Let's liven this place up with something we can all chat about... food!

I have been addicted to Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and Greek Salads. 

What are you all eating?

I’ve been into target’s hummus and veggies or triscuits as a snack also have been making homemade grilled cheese with the seedy mustard and turkey pepperoni for lunch! I’m finally feeling like I can eat things other than carbs! 

@karacc18 Yumm I love Greek salad dressing. Have you ever tried gazebo room dressing? It makes a great marinade too!

daisy528

@karacc18 yes on the Greek salads! 

I have been super into fried egg sandwiches on English muffins, any fresh fruit, Italian ices, all the red meat, and ice water. I am usually not a water drinker, but ice water has been hitting the spot. I also got the Liquid IV packs to help me stay hydrated, and they are pretty good!

How stereotypical of me but I could live off pickles right now.

I pick up food to eat almost everyday but lately BLTs have been my jam.  Night time is a crap shoot.  We probably get take out 3 days a weeks since I've been so sick.

@bntfroggie wow a BLT sounds so good right now. I loved those when I was pregnant with my daughter!

bntfroggie

@daisy528 Yeah it was my jam last time too HA HA.

Uugh. Food is still hit or miss over here and nothing really sounds good. For a bit sliced cucumber and tomato with salt and pepper was my jam but after a few times its just meh. I'm so ready for food to be good again.

Ooh the Ben & Jerry's Netflix and Chilled ice cream is sooo good (peanut butter ice cream with salty pretzel and brownie chunks).  I'm also really into the turkey-bacon sandwich from Starbucks, and canned peaches with yogurt.

@daisy528 agreed with the red meat! I’ve been craving burgers quite a bit. 

@bntfroggie I’ve been thinking a jimmy johns blt sounds amazing lately but haven’t gotten one yet!

I agree with what a lot of you are saying! Greek salads, red meat, and pickles. Those are all things I usually love, but they taste even better while pregnant. I also like ranch dressing on sandwiches/wraps, but only when I’m pregnant. This time and last pregnancy!

I’ve been eating lots of grapefruits and apples but generally my cravings/aversions have calmed down so my diet’s been pretty normal. A few weeks go I couldn’t get enough of cucumbers and olives. So many mini charcuterie boards (minus the meat component lol).

a Greek salad sounds amazing! I’ve been craving breakfast burritos and carne asada fries (french fries, carne asada, cheese and sour cream) and mint chocolate chip shakes but also chips and ranch dip

I mean. What am I not eating is a better question.

 I was practically on a 90% carb diet during first trimester, so I’m thrilled to be enjoying a bigger variety of foods again. This week I’ve been all about a homemade little gems salad with tons of avocado and super flavorful small tomatoes, and a dressing of olive oil, lemon, salt & pepper. I’m usually a salad in a bag girl so this is “homemade” for me 😆.

Just wanted to hop on and say thanks to this thread I had a Greek salad for lunch today! 😂

Recently started making myself peanut butter and banana smoothies with some ice, Greek yogurt, almond milk, banana, and peanut butter. For those suffering with indigestion or heartburn, this combo seems to really be helping relieve any symptoms of those!

My husband made some homemade coleslaw with homemade mayo last night. Seriously the best thing I've had in a long time!

Ooh just made an amazing veggie wrap: pesto, shredded carrots, spinach, avocado, feta cheese.  Yumm!

A coworker offered me some freeze dried strawberries the other day and it tasted like heaven! Literally told MH that he couldn’t come home from running errands until he’s bought some today 😂
