delicious. But I did put an exorbitant amount of hot sauce on everything (and then wished I'd asked for the Fire sauce instead).

For a hot second in my area I was able to find something called "Diablo" Sauce at Taco Bell. Black packets, hot as Hades, but oh so delicious!  Bring on the heat!

I'm all about the hot sauce too. I'm trying to talk DH into taking me to get al pastor tacos on the spit. It's only about 30 minutes away in a bad bad area but it's worth it right?

I would look him dead in the face and say "What baby wants, baby gets".

I'm craving sweets at the moment. I just had cheesecake for lunch. Hehe. Yuuuuuum

jolydan

I'm having a lot Of nausea but when I feel better I have weird craving for shrimp cocktail sauce (the horseradish one) it's soooo random. I don't even really like shrimp cocktail usually

Bruh, you can have ALL of my sweets.  There are few ways to make my stomach flip faster than to put a cake in front of me.  LOL

I devoloped a love for horseradish with my 1st pregnancy. Even now 3 years later I need horseradish with my shrimp and steak

megstervt

I was craving spicy things at first, but now the nausea is all too real. The only thing I really want is lemonade and it helps with how I'm feeling so win-win.

Nzamorw

@Nerdchild , oh I definitely purchase lactaid. But it gave me diarrhea . I think it's because I bought whole milk and had three cups of it back to back.... I NEVER drink milk straight like that.

@dolewhipper , I have been eating salt and vinegar chips everyday... Which I know if not good to have so much salt... But I love it!

samantha1206

I want EVERYTHING.
Except bacon ironically. It makes me nauseated.

stillcozy

All things salt I can't get enough pickles right no had pizza that had pickles on and was in heaven!

jenkeale

Yes to chip shaped bacon! I'm usually into healthy, light meals but have been wanting the fattiest greasiest comfort type foods. I'm craving things I never eat. And bacon. Lots of bacon.

All the pasta.  Right now Chef Boyardee is my jam.

HookEmNelson

I'm craving soup and fresh salad this time around. Anything fresh, warm and has a kick to it. I'll take it.
With my son, I just wanted one particular salad and chicken all the time. My food aversion, that has stuck around is tomato sauce/marinara...blah. I just can't.

WVUPetunia

Sweet pickles, mostly.  Guess I'm a stereotype.  Oh, grapes too for some weird reason.  With DS, it was jalapeno poppers and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Nerdchild

@HookEmNelson looking at Marinara sauce triggers me big time! Bleck.

@WVUPetunia Oh, man, jalapeño poppers....those might have to happen today.

lillebowski23

Cornflakes, cheese, pasta. I just made some vegetarian chili in the crock lpot and the house smells uh-mazing! I also have very specific cravings for ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches.

hannahmp

I'm giving it everything I have to not give into all my cravings this time. I gained too much weight last time and it took way too long to take it off. I'm mostly eating pickles, because no calories.

HookEmNelson

@Nerdchild it is the worst. I can't even look or really think about chicken parmesan. 4 years in between has done nothing with that food aversion.

tennisbabymama

Nothing sounds good to me right now but grilled cheese. I NEEDED grill cheese last night and was on edge until I got it. First craving so far.

Christal161

I've been craving nothing but JUNK food! I'm so annoyed with it. It seems like, if I don't get what I'm craving, I can't eat anything else and if I do, I just puke it out. Trying my best to eat healthy with this pregnancy, but it's not working out. I can stomach some cereal, a good example is aome rice crispies!

silvers626

I have had various cravings here and there but the most consistent ones (including from my first pregnancy) are chicken strips and frozen grapes. Also, all the salt. Chips, pickles, salted nuts, popcorn, all good! But this time the Mexican food I craved before is an aversion but it's mostly because of the meat.

Weville

Meatballs. All I want is meatballs. I also noticed yesterday I've polished off a jar of mustard this week so apparently I've been going a little nutty with that

HRiely

I dipped pizza in queso for like three hours the other night.

@Nerdchild, I just came back to tell you I convinced DH we should have nachos for dinner. WIN! And he's even going to cook them for me.

I think I have him on board now. I'm at work with pretty bad morning sickness I told him that I might come home if I'm not feeling better. He told me if I come home he'll take me to the taqueria. Ughhh decisions decisions.

mandyjulie

Chicken tenders and fries. What am I, 5?



Seriously, I got a kids meal of this last night after not being able to eat a thing for nearly 2 days so I decided it was okay. I was alone without DH to judge or DD to steal my food. And I want it again this week, badly.

decoycandy

Grilled cheeses are amazing. May I recommend processed cheese AND cheddar. You get the super melt and the super stretchy. Mmmmmm

decoycandy

Oh, and for all y'all having spicy cravings, my tolerance for spicy has gone down to nothing. Dunno what that is about.

sami1784

I've been craving salty stuff. Just the thought of candy and sweets turns my stomach. I'm currently eating plain potato chips dipped in dill pickle juice. Yummy!
