What my Pregnant Self is Eating...

@F47 I made the mistake of getting a 6 inch. I’m totally going for a foot long next time.

@amac12999 I just said those exact words to my husband.

Nothing really sounded good, so dinner was Raisin Bran, crackers, white cheddar, and a no bake cookie. Good enough.

I want all the red meat. Just fixed a grilled venison backstrap, steamed green beans, and oven roasted baby taters. Omg, food coma!

I finally tried our air fryer we got for a Christmas gift. I made lemon pepper wings for the first playoff game this afternoon. I was impressed with the taste but not the time it took to make. It felt like forever. And now watching this second game— we ordered calzones. I got mine with mozz, ricotta, and broccoli. I’m usually a pepperoni mushroom kinda girl. I have no idea what this pregnancy is doing to me. LOL!

@amac12999 @F47 I feel like there’s a “that’s what she said” joke there... 

@neeraja_k ditto to the red meat! I made strip steaks and mashed cauli for dinner and it was sooo good. So nice to be able to stomach a veggie too!

ladygali

I made a marinated turkey breast for dinner and the smell of it made me gag, so cereal. Quaker Oat Squares are my favorite! 

F47

@lalala2004 Raisin Bran is life. 

jsnakehole

@lanieslumpia every time I hear about calzones, I think of this:



I'm eating a giant piece of Brooklyn blackout cake. I had a few bites of food at my MIL's house, but couldn't stomach most of it (too many veggies).

@ladygali the texture of quaker oatmeal squares is outstanding. I prefer the brown sugar over the cinnamon.

Ramen. Give me all of the Ramen. I'm eating it for breakfast right now.

@ladygali I lived on LIFE cereal with DD! I think I had a bowl everyday...it was my only craving

Definitely did not just make myself buffalo chicken dip for lunch. Nope. Didn’t happen. 

neeraja_k

Everything bagels and cream cheese today. Yummy!

I'm also wanting to make a pot of chicken soup for the impending sickness I'm expecting my husband to bring home. But the thought of the aroma of cooked chicken is turning my stomach just thinking about it. So I'm pondering if my "Spring Forest" soup would be equally as soothing and beneficial since it's made with red meat instead.

It really depends on the day. I’ve been craving Swiss cake rolls but am too sick to go to the store and feel bad always making DH do these random food runs for me. But last night I had a dream I was at a store like Walmart and spend hours looking for Swiss cake rolls and couldn’t find any lol

I just got a veggie sub thanks to you ladies and it was delicious! I love reading this thread. It gives me ideas for food that I dont think of. And it gives me a break from the frozen burritos and cheese sticks that I’ve been eating for the past two weeks.

jlovesky

Potatoes-in any form. French Fries, Baked, Mashed, in a casserole. Just give me all the potatoes.

calimom2524

I'm eating leftover meatloaf and mashed potatoes for breakfast. So many side eyes at work lol

livinthesunnylife

I'm really proud of myself because I was hungry and went in the office kitchen looking for something to eat and came back with a banana!   Look at me making a healthy choice for 2nd breakfast!

hfooter

I just ate pot stickers at 9 in the morning because I was craving them. Mind you I had to cook them in the microwave because our kitchen is being remodeled. They still hit the spot lol

ladygali

Now I want Swiss Cake Rolls. 

legallykate

I am kind of craving Subway now but it is a mile away and I don't feel like walking 2 miles round trip (and I am on a work deadline) so I would probably order it and have it delivered and end up paying like $20 for a sub and chips and a drink which I am not sure I can justify. But I went to the close-by sandwich shop yesterday and am not really in the mood for that again. Pregnancy is hard, lol.

hardlyhannah

Now I want pot stickers. 

livinthesunnylife

I thought the same thing!  I have potstickers in my freezer at home.  Guess I know what DS and I are having for dinner.  He loves potstickers!

aj1327

I ordered in again since we are home bound, and I don’t feel bad. 

Turkey burger with cheddar and lots of mustard and a side salad with some kind of delicious dressing that I wish I could eat on everything. This is the second time I’ve has this meal this week.

hfooter

@ladygali I finally got some last night. They were delicious. But DH hid them from me! I have a bad history of binging on sweets.

@calimom2524 meatloaf and mashed potatoes sound amazing right now! 

neeraja_k

Chips and queso for second breakfast. 

melprop

I hit up Subway for a sweet onion chicken teriyaki on flatbread whenever I go to Walmart, since it’s in the WM entrance. I’ve also been loving venison and ramen. DH makes seasoned venison steak, then cooks ramen in the same pan, and it’s amazing. In fact we might just have that for dinner tonight. 

I made a homemade gnocchi Mac & cheese last night that was to die for. Used fontina and applewood smoked gruyere cheeses. I was sad when DH took the leftovers to work today. 

ladygali

@hfooter I hear you on the sweets binging. I’m bad with stuff like that, too. 

@melprop venison and ramen sounds sooo delicious!!!! 

I got a mad craving for chips and dip out of the blue so I’ll be picking that up this week. 

hfooter

Well I’m having jojos tonight for dinner after my neighbor told me she got some. I’ve been eating so horribly

Funnygirl34

Is anyone else really looking forward to the Super Bowl so we have an excuse to buy all the random, unhealthy snacks we've been craving?!

I wish I needed an excuse. I’ve just been eating them anyways...is being pregnant not a good enough excuse?   

hardlyhannah

IP lava cake guys   

hezzer78

I'm about to head to happy hour with some co-workers so I can get some chips and queso and tacos. Seriously been needing Mexican food real bad.

@hfooter What is a jojo? 

hfooter

@hezzer78 basically potatoe wedges I guess. Just delicious especially with the ranch dipping sauce they provide at the markets with it lol.

livinthesunnylife

hardlyhannah

Mongolian Grill. I've had it for 3 of my last 4 meals. 

hfooter

@lakesideknitter omg so jealous. I love me some Mongolian grill! I accredit them to helping get me into full blown labor with my second!

legallykate

OMG I just remembered I have girl scout cookies waiting for me in my freezer, I got home late and put them in and forgot, best Friday gift to myself ever!
