    Lol @sliztee I'm on DHs sleep schedule and he works 2nd shift so it's not too late.. waking up before 930 am everyday?? Now that's rough..
  • Sunday is our only day off so we usually stay up late Saturday evening because we get to sleep in! Usually it’s up at 5:30 and bed by 8:30-9
  • My body just doesn't work that way; in bed by 10 and always wake up by 8. I have no concept of staying up late / sleeping in late...
  • My body naturally wakes up between 4 and 5 now, and sciatica prevents me from sleeping past 7. Currently 7:45 pm and I'm completely exhausted from doing nothing all day.
  • I was so proud I stayed up last night to watch the 10:30pm showing of Jurassic World and didn't fall asleep during the movie! (Which was fantastic btw) I also resisted the urge for movie theater popcorn even tho it smelled sooooooooooo good. We did get coldstone ice cream right beforehand though so I woulda felt bad giving in to two cravings back to back lol Unfortunately my body also doesn't have any concept of sleeping in so now here I am awake after only sleeping 5ish hours.

    For anyone wanting the manchego mac & cheese recipe, it's in the spoiler. I got it from a friend so it's not the best instructions since he eyeballs everything. I haven't made it myself but it is all sorts of sinful. I'm sure you could also tweak it to make it from scratch with diff types of pasta if you want. Seems simple enough.

    Sorry it took so long for me to post it! I've been checked out of the app for the last couple weeks cause life has been crazy.

    Manchego mac & cheese:

    1 box white cheddar mac n cheese
    3 wedges of manchego cheese, shredded
    1 tub of whipped cream cheese
    Garlic powder to taste
    Bacon bits (optional)

    Cook the mac and cheese per the box instructions but do not drain all of the water from the pot. Add cream cheese and garlic, stir until melted. Add white cheddar from box mac and cheese and 2/3 of the shredded manchego. Stir until fully incorporated. Add bacon if desired. Pour the mac n cheese into a glass baking dish, shred remaining 1/3 of manchego on top and bake until crispy/golden.

    I just ate the most delicious tomato/mozzarella/basil sandwich. I'm so sad lunch is over.

    I'm snacking so much. I just want to eat every two hours! Today I have had a bowl of cereal at 6am (thanks dog for waking us up at 5) then an egg English muffin sandwich with a hash brown at 10, then some fruit and veggies at 12 followed by 6 random spring rolls. This afternoon will likely consist of popcorn and a yogurt before dinner! So much food  :#

  • @chyvie This is me to a T! I feel like I barely eat an actual meal. I just graze on snacks all day long. If it was healthy snacks that would be one thing, but all I want right now are Doritos and cookies!
  • chyviechyvie member
    @SawyerRichardson oh yesterday consisted of 5 cookies, some chocolate covered pretzels and my regular ice cream bar. I'm a sugar addict pregnant! Usually I'm all about the carbs but stay away from sweets but now I just want all the sugar .I hope I pass my diabetes test next week!

  • I also made it through the 10 pm showing of Jurassic Park last Friday. Since it's my husbands thing, I didn't have much choice (but it is a good movie anyway). I was more worried about having to get up to pee. I did, however, eat an entire bag of popcorn. After eating 1.5 donuts at a baby shower before that.

    I'm pretty sure this kid is going to have my terrible palette. I was a really picky eater as a kid and pretty much only ate the terrible things. I've gotten much better as an adult, but still prefer the terrible things. I've been really enjoying McDonald's chicken nuggets that I used to pretty much subsist on as a child, but don't get very often anymore. Also, last night she had me thinking about Spaghetti O's and the Chef Boyardee ravioli in a can...…. I'm in for trouble.
  • @hannaht8516 I've been craving Spaghetti O's too!  I haven't had them in probably 15 years, but I'm not gonna lie, I think I've eaten like 5 cans this pregnancy!  :D
  • @SawyerRichardson I might have to get a couple cans, just for sentimental reasons...…...

    @chyvie that sounds delightful!! 
    @jemmerjams I feel like all I want to do is eat!! So that all sounds great and I saw go for it
  • KFrobKFrob member
    @chyvie that’s me too!! All I want are sugary carbs, like I want all the baked goods, all the time.  
  • Same here, @KFrob, and I didn't have much of a sweet tooth before pregnancy.
  • Over the past week I have a taste for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I haven’t had one since I wasn’t little!
  • @quiltandknit - I am totally planning to have peanut butter and jelly for lunch.  
  • @chopchop25 @nikimelon I’ve never had Reese’s puffs cereal, but they sound delicious... and now I want them... 
  • chyviechyvie member
    @quiltandknit :o I live off peanut butter and jelly. Eat it almost every day 
    Today I had a bacon egg McGriddle and OMG I forgot how tasty those were!

  • We always have Reese's Puffs in the house too! Im not a big cereal eater since I dont like milk, but I'll kill a box of Reese's Puffs. They are actually my go-to if I need something sweet and we are out of candy.

    As far as PB&J, Uncrustables are a staple in my household!
  • @SawyerRichardson - You are supposed to put milk on cereal?  Eww.  Then it gets all soggy.

    (Okay, so I actually have a couple varieties of cereal that I’ll eat with milk, but normally I eat it dry as an afternoon snack.)
  • Now I REALLY want a chocolate munchkin.
  • GIMME DA DONUTSSSS
  • @knottieamusements I loveee milk on cereal, but I’ve decided you need to be selective about which cereal you eat with milk. Some types
    will hold their crunch a lot longer than others, while some turn to mush like instantly (yuck!)  
  • Darn you ladies! Now I want dry Kix as a snack with a big glass of cold milk (and I just ate lunch!). And Pb and J on the really cheap squishy white bread. 
  • @chyvie - +1 for donut holes, but I kind of wish you hadn’t helpfully shared that translation because I want them now.  (Okay, so I have wanted donuts all morning, and the PB&J didn’t stop that desire.)

    All I’ve wanted lately is Tootsie Rolls and Raising Cane’s. And cherry pie from this place near Austin, so I plan to pick up a couple while I’m visiting my family and share with no one.
