What my pregnant self is eating 3/3!

JustBored10

I really have not had any strong cravings this week besides home made banana bread which I practically get the entire loaf to myself since DH is gluten free.
At least we don't use sugar and add walnuts so it counts as a somewhat healthy snack! Plus it is good to have before a cross fit workout during the week
Also, hummus almost everyday. Hummus with pita, hummus with veggies, veggie sandwich with hummus, hummus toast with my eggs...

My pregnant self just told DH next time we drive the hour and a half to town to do my blood draw stuff, we're stopping at this little diner we used to go to when we were dating and getting milkshakes. Yummmm. Also salad has been really delicious and easy on my tummy.

Mostly junk food. Pizza, Eggos, pizza rolls, bagels and cream cheese, cereal, ice cream. The only protein I've been able to stomach is eggs, so I've had a lot of breakfast dinners. I also made banana bread last night and it's about halfway gone.

Cereal. All.the.cereal. And eggs, English muffins, grapes (especially frozen mmm) apples, cream cheese, and did I mention cereal? Meat has been a big struggle for me since I started with this all day non-stop nausea. My body basically wants all the carbs.

@JustBored10 I made banana nut bread with chocolate chips this week, and it was amazing.  And I barely shared any of it with DH.  No shame in my game.

This was the first week I've actually been able to cook food, and mostly eat it.  I had a homemade english muffin and egg sandwich this morning.  We made a Blue Apron meal last night, but the spice smells were *so* strong that I couldn't handle it.  A place right next to my parent's house has awesome milkshakes, and since @daniellelynette mentioned them, I might have to get one this weekend!

wyomama0427

@ColoradoHiker that banana nut chocolate chip bread sounds amazing!! And I am so excited for this upcoming Wednesday so we can go get some amazing milkshakes! I do really wish we had a steak and shake closer. I had it for the first time in Indiana I think and I miss it sooooo much! And I miss Joes Crab Shack. And red lobster. I think I'm going to buy the cheddar bay biscuit mix from Walmart and make my own red lobster biscuits lol. Oh and I haven't had Texas Roadhouse in too long. Or Famous Dave's. I miss eating out lol it's been way too long. The closest town to us up north has really crappy options. The best place is the one an hour and a half west of us which is where we are going for our OB care. So I make 99% of our food here at home. It kinda sucks.

mrsmarygs

@daniellelynette I can vouch for the boxed biscuit mix tasting just like Red Lobster's biscuits. And now all this talk of milkshakes makes me really want a smoothie. I might get one on the way home tonight, and gorge myself with banana bread for dinner. Yum!

I way simplified our meals this week and they've all tasted pretty good - spaghetti with meat sauce, chicken parmesan, white bean soup...all good stuff.  I'm not really having any more aversions, but really, most things just taste okay, even things I really love like shortbread cookies and dark chocolate.  No real cravings either.  Pregnancy is a trip.

You all reminded me that I have a coupon for a free milkshake. I'll be getting that this weekend. I've been eating out way too much. The idea of cooking makes me feel tired and queasy and DH is out late with night classes, so I can't ask him to cook for me. It's a serious issue. 

mrs_tacos

Mmmmmm, banana bread. I might have to make some of that this weekend. Also, I really want a smoothie now, but we're out of yogurt. Boo!

I still can't really handle meat and eggs, but at least I'm not nauseated too much now, so I can eat normal-ish. I've been having lots of smoothie, bagels with cream cheese, cereal, and raw veggies with dip. (But not cucumbers. Tried cucumbers yesterday, and they were a no-go. Pregnancy is weird.) Also, juice boxes. Lots and lots of grape juice boxes.

Last time I definitely had food cravings. I really want them to kick in already. With the exception of cereal and milk on a rare occasion, I've been just about craving free 

Hopefulmommy1980

I want all things carbs. Fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, and spaghetti have become regular dinner choices. That and one morning the baby wanted a cheeseburger. So at 645 in the morning I got a cheeseburger, fry, and cherry slushy from on sonic. It was the best breakfast I have had in a long time. 

jessieR358

I want lots of salads, fruit and then hamburgers lol. I am really craving a hibachi grill. I haven't eaten at one in probably 10+ years. My DH thinks I'm nuts. I'm trying to think if we can realistically take a 20 month old lol. But it's all I can think about. 

LaceyC1020

I have officially gone cliché and am on the pickle train lol! I've never liked pickles, but my coworker had a jar of them at lunch and I was kind of pissed that I didn't have any.  They smelled amazing. DH came home that night with a big jar of fill pickles and they're soooooo good. I ate 3 in the middle of the night last night!!

Other than that, still loving pizza, fruits and salads.

LaceyC1020

Dang @amandarene112 a bagel with cream cheese sounds so delicious right now!!!

kelseyrayay

Orange juice and mini keish 

mrs_tacos

DH made me a fruit smoothie today- mixed berries, a few slices of mango, sun butter, Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey. It was SO GOOD. DH doesn't know what he's gotten himself into, because he's going to be making smoothies every day now.

cmar1006

@amandarene112 smoothies have been a go-to for me this pregnancy!

jutondreau

Cheese & crackers, cheese & fresh bread, stuffed olives, corn chips and salsa--nothing super healthy, but nothing super terrible. 

JNR6510

Lots and lots of salad. Anything greasy or carb heavy makes me nauseous.

Cats*in*space

@jessieR358 I was craving hibachi too!  I tried to "recreate" it at home and it did not cut it.  Hope you can make the trip and satisfy for the both of us!  

Jamiern01

Eating way too many carbs. Nothing sounds good. No cravings no real aversions. Nothing really tastes good.

MyNamesTaken

Carbs and junk. Red licorice lately and chips with guac...avocado is healthy right? I've been having smoothies for breakfast and lots of fruit through the day but I don't know how much of my belly is bump and how much is junk food

So we had take out hibachi last night and it was good, but not like it is at the restaurant. I was pretty sad. I'm still craving Asian food though lol.

I craved hibachi hardcore around 5 1/2 weeks, before my nausea had really set in. DH was out if town, but I just needed it, so I took myself out. It was awkward being the only person by yourself in a communal setting, but so worth it! That was also the last time I was able to eat beef, so I'm glad I did it.

So my husband stumbled on something interesting tonight while using our soda stream. If anyone has been craving a pale beer like Rolling Rock, some seltzer water with a splash of white grape juice tastes surprisingly similar, but is safe to drink since there's no alcohol.

Freaking Taco Bell. I don't have any idea why. Normally not a big fan.

I just bought the big bag of all pink Starburst! So

I feel like I must be the only person in the world who doesn't LOVE pink starburst. I much prefer the orange and yellow... and I hate the red ones. 

toshandbabies

I've been eating Greek salad with kalamata olives every day! I am also loving pickled asparagus. Just give me the vinegar!

I have got to get a bag of those! I just cleaned out my office's supply of pink and yellow Starbursts. Sorry, not sorry.

wyomama0427

@mrsmgsee I like the yellow ones too! Pink and yellow are my favorite. Don't like the red and orange at all!

wyomama0427

DH and I just went to Taco Bell for the first time in a very very long time. I scarfed down a grilled steak quesarito, a beefy 5 layer burrito, and a nacho cheese Doritos loco taco. And I have a triple double crunchwrap in a bag that I'm probably going to eat later too..... I'm a little bit ashamed of myself....

mercury94

@daniellelynette Don't be ashamed. I am literally going to Taco Bell once a week right now. It's super annoying that I pass it on the way home. 

wyomama0427

@bridge-and-wall I don't even know why I love it so much, I just can't help it! The beefy five layer is my weakness. I always ask for no beans though. 

HollyGolightly09

@daniellelynette I just sent DH to Taco Bell, lol

wyomama0427

@HollyGolightly09 whatcha gettin? Lol 

LosAngelesMama

My cravings/aversions have been constantly changing. Water was making me sick and I was drinking nothing but juice and now juice is too sweet and I'm back to water. Same can be said for many other snacks/foods. One thing I've constantly craved,and will be getting tonight for dinner, is in n out. Yum

I got nachos but didn't really eat them... everything sounds and tastes gross. Not fun.

Awww boo I'd be so sad if my Taco Bell tasted gross. I've been in love with the beefy five layer since high school lol. Oh and I loved their chicken burritos before they changed them, I used to get the chicken burrito with extra avocado ranch sauce... soooo good. But now their chicken burritos suck and it makes me sad. Oh and I miss fire roasted sauce.
