@becausescience that looks amazing! We never go to olive garden (maybe once every couple years) but I love their chicken and gnocchi soup. Adding that to my grocery list for next week.
@cford08 For your meat eaters, I'd add more chicken. You could probably get away with up to 4 cups (so double).
@kalawa The soup would totally still be amazing without chicken. Maybe add extra veggies. I thought about adding some zucchini or sweet potatoes next time.

I haven't had frozen pizza rolls since I was like 12, until tonight, wow. So unhealthy but hit the spot. Also my night time snack has been fresh raspberries with dark chocolate covered almonds, soooo good!
@sarahhedger7 You're welcome! I'm almost out of my large glass container of kimchi and it makes me a bit sad, so I've been making it go father by sauteing it with other veggies. Lately it's been zucchini. It's so good!

I've been on an apple juice kick for the past 2 weeks. You know the amount of water that's recommended daily? Yeah, I drink that in apple juice. My mom went grocery shopping with me last weekend and when I put 2 containers of apple juice in the cart my mom said to my 5yo DD "Izzy look mommy's getting you apple juice!" I just looked at her and said "that's for me, I'm buying her this V8 juice" I have also been on a bagel kick, plain bagels toasted with plain cream cheese has been my breakfast for the last 3 or so weeks. I love carbs (always have) and pregnancy is a great excuse to buy a lot of them, DH can't really get mad. I may or may not have eaten an entire bag (12) of fresh made dinner rolls from the bakery.
Since I can't do dairy right now I'm really sad about missing all the ice cream and milk that I want because cereal is also another morning craving of mine (actually want the plain kinds like plain cheerios, corn chex, rice krispies, etc nothing super sweet) but I did take 2 lactaid pills yesterday and took a big swig of regular milk and it was fabulous.
I just had a gyro for lunch and it hit the spot sooo well. For dinner I was craving greens so I made myself a salad with avocado, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Finished that one and made another one. Baby must have needed veggies!!
I've been eating an English muffin with peanut butter & some Siggi's yogurt every morning and MAN did it hit the spot today. Also I'm proud of myself bc I shared some of my muffin with the dog & didn't hog it all. (He is so spoiled it's not even funny.)
Pizza! All of the pizza, if I come home with pizza one more night my H might actually kill me. He keeps telling me I'm ruining pizza for him but who cares... not me! And milk! Regular or chocolate like a child doesn't matter to me. And French fries... this baby already has me eating unhealthy... trying to fit in fruits and veggies as much as I can!
My SO went to a friend's place for a beer, and sends me a picture of mini steak sandwiches and jalepeno peppers wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese, all cooked in a smoker. He sends me this with the question, "want some?" I told him if he comes home without it, don't bother coming home at all. He came home...WITH THE FOOD!
@kalawa ughhhh my husband makes those smoked peppers and now they sound so good. Sometimes he'll do armadillo eggs too - the jalapeno stuffed with cheese and then wrapped in sausage instead of the bacon. And by sometimes I mean... he's now going to be making them tomorrow.
Just got a major craving for cookie dough. Ugh, only 6ish more months until that can happen. Or I could try heat treating the flour and not using eggs...
Now thinking baked cookies may also be yummy.

@heatherdubrow@rachel2107 You two are being terrible influences! I'll probably cave and make a little batch later. But I'm going to bake my flour first as a precaution. May also make a regular batch to bake for DH as he is doing all the laundry.

My MIL might be a little out there sometimes, but she makes a mean veggie lasagna. DH may or may not see it if he doesn't eat some soon... Anything with a good marinara sauce is winning in my book lately!
I'm loving all the pizza loving happening here. I'm obsessed with pizza but currently nothing sounds good besides chicken party's or pizza or fruit. Ugh
@LiveNLove44... sounds amazing to my "normal" self. a good lasagna is hard to resist! unfortunately, I can't stand tomato sauce right now. oddly enough though....i still enjoy fresh tomatoes
Chicken does not sound good to me. At all. I love chicken, fried, baked, whatever. This is bad news as I made parmesan crusted chicken part of my meal plan this week. I was just craving baked beans earlier today. Maybe I'll make the chicken for everyone else and just eat my baked beans haha. I'm all over the place recently.
