Why do Cheetos taste like heaven?

mrsj1215

Had lucky charms for breakfast and they tasted SO good!

cool ranch Doritos.  i have never liked them, until now haha

Everything tastes bad today except ginger snaps, plain bread, and a grilled cheese sandwich. It's unfortunate, because MH and I have a Christmas party to go to tonight, and I know I won't be able to enjoy any of the usually delicious food.

I ate a massive salad for lunch  today. This week is the first time I’ve been craving anything veggie related. Of course it was also loaded with cheese, croutons and creamy Italian dressing. But at least part of it was green.

French fries. Can't stop. Won't stop. I've been craving Chipotle for the past week. May give in today. 
Otherwise, nothing else is really making me feel good. Literally, french fries are the golden ticket to making my yucky tummy feel better.

Pizza pizza pizza!! It’s the only thing that sounds good.

I bought not 1, not 2, but 3 different types of cheetos at the store. And just in case that wasn't enough, I added a bag of Fritos for good measure.

Honey Smacks...you know the super sugary cereal with the frog on the box? I’m obsessed with them right now. 

zombiehoohaa

@coco305 Try the jalapeno cheddar cheetos, if you haven't already! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!

Hamburgers.  Lots and lots of hamburgers.  I figure it’s baby’s way of upping my iron intake.  

On a side note, last week I told my husband: you know what my favorite part of being pregnant is?  Getting sole decision making power on where/what we’re eating for 9 months.

I had Chinese food today since I just got home from a work trip and being away from home all week. I have big plans to go to the grocery store this weekend and buy some actual healthy food to cook next week. For the first time in weeks, I was able to meal plan and not get nauseous just thinking about it!

Sent DH for egg rolls tonight haha

I had shrimp ceviche and churro for lunch instead of my leftover minion pasta tomato soup. I made the right choice.

@zombiehoohaa darn it!! I bought flaming hot (not into them) I'm getting jalapeño cheddar tomorrow. And you can't beat the cheetos puffs yummmmm 

zombiehoohaa

@coco305 I LOVE Cheetos puffs! Try the flaming hot cheeto puffs. I find them to be better than regular hot Cheetos. My niece got me addicted to the jalapeno cheddar cheetos. Delicious!

DH randomly bought a bag of the flaming hot ones. They are not my favorite but sure enough I had half a bag. 

Been wanting all the cheese! But tonight I craved ramen so we shared a bowl and also some curry pork cutlets. Yum! I am really not caring for sweet stuff at all(fruit aside) and I'm also not into some of the sweeter veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes, peppers).

I had a cup of greek yogurt, string cheese, and hot and spicy pork rinds for dinner. Although the pork rinds left a weird taste in my mouth that I’ve never noticed before.. I still ate almost a whole bag though lol.

My hubby made grilled marinated chicken last, I roasted a sheet of garlic veggies, and rice and bread. When everything was ready to eat, the smells made me nauseas and all I wanted to eat was plain rice and bread. had leftover spaghetti and a meatball for breakfast.

someone recommended a Dirty Chai in another thread (can't find it). My go-to coffee shop is Coffee Bean & Tea leaf. Well, I walked in and asked for a Dirty Chai this morning. The barista asked, have you tried it with out Winter Dream Tea instead?  Why, no good sir, I have not. Let's try it. HOLY SPACEBALLS, batman! Talk about a christmasy punch of delight! I have not had the the stomach for coffee/espresso since getting ku. However, now...this just may be my new fix. Forgive me baby, I am a sucker for Christmas spice and everything nice!

I looooooove winter dream tea from coffee bean. Thanks for the rec @zombiehoohaa

I feel like I’ve been missing out!! I need to try this!

For anyone in Texas, HEB has an amazing decaffeinated peach and ginger tea. My friend is from San Antonio like my DH and she got me a box when she went to visit. Not too sweet and perfect for MS imo. About to make a cup after having a bout of MS - probably due to the late night cake eating for our private gender reveal. 

paytonpedro

I know this is last weeks but I didn’t feel like tarting a new one to tell you gals that I’m eating hot Cheetos and fresh fruit. Haha. I honestly wish either of them were a donut but whatever. Definitely stopping on our way home from dinner tonight!!! 

comealongponds

I bought these yesterday. They're almost gone. They are heaven in a plastic tub. I need to buy more!

stillcozy

@comealongponds seriously pickles are the thing i need in my life but im craving the baby whole dills. those look really yummy though! 

paytonpedro

@lindsayleigh1989 Whole baby dills are my jam!!! DS and I ate an entire jar the other day!

I've been having a major aversion to animal protein. Today I saw someone at work eating a fried chicken sandwich. I'm currently sitting in a Wendy's eating a spicy fried chicken sandwich and I'm so happy I'm practically dancing as I eat.

Wendy's spicy chicken sammies are my jam when pregnant. Great choice!

Breakfast burrito, cucumber with chili powder, smoothie, and hot Cheetos for lunch.

Had a falafel plate for lunch. My lunch date left while I’m still finishing. Currently wondering if I should order their dessert: vanilla froyo with baklava topping

DynamiteTrujillo

A bagel with avocado and sour kraut for lunch. My fave ever. Also, a lot more cookies than normal. xo.

Home made breakfast sandwich for breakfast. 2 cuties, a piece of cheese, and a few almonds as a snack..turkey burger wrapped in lettuce with a handful of fries. just.cannot.give.the.fries.up! My husband's work cafeteria has the best food. Also had a yummy kombucha (technically on the no-no list but I have not cared...)

runsomewhere

@kissableviv I LOVE kombucha but I've been hesitating on having one. I wanted one so bad when I had a cold recently, I drink this lemon ginger one that I swear cures everything and is so satisfying. I'm going to ask my doctor but why is it technically a no-no? Is it the trace amounts of alcohol?

bearmomma1

Did not get the froyo dessert, but made Christmas crack bark and enjoyed taking samples of the m&m’s, chocolate chips, and licking the spatula of melted peanut butter and chocolate.

Yes that's because of the alcohol and also because it can have harmful bacteria. I've only had 2 bottles this entire pregnancy... That said, I'm limiting kombucha to once a month or so, as I was used to drinking it before and the harmful stuff is more common in home made booch than bottled.

DynamiteTrujillo

@kissableviv and @runsomewhere My midwives say kombucha is fine and really encourage fermented foods, which may be a little crunchier than some MD's. Personally I'm avoiding it for a while just because of the caffeine (I also quit coffee) because of my intense 1st trimester paranoia, but I plan on drinking kombucha again after I'm more confident.

morethanamama

@DynamiteTrujillo I'm fairly granola, lol. I've been a little more relaxed about food after the 10w mark tbh. I loooove cold cuts for example. I am by no means having a meat and cheese plate but I'm enjoying a slice of salame here and there... Italian girl here! I've quit coffee too, mostly it doesn't sound good. I don't normally drink soda so I'm not touching that either. So I figured a little caffeine from booch and green tea can't hurt. Is this your first babe?

Eggs (scrambled or runny IDGAF)
Meat/ Sausage
Salsa/Chips
Fruit (Strawberries, pineapple, melon)
Cartots with veggie ranch dip
Grilled cheeses 
Mexican Food, although we ate that tonight and I’m currently so bloated and miserable I may be ruling it out.
Salads with all the things
Toddler snack food ( gold fish, string cheese)
My sweets radar has gone WAY down
Soup-we made taco soup Sunday and I’ve had it for a meal everyday since!
Pizza with veggies 

i really crave flavor and spice and color right now and SALT but I’m finding myself real miserable at night, so I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight all of those cravings if I’m going to want to sleep.
