What my pregnant self is eating

Re: What my pregnant self is eating

  • I am not eating my leftover chili for lunch. I am disappointed because I have been doing so much better at eating everything. DH made it on Tuesday, and it was delicious. Today, it's got a flavor that I just can't handle! 
    Granola bar it is. Sigh.

  • Anything I can dip or smother in ranch sounds delicious! Yesterday I had a buffalo chicken wrap for dinner and tonight we made buffalo chicken dip egg rolls!

  • Before I got pregnant I hated tomatoes. Now I can’t get enough. They literally make me SO HAPPY 😂
  • @bartonolivia If I ever ate tomatoes (or any tomato product, tomato sauce on chicken parm excepted), DH would worry I'd been abducted and there was an alien impersonating me...

    This week it's been salmon and a potato of some sort 3(I think) times. Half healthy still counts, right?

  • @bartonolivia that’s me and potatoes. Normally I hate them. But I’ve ordered baked potatoes and such. 
    @greeneyedgirl12 my husband literally asked me, “who are you?” 
  • Made indulgent steel cut oats in my crockpot last night for breakfast this morning. So good - oats, milk, dried cherries, dates, raisins, craisins, and walnuts. Topped it this morning with a little bit of butter and honey.
  • @indulgentgypsy That sounds so good! I've been craving porridge of some sort all day today. A coffee shop near my house offers a few different versions, they are all made with red & long grain rice, quinoa, amaranth, flaxseed with the options of either butter/maple syrup/milk,  spiced honey butter/granola/cranberries/honey, or butter/steamed greens/pepitas and I like to add a soft boiled farm egg to that last one. 
  • A box of cheezits on the way to pick my youngest up from preschool. Boy was he happy to have some when I got him. 😂
  • This vanilla latte and multi grain bagel tasted like the best thing ever.
  • CAVA! 😋😍 I have been doing a brown rice bowl with tzatziki, hummus, olives, cucumbers, pickled onions. I went two days in a row!
  • Just got the most delicious pull pork sandwich. I might have to convince dh to go there for dinner. 
  • Is anyone else having weird hunger patterns? For the past few weeks I haven't been very hungry in the morning but I'm ravenous for a huuge lunch and then disinterested in dinner. It's been helpful for reflux to not eat a bunch of food at night but it seems.. wrong. 
  • @mamanbebe for me it's no breakfast, snack for lunch, and then a big dinner. Speaking of dinner... I'm trying to use up some of the meat in our freezer before I do our big grocery run in a few days. So I started beef cheeks in red wine in the crock pot this morning for tonight and it smells sooo good!!

  • I just had the best Chipotle burrito of my life. 
    Pinto beans, chicken, lots of fajita veggies, corn, SC, and lettuce. It was so perfect. This is really saying something as I’ve been eating Chipotle since forever. I grew up about a mile from store #1 and ate there the first week it opened.

  • I really want a cheese hoagie extra pickles- I’m probably  gonna stop after work.
  • Burgers! Or anything made with ground beef. I was never much of a red meat eater but now I eat it several times a week. I got a side of chicken nuggets with my burger on Saturday and now I want it again...
  • This week or so it's been salmon and french fries 2-4x. Healthy-ish, right?

    Also, so much lemonade. This whole pregnancy, but especially last week, probably cuz I was sick and wanted the vitamin C...

  • I am seriously concerned I'm going to get GD this pregnancy. All I want for every meal and snack is something sweet. Especially breakfast dessert type food. I usually want it to be warm too. 
  • @ccmama3 I'm with you on the sweet food! I've been eating strawberry shortcakes lately, and justify it by loading on the strawberries. 
    Also, spaghetti. Tomatoes made me queasy during the first tri, but now I crave spaghetti. 
  • Damn these girl scout cookies. I can't stop myself. I don't keep this crap in the house because neither my husband nor I have any self control with sweets. He bought 6 boxes from his boss because he said he felt "obligated". My ass. You just wanted an excuse to bring home cookies. And now I am the one home all day eating them.  I have gained 3 lbs this week, and I blame the cookies.

  • @ameliabedelia-2 I have a box of Samoas in my desk because DH doesn't like coconut so there's no point in me bringing them home. And now 2/3 of the box is gone.
    Have you tried the s'mores cookies? The filling is good but the cookie part is a little gritty. 
  • @hestia14, yes! I did try them. I ate one a day for like 4 days in a row. I didn't like them at first, but I kept eating them anyway. And by day 4 I liked them. Because that makes sense....just keep eating unhealthy stuff until it tastes good :/

  • I’m meeting a friend for a late lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings today. I’m getting super pumped about it! 
  • one of our VP's in the office brought in 3 boxes of Girl Scout cookies yesterday, thin mints, savanah smiles and tagalongs.. of course I had to eat like 3 of each.. I work with my mom who sits right across from me and she is watching me eat the cookies asking if i really need to eat so many... yes i do, they are damn delish! 

    for breakfast today was a jalapeno bagel with cream cheese, followed up by a snack of cottage cheese.. trying not to eat cookies today. got on the scale this morning and wanted to cry... 

  • Current weird-a** craving: orange cream soda...

    Today, I went outside to one of the food trucks to get a Coke, bc my silly hospital ONLY has Pepsi products and I just needed one.

    But instead of returning inside with just a Coke, I came back with spaghetti, chips, two cookies, AND a Coke 🤦
  • Is anyone else really suggestible with cravings?  I am hungry nearly all the time, and if I see/hear about some kind of food I NEED it NOW. Lol. It is frustrating.

    @quinniebear Yes. So suggestible this whole pregnancy.

  • My iron was a little low at my appointment... my OB said to buy some cream of wheat because it has the highest iron concentration on their chart. Sooo luckily I was already making some chili for dinner.... that was good... 

    but the cream of wheat? Not so much. I added some maple syrup and I guess it helped a little. Still better than an iron supplement though! 
  • @Bear14+ I hate Cream of Wheat. Ew. 

    @quinniebear OMG. SO suggestable. My hubby realized it on Saturday, that once I get something in my mind, I kind of have to have it and it just doesn't go away. That's how we ended up getting ice cream when it was only 30° out. LOL. But it was DAMN GOOD ice cream.

    @hakele I got shaved ice when it was 33 feels like 25, and another similarly cold day where I didn't actually look at the weather. Sorry zero percent sorry.  :D

  • @Bear14+ I usually add honey and a bit of peanut butter to my cream of wheat. Still not the greatest thing in the world, but not bad either! I’ve had low iron with both of my previous pregnancies. Curious to see if that holds true for this baby

  • @greeneyedgirl12 I HAD to have Jamba Juice on New Years Day. It was 10°. My hubs was like, you are crazy. I gave 0 f*&%s. Shave ice sounds amazing! Good thing I'll be in Hawaii in a couple weeks! 
  • I guess I’m the weird one, I love cream of wheat! Just add a bit of brown sugar and sooo good!! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
  • I'm with you @jennm0724! I love cream of wheat too!
  • @cindler Yes!!! I think I’ll have some this week with all this talk! 
  • I have been eating bologna sandwiches for lunch everyday this week. I don't think I have had a bologna sandwich in like, 15 years before I bought some a few days ago. It just.....spoke to me, lol.

  • These THREE restaurants are in the same strip mall thing by my house, and today my stomach decided it wanted all of them. Fries, tacos, iced tea and cherry limeade. So not actually THAT much food, but still slightly ridiculous in other ways.

  • I just walked all over the campus at work trying to hunt down an ice cream bar.. I knew one of the cafe's had Dove bars... I walk my ass down there, RLP killing me, only to find out the ice cream is seasonal! I just wanted a damn dove bar!!! 
  • @Bear14+ I just bought a box of cream of wheat. Had it with blue berries, toasted pecans, and maple syrup this morning. So good!
