All the Potatoes. I'm afraid this kid may come out a potato at this point!

Yesterday, I picked up takeout for my Mom from a BBQ joint, and she ordered both twice baked potatoes & potato salad as sides. I had generous helpings of each. And I *may* have just had a hashbrown from McDs... 

I'm just going to start calling this baby "Spud".

With the warm weather, all the ice cream!

@Kathryn0903 I had a huge bowl of black raspberry frozen yogurt last night. SO GOOD! 

Randomly had a craving for chicken caesar salad last night. At least there's some lettuce with all those croutons/cheese??

Doritos flamas which are super spicy!

It's SLP appreciation week and I've been snacking on the jar full of peanut butter M&M's I got.

Back to craving beef. Downed a Merlot Mushroom Burger at lunch with a friend today. Afternoon snack of Cosmic Brownies. 

@PinkPrincessPiper "Spud"

Im back to having meat aversions randomly. I made a big batch of roasted veggies tonight

i want French toast from my local diner on a daily basis. I may have had it for dinner last weekend

@morgy_bee 'Brinner' as i call breakfast for dinner is a weekly staple in our house! Delicious.

My nausea came back the day third trimester started (YAY!! ...NOT)

So I have been stomaching what I can. Lately it's fruit, crackers, cheese/milk. Anything even slightly greasy makes me sick.

On the 90+ degree day yesterday, it was so nice for one of the managers to come around and offer everyone ice cream sandwiches.  We have A/C in the office, but it was a much appreciated treat.  I kind of forgot that the local grocery store, where the ice cream sandwiches came from, also has amazing soft serve ice cream.  I think I may start going there as it gets hot out.

Still peanut butter peanut butter peanut butter. If this kid comes out with an allergy, you can bowl me over with a feather.

@smallbutmighty77 I could eat Brinner every day! Thanks for the meal idea! I think I may try that one night this week. 

Edit: Also if anyone likes red velvet cake, you need to try red velvet waffles! They are to die for!

I craved milk and shrimp with my first daughter like crazy (not together) and she turned out to be seriously allergic to both (plus many more). It blows my mind. All current info says eat to avoid. Sure hope this baby doesn't have any...but our doctors aren't giving us very good odds.

I made a fruit pizza yesterday for my Papa's 85th birthday. Sugar cookie crust, cream cheese icing, and blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, and kiwi. Soooooo good. I pigged out on leftover fruit this morning.

Omg totally craving fruit pizza now! That sounds amazing!

@smallbutmighty77 We have 'Brinner' at least once a week at our house too. Super easy, quick, and all 3 of my picky eaters love it. Brinner for the win!

Also, the potato cravings continue...

I posted this on FB awhile back because potatoes have been my consistent craving this time around!

I may have just eaten 4 Smores and now I'm miserable. But extremely happy at the same time. Yummy.

@PinkPrincessPiper My sister brought home doughnuts from this place called Holy Donuts in Maine that are made out of potatoes! They were sooooo good! Although if you're craving potatoes, you can't really tell they're made out of them so not sure that'd satisfy.

@dinofreak I asked my OB about peanut intake to reduce the chance of an allergy a few months ago. Apparently it was kind of a weird question but she said the only reason she knows the answer is because her friend is an allergist...but moderation is key. Have some, but not too much. Real peanuts is better than peanut butter because it's super concentrated. I've just been mixing some peanut butter with my almond or other nut butter on toast once a week or so. It's just one doctor's opinion but if it's true, you might want to consider mixing in some almond butter or other nut butter some of the time.

@kvh22 Is that the same as the donut place in Portland?? I think it's called the Holy Donut. SO good.

kvh22

@secicc12 - Yes! I am visiting my family in NH but had never heard of it before. We were up in Portland for her college graduation on Saturday. Apparently there is one in Scarborough near her (former) apartment but it started in Portland.

Homemade pizzas are always a hit around our house. I just made one for DH & I (kids are asleep) that was a french bread crust, BBQ sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, and red onions. Deliciousness! 

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f

@PinkPrincessPiper Same here! Pizza is the perfect vehicle for all those random vegetable/meat leftovers you don't know what to do with. 

Kathryn0903

Was totally craving onion rings last night! 

lwhrmomma

Wawa makes a chocolate banana smoothie that i can't get enough of lately.  

SouthernMama15

@Kathryn0903 I never liked onion rings till I was pregnant with DS. Same with watermelon. Haven't been able to get enough since.  

Had to grab some m&ms last night (potty training currency) and Target had rolos on clearance. I had to make DH take them away.

@SouthernMama15
I haven't had much for cravings this time but I craved and ate so much watermelon with DD that once at 8 months pregnant I walked to the grocery and carried one home around 3/4 of a mile because I wanted one that bad and my car was in the shop. Had to have been a comical sight...

Leni410

Chewing so much ice lately!!! 

OTmom3

Can't stop, won't stop. Also watermelon. 

Mango517

Watermelon sprinkled with lime juice and salt. It's s refreshing and tastes vaguely like a tropical drink.
