I've been sick, so a big ole pot of chicken noodle soup and a loaf of homemade bread has made me very happy. 

meeks2020

@livinthesunnylife chicken noodle soup sounds like the only thing I could stomach right now. Instead I already have a roast cooking . But really I'm eating bland food and as little as possible 

Eta bc I put good instead of food

@meeks2020 bland good is really delicious!

meeks2020

@roadspeckle freaking autocorrect again! I'm told you!

Today? Mozzarella sticks (grocery store whim - should never have gone hungry/nauseous) and a lean cuisine pizza.  These lean cuisine pizzas are life for me right now.

Grilled ham and cheese!

I just had a homemade turkey burger (turkey burger patty, swiss cheese, 100 cal bun, and an admittedly gross amount of mayo) and baked cheetos. Still not doing so great nutrient wise but at least I am able to stomach protein again as opposed to just bread and cheese.

Nausea + weird cravings have made my menu very narrow and specific! Saltines for breakfast, smoothie for lunch and thin toasted bread with a cream cheese spread PACKED with raw veggies for dinner. I CRAVE raw veggies all day (when I'm not feeling too pukey) - I suppose it could be worse! I do wish I could get some real protein (other than the smoothie) down.

@legallykate baked cheetos sound kid of amazing

Saw this while lurking the June board - looks like Consumer Reports recommends avoiding romaine lettuce right now due to recent E. coli outbreaks.  This changes my dinner plans for tonight, so thought some of you may be interested too.

Pineapple and just had a bowl of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Greasy food is not my friend right now, so sticking with bagels and cereal for breakfast. I have to cook chicken tonight, and the idea is making me gag. 

meeks2020

@juliebird6 I saw that too! Thank you for sharing it and reminding me!

Chick fil A sandwich and fries for lunch. It was awesome!

I always love spinach ricotta roll ups or stuffed shells, but they are so time consuming! I found a penne version where you just mix it all together. So much easier and delicious! DS has eaten it three days in a row and I’m pretty sure he has no idea he is eating spinach. #winning

Here’s the recipe in case anyone else wants to try it: https://pin.it/wkpe6ymjka3xep

eta: I just used store bought sauce.

Pancakes! I’ve had them every morning for the past three days. I’m very sad to see that romaine should be avoided right now, I’ve been really feeling Caesar salads   

aj1327

Me too with the ceaser salad @LC12261012. I haven’t had one but I have wanted one. DH brought home grilled fish tacos and they had Romaine on the top

Pasta!!! And I want ice cream right now, but I’m scared it will make me nauseous 

7425cait

^ do it! I had some this afternoon, and it satisfied my soul.

izmom28

I am. With whipped cream. So good 

meeks2020

With all of the food talk on the board today I wish food sounded good

Firemanswife11

I ate a huge salad with romaine last night and so far so good. 

juliebird6

Zesty Ranch Veggie Straws. Do it.

vinerie

all the clementines and grapefruit as citrus is like the nectar of the gods to me right now. 

And then easily-digestible things. I don't know if this is real or all in my head, but lately a lot of food seems unappetizing to me. But I'm not nauseous. It's more just like a lot of food doesn't seem to be enjoyable to eat. I made dinner last night and then didn't touch it and ate cheerios. My husband was raving about what I cooked, too. weird. 

lakesideknitter

@vinerie same. Carbs are starting to be appetizing again. Last night I had a bowl of cheese tortellini and then a giant piece of warm naan covered in honey butter.

jsnakehole

My appetite is back! Still for only carbs and cheese, but whatev. I had American cheese melted on a bagel for lunch and I'm having a cheese quesadilla for dinner. Pretty happy with my life choices. 

scottishlass1213

Hubby is picking up pizza and mozzarella sticks tonight. I can’t remember last time I had a mozzarella stick but I want them!

travelheart

I'm with @vinerie all of the clementines and citrus! Mostly just plain ol strong opinions on what I want and when. HAD to have pasta for lunch - now it sounds terrible.

ladygali

I’m up with insomnia and just ate leftover mac and cheese and a pear. I’m starving for the first time in DAYS and it apparently has to happen at 1 am. 

Mkrosieo

I make poor life choices. But I did enjoy eating it! Neapolitan ice cream, chocolate syrup and banana. So delicious! Paying for it now

aj1327

@ladygali I woke up starving at 2 am and ate a giant bowl of cheerios so you’re not alone! 

ladygali

@amac12999 lol! While I was sitting there in the dark, I wrote down cereal and milk on my grocery list  I just keep adding cravings as they hit. 

lakesideknitter

@ladygali all I can think about now is macaroni and cheese.

ladygali

@lakesideknitter DOOOO IIITTTT!!!

Somewhere (maybe here) someone posted about Taco Bell and I’ve wanted a crunchy taco from there ever since. I haven’t had Taco Bell in years. 

izmom28

Leftover gold finger wings from the 99. It’s only 9:45am

I’m having a carnation in bed in the morning. Bfast depends on how I feel... today I felt terrible and had no time (815 b-ball for my oldest). By the time I was home the nausea had passed and I was just hungry so I could eat eggs and 1/2 bagel. Some mornings when I just feel so so I have a bowl of special
k, then a snack later. 

Lunch and dinner are mostly normal but definitely craving raw veggies esp celery. 

I usually like a bedtime snack but lately it’s bothering my stomach through the night so time to cut that. 

Im also finding when I really pound the water in the afternoons it helps my ms.

pghctwife

I’m really craving greasy fried apps. Maybe a Reuben (not something I like usually) the tang is really appealing.

ssthomps

Orange juice has been my best friend. I can’t remember who posted about drinking really cold orange juice when feeling naseous. Who ever it was, thank you, it has been a life saver. As far as food goes I think I want it and then I get it and I no longer want it. I envy you ladies who are able to actually eat decent food. 

brzvice

@ssthomps I'm envious of gals with veggie and meat cravings too. I know my body could really use both. Hopefully our diets can balance out more come 2nd trimester. 

Btw I definitely will have to try the OJ for nausea

ladygali

I was reading the Symptoms thread this morning and someone posted about Carnation Instant Breakfast, so naturally I’ve been singing the old commercial jingle from the 80s or 90s and it’s been added to my grocery list 

laurad75

I am hungry but nothing sounds good to me. I’m living off of yogurt and cereal. But now I want Mac and cheese.
