August Cravings

lexilougolden

I NEEDED ham fried rice last night at 10:45PM. MH tried in earnest to find some but sadly we didn't have any late night Chinese food places available.

It's okay though because I got sick 15 minutes later anyway!

@lexilougolden oh no! I asked my husband to pick up chicken to throw on the grill for me (he and the kids wanted fish) but after he got home I saw someone post a photo of a gyro on FB and now I can't stop thinking about gyros. The closest gyro place is an hour and a half away, so that's not happening. 😔

I'm starting to notice that my cravings are becoming a little less specific. For example, last trimester it was "I need specifically a DQ twisted dipped cone, anything else will suck and I will vomit" and now it's "I'd like that IKEA frozen yogurt cone, but a plain cone at McDonald's or DQ would also be okay" but I still need the ice cream xD

I constantly think “oh I want that”, go and get it or have DH get it and…don’t eat it. It’s so weird. But I’m currently all over everything bagels with plain cream cheese and want a tea vs coffee. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Works because I like those things from Tim Hortons vs my usual at Starbucks that costs way more.

It’s weird. The only craving I had was for a baked potato once. Nothing else and definitely nothing consistent. With DS1 I had nachos for dinner daily and a BLT for lunch daily. Couldn’t shake those cravings. With DD, I went through a full watermelon every other day. And eggs. Craved eggs all the time. 

With my loss, I craved sandwiches, but it didn’t matter from where or which sandwiches. 

This one…. I guess im still waiting.

We were watching Superstore last night and there was a scene where they were standing in front of a freezer that happened to have on of those shitty one dollar Celeste pizzas in it. And now it’s all I can think about 😂 I just added 5 to our Instacart order…

@angelz429 OMG my mom sent me a pic of her eating a steak and baked potato and I cannot get the baked potato out of my head. 

I have mad cravings for cheese (between nausea), just a solid block of sharp cheddar cheese, nachos, Mac and cheese, cheese enchiladas. I was dairy free for about a year and it was really good for me but during pregnancy my intolerance sort of goes away and I think my body can use the extra calcium so I’m indulging. With my daughter it was mandarins and watermelon all the time.

Toasted French bread with spinach or spinach and artichoke dip. I've bought my second batch in a matter of a week. Sooo yummy.

I am having fewer cravings and more aversions. I just want cold food all the time.

Ice cold water and salty stuff. Salty almonds hit the spot last night. 

kaf1788

@alylove11 I feel you on the ice cold water. Our ice machine broke and it will take like 6 weeks to have it replaced under warranty. I am DYING without it - like I feel like I can't drink water anymore. We have the trays but it's just not the same 

photographerwife

I just had spaghetti with some of that raw cut sauce, and for the first time in a long time, the onions did not bother me! It hit the spot! 

ohsunnydays2

OMG you guys it's the McDonald's Minute Maid Pink Lemonade slushies lately. 

lexilougolden

+1 for ICE water. It's seriously the only way I can drink water now! @ohsunnydays2 I have never tried one but it sounds so refreshing!

angelob88

Oooooo count me as +1 for ice water. 

Oranges have been a craving this week for me, I've had one every morning and it's helping me to keep something in my stomach. It feels so hit and miss lately with food. I couldn't even take more than a bite of pork yesterday or the day prior so it remains a guessing game of what is going to sit well and what isn't.

ninrms

@ohsunnydays2 Ohhh I have been craving a frozen Coke like crazy—Hulu keeps advertising them from McDonald’s. I live in a small rural town, though, and the closest McDonald’s is 1.5 hrs away!! 😭 I’ve been craving all sorts of McDonald’s things, actually, and I rarely eat it.

chgilmore

@ninrms +1 for coke and those mcdonald's specific cravings! what is up with that?!

Also what is up with being more suggestible to food-based advertising lately? Like I actually hate taco bell so why do I suddenly want a crunchwrap supreme or whatever whenever a commercial or ad pops up?

livingoffpbjs

I didnt take out any meat to cook with later so DH is picking food up on his way home. I wanted to make the order online and have him just pick it up but he said to just send him what I wanted and he will call the order in when he leaves work..... So I told him I want a white pizza, toasted spicy raviolis, chicken tender and fry basket, and a chocolate muffin.... he asked if we had anyone coming over.....nope, all for me 

ninrms

@chgilmore Yes!! It’s the ads getting me, too! And Taco Bell is the only other specific place I’ve been craving! The closest Taco Bell is even further away, lol.

kaf1788

@chgilmore yupppp or it doesn't even have to be ad, just a suggestion. We were watching some show where they were eating buffalo wings last night and now I've demanded that we are having Wing Stop for dinner tonight.

chgilmore

@kaf1788 yes the suggestions!!!! I had a similar experience with boneless wings. I watched an interviewer on Youtube grill Kristen Stewart as they eat increasingly spicier wings

ninrms

Speaking of wings—I bought a bottle of Frank’s hot sauce, and that stuff has gone on more food than I’d like to admit 🙈

Pre-pregnancy I only drank room temp water but in that past few weeks I’ve Needed ice water at all times lol
No food cravings atm but I’ve had them in the earlier weeks.

ninrms

I was lying in bed last night craving soft pretzels like crazy…so this morning I made these and they were SO GOOD!

And (speaking of Frank’s hot sauce) I made this cheese dip to go with it:

@ninrms I now want soft pretzels with cheese. Those are going on my to-make list for the week. 

ninrms

@makingbacon They were  surprisingly easy! I opted for the baking soda bath instead of egg wash. It made 12 smallish pretzels, and after I ate four in one day I decided to freeze the rest 😂 Microwaved one for DH last night and it was just as yummy!

lexilougolden

I had soft pretzels and buffalo chicken dip yesterday! What a coincidence! Haha! Though I did not make them...
