@doxiemoxie212 I never thought I'd say this but gimme all that vegan food!

MoonOverGoldsboro

@doxiemoxie212 Holy isht, that is serious food porn!! My mouth is watering. Keep it coming!

profmcgonagall

@doxiemoxie212, that looks amazing

I have been obsessed with cottage cheese lately. I normally buy it maybe once a year or less and now there are 3 containers in my fridge

Sauerkraut

I'm still having a love affair (mostly against my will) with dairy. I can't stop. I think about it all day every day. If I could I think I would subsist on cheese. I keep trying to cut back but my efforts are all ultimately undermined by overwhelming cravings. 

doxiemoxie212

Not pictured: insanely good strawberries from the bougie Melrose farmers market, tumeric ginger milk boba tea, vegan Cuban rice, vegan bao. 

Would strongly reco the LA smorgasburg. Would not reco the ny one if you dislike crowds in small spaces. They are similar tho. 

(Also we saw Common at Alfred tea lol, DH was oddly excited)

I’ve been binge watching The Great British Baking Show which inspired me to bake so I made banana bread of which I have been eating a lot of! 

Austenista

I don't know if it's because I'm a little under the weather or what, but I just ate two oranges and they were the most satisfying thing I've had to eat in recent memory. It was like an event.

LaceyBee522

@doxiemoxie212 It looks like the Cali vegetarian/vegan game is so much stronger than the NY one. Also, Common is AMAZING - totes jealous!

I've had a lot of chocolate milk between last night and this morning, and I hope the gas-X kicks in before work or my co-workers will hate me

But I'm getting a bagel and an iced coffee this morning and enjoying every second of it.

DH went to the grocery store last night for his usual gallon of icecream for the week (damn him and his metabolism) and he found coolwhip with brownie pieces. there's oreo also. I took a spoon straight to the container. I could probably have finished off the whole container like a bowl of icecream. I mean, coolwhip is better than icecream... right?

doxiemoxie212

@catlady1215 lol no, no no no cool whip is gross. #FFMC 

catlady1215

@doxiemoxie212 I'm not usually a big coolwhip person either. but add in that brownie, it was so light and fluffy lol

@Austenista Every morning with out fail DS runs to the fridge and points to the cheese drawer until his demands are met. He is most definitely my child. If I could find vegan cheese that came close to comparing to the real thing then maybe  nope. Just nope. 

Austenista

@kfren vegan cheese is mostly gross. TJ's has a cream cheese that does the trick on a bagel and Chao cheese is pretty okay. The shredded kind though? Yuck across the board for me.

With Easter being the next holiday...Starburst jelly beans and Cadbury creme eggs 

becca_123

@krashke I've already had my fair share of mini eggs this season 

stephcat421

My first random, would never request without being pregnant "craving" hit... Bless DH heart he picked it up for me. Neapolitan ice cream, so weird but kind of good lol.

doxiemoxie212

@kfren yea no interest in vegan cheese here either. I’m vegetarian, don’t think I could ever be vegan bc of my love of cheese. 

llamamama14

After Easter there's kind of a candy holiday drought until Halloween...

ramennoodlegif

@doxiemoxie212 I would say that would be the only thing preventing me from going vegan, but I also really love honey and scrambled eggs. 

catlady1215

@krashke the choc filled Cadbury eggs are amazing. 

izza2

Love Cadbury eggs!

Also love cheese, so I could never be vegan. And I love beef jerky, so I couldn't last as a vegetarian.

krash_

@catlady1215 ummm chocolate filled Cadbury eggs??? I need more information!

amys614

I'm pretty sure I ate triple digit quantities of jelly beans yesterday. I don't even like jelly beans. They were the sweet tart ones, so better than most, but even so, not really sure why I kept shoving them in my mouth 

llamamama14

I'm on the m&m train here because I bought a huge bag for DS's potty training incentives. I have to sneak when I eat them so I don't get lectured. ("But you didn't go potty!") Plus I eat way more than the measly 2 he gets for each pee. 

catlady1215

@krashke I've talked about Dunkin' Donuts February special of brownie batter filled donuts... the cream in these remind me of the brownie batter. It's not a runny cream, little more solid. A-maz-ing. We don't even buy the regular in this house. I get chocolate and dh gets the carmel Cadbury lol

sunshineandwhiskey

@krashke @catlady1215 Ummmmm ladies - Cadbury CARAMEL eggs are where its at

aharv77

@sunshineandwhiskey +1 to CARAMEL cadbury eggs! Just stashed a box in my desk drawer

lisa2589

Can’t forget these little Cadbury’s, guys!!

sabby2

I'm all for the original Cadbury creme eggs myself.

So, I'm like 5 lbs away from my suggested weight gain for this pregnancy.  I suppose I better watch the crap I keep eating.

becca_123

@2589 I'm about to go buy more of those suckers after reading this thread all day.  I live for them. 

krash_

y'all, I don't know how you get away with saying the caramel eggs or the mini eggs are the best. I am willing to give the chocolate a try but I imagine it won't compare to the original creme eggs. 

I do get the mini creme eggs because they are more manageable than one big one and I don't feel as bad about eating three. 

mytinc

Give me all the ice cream.  Any flavor.  I think I'm getting a Frostie from Wendy's for my commute home.

I was dairy free for almost a year due to nursing and DS2's milk protein allergy.  I could find an acceptable substitute anything (whip cream, coffee creamer, milk, yogurt, etc.) EXCEPT cheese.  I missed cheese so dearly.  The entire time I told DH that my first post nursing meal would be a cheese pizza with a side of homemade macaroni and cheese, and a tall milkshake.  Man, I hope this one doesn't have any allergies...

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Cadbury eggs. 

My H is currently on his way to get me my third shamrock shake of the season, who knows how many I'll consume before it's over. 

lisa2589

Crockpot sweet and sour chicken. One of my fav Pinterest finds, and DD loves it too!

I packed my lunch for work this morning.  Leftover chicken and rice from last night's dinner.  And a mini Reese's cup.  And a granola bar.  And an unopened box of Thin Mints...  I say I'm restocking my snack drawer, but over half a sleeve of cookies is gone and it's not even 3 pm...

amys614

I've had a rough morning emotionally, so I decided I deserved? a new girl scout flavor of iced coffee from dunkin donuts. It's yummm

katelynrae86

@2589 that looks delicious! I think I even have all the ingredients on hand so I'm going to try it this week Thanks for sharing.

I tried the new Starbucks hazelnut mocha coconut milk macchiato this morning. Obnoxiously long name aside, it was very good. And since I had a free drink reward, of course I got a venti  Baby and I might be wired today.

lrichhx05

@katelynrae86 that is a ridiculously long name but I need to try that, it sounds delicious!
