What My Pregnant Self is Eating (w/o 1/31)

MoonOverGoldsboro

Because that last thread is getting beastly.

MoonOverGoldsboro

I just came from a meeting where they had Dunkin' Donuts. I am on the record on this BMB for thinking DD is totally gross...but I took a donut anyway.  I don't know what the deal is, but my second trimester appetite is off the charts. I do not remember this from last time.

I've been avoiding the last thread because I have something like 72 unread comments on it.  No thanks - I can get hungry on my own without scrolling through all that.  LOL

fantasticmrsfox

@mytinc mine is at over 200 unread 

I cant get enough cheeseburgers. Huge ones too lol

Finally made the avocado toast I'd been craving all day. Made mine on a ciabatta roll with grape tomatoes, nutritional yeast, and everything bagel seasoning from TJ's.

@MoonOverGoldsboro I'm sooo into donuts right now. I have never been a big fan, but as of the last couple of weeks I can't get enough. I had to pass by the Krispy Kreme at Penn Station Monday night...totally bought 4 donuts.

So I didn’t see the last thread until it was too big for me to click on. 

+1 to donuts. I’ve been craving a cinnamon powdered donut and they are always out at my closest DD when I go. 

Ive also been craving sugary cereal like crazy. I just bought a box of Golden Crisp and Honeycombs. 

LaceyBee522

@dinodna3 Me too with the cereal! I'm literally snacking on Lucky Charms while bumping!!

Went to ABCv Kitchen with my friend for lunch today (ah, the perks of having friends who are doctors - they too have odd schedules) and OMG YUM


Fresh spinach pasta with broccoli rubble, lemon, kale, saffron bread crumbs, arugula and parm

cereal has become my got to at about 10 pm. I'm sure it's really healthy to have all that sugar before bed. 

becca_123

@Austenista Mmmm your take on avocado toast looks so yummy!

glitterfingers

Whoever gave me the idea of getting a veggie sandwich and adding bacon on the last thread - you are awesome. I am eating a cream cheese, bacon, tomato and avocado sandwich with all the fixins (no peppers or sprouts) and a ton of mayo. I just found out there's finally a Jimmy John's in town so it's about to be game on - without the deli meat.

megara5

I'm obsessed with ranch right now, so I'm eatng a ton of salads.

MH made mac & cheese for us for dinner, bless his heart. But he insists on over cooking the noddles. It was a bit disappointing.

I am eating fruit loops with marshmallows every day. And I’ve stopped buying 2 percent milk and just use my daughters whole milk! 

MoonOverGoldsboro

@Austenista That is magnificent. I love nutritional yeast and haven’t had any on hand for so long...must buy immediately!

@LaceyBee522 I’ve never really been a fan of Krispy Kreme either, but I am now positive I could pack away a cool half dozen.

@dinodna3 Golden Crisp is my crack (not only while pregnant). I literally cannot buy it because I will eat the whole box.

dinodna3

@MoonOverGoldsboro I’ve eaten almost the whole box already. It’s been less than 12 hours

The Dunkin' by my office has 1/2 off donuts starting at 3pm, and I am the crazy pregnant lady who shows up at 3:05 almost daily. I think the cashier was super relieved when I started wearing a little more bump-obvious clothing this week, as my habits and expanding waistline had not gone unnoticed.

Now I want donuts.  Mmm.  Speaking of DD, 2 or 3 years ago they had a latte come out around Valentine's Day that was white chocolate raspberry. I used to get a medium iced one every single day, and I don't typically buy coffee out often but it was so glorious. I even went as far as buying a jug of the pump stuff online so I could make them. I look for it every year and those turds don't bring it back. It's very sad. 

sabby2

@glitterfingers that was me and my sandwhich was the sub of dreams!

@doxiemoxie212 that looks freaking amazing!!


Donuts! I know what I'm grabbing this morning!

I'm still craving McDonald's breakfast like all the time!  I coukd eat a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit every day... it's bad..

Also, gimmee all the theatre popcorn.  

I was not so ravenous with dd and I definitely don't remember so many cravings with her.

I need to try this avocado toast. It sounds so good!

ramennoodlegif

@amys614 I know the feeling. I was obsessed with Starbucks' Chestnut Praline syrup and the store closest to me had an overabundance after-season, and sold me a bottle for $10. I cherished every drop.

@sabby2 +1 on the McDonald's breakfast cravings. I have a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit at least once a week. I have also been super into Taco Bell's mini skillet bowls (minus the pico because I hate tomatoes.)

I went to Wendy's yesterday because I HAD to have a chocolate frosty in which to dip my fries. They were out of chocolate. #ithoughtbetterofyouwendys #butitwasforthebaby  #sniffsniff

krash_

@kfren I love dipping my fries in chocolate frosty's! I would have been quite disappointed as well. I forget where you're from but if you have a Culvers you need to get a chocolate shake and fries to dip from them! 

ramennoodlegif

@krashke Ooh, Culver's! I will be trying that the next time I am craving a butterburger. Man, that sounds good!

catlady1215

talking donuts. I loooove donuts. specifically white cream filled ones. not the custard, but white cream. Dunkin donuts is disappointing... small and they get them frozen! a local place near me has huge donuts and freshly made. we go there.

however!!! February is brownie batter donut month at dunkin!! uuuugh that brownie batter is amazing. but now that I have this new big donut place, I'm scared i'll be disappointed

At least you'll know (and if you are disappointed, you'll have an excuse to go to the new place, too.)

catlady1215

@kfren my thoughts are since I'm used to the big ones, I might just need TWO DD ones mmmm!

ramennoodlegif

@catlady1215 You could also go to both places and get comparison donuts.

LaceyBee522

Guys, this special protein donut company was on Shark Tank the other night. https://www.doughbardoughnuts.com/

I'm thinking about ordering some because all I want is donuts anyway AND I'm having trouble getting all my protein.

ETA: Just read the ingredient list and OF COURSE they use almond flour. So, I am NOT getting these. Womp womp. 

amys614

My waist line says thank you.  I now have many food items I must check off my list this week. It's already Thursday. Challenge accepted.

Donuts 
More kinds of donuts
McD breakfast sandwich
Fries and frosty to dip

LaceyBee522

I have been craving a Quarter Pounder from McDonald's for two days. Might have to break down and get that for lunch today. Ugh, I know it will make me feel ick, but I just want it sooo bad.

Austenista

I baked cookies earlier this week and I’ve asked my husband to hide them today. I can’t stay out of them. I can’t stay out of anything really, my appetite is insatiable. 

ramennoodlegif

@Austenista What kind of cookies?

Austenista

@kfren they where homemade chocolate chip out of the Better homes and Gardens cookbook. 

LaceyBee522

I'm still eating Lucky Charms at my desk (dry/without milk). I keep dropping a piece or two and it rolls really far under the desk. My dumb pregnant belly is in the way and I can't reach them, so they're just collecting. I'm so gross...

dinodna3

@LaceyBee522 I eat almost all cereal dry. I vote just try and clean them all before you leave tonight. 

ramennoodlegif

@LaceyBee522 May I suggest this? It is life-changing. I have several at home, one in the car, and one at the office. Harbor Freight, $3.

catlady1215

@kfren a donut comparison might be needed. I'm up for the challenge. I hope they are!

kmurdock925

mmmm I ate all of the cinnamon and sugar donuts when I was preg with DD1.  DH's job site was right by a local bakery who had AMAZING cinnamon/sugar donuts and he would bring them home for me every day.  The lady at the grocery store bakery knew him as the guy with the pregnant wife.  This time I can't stay away from blueberry muffins.  Sams has the best muffins!  and they're HUGE

chartermama

@katie121209 so funny I just bought a box of Fruit Loops with marshmallows a couple of days ago. I haven’t eaten them in years. Random craving. I forgot how yummy they are! Lol.

aharv77

My department and two others at work joined forces for an epic food day to celebrate our last week next week in our building. Literally all of my recent cravings are covered: Donuts, OJ, gummy hearts, fresh pineapple, red grapes, lasagna, breadsticks, chunks of cheese from my fave local cheese place. Ahh. I'm so full!

doxiemoxie212

About to eat a loaf of bread with boursin cheese. Nothing else, just that.
