Well I tried to make grilled cheese and pickle sandwich (suggested by @tryingktogku in another thread). I wasn't paying close enough attention and I scorched it 😭. I didn't have enough ingredients to make another one, so I had to eat it anyway.

I’ve been in such a taco mood lately. I’ve requested it 3 times in the last five days. Also, I’ve been loving the peaches in season! So far June is off to a good start for me. 🌮🍑

I’ve just been eating way too many carbs and way too much and honestly it’s like a mix of feeling bad because I’m nauseated and then feeling and because I’m eating not the greatest. So today I’m going to start making a conscious effort to actually portion control and also choose more variety again!

I just want all the carbs.  Also Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  I almost always get some kind of cereal craving during pregnancy.  Fruity Pebbles with my first and Cinnamon Toast Crunch with my rainbow baby.

@sparklingdiamond maybe your cereal cravings are a gender hint  

sparklingdiamond

@bwow615 Maybe!  My first was a boy, followed by the daughter we lost, then my rainbow daughter....maybe it means another girl since I want the same cereal

Yesterday I developed an intense craving for panir masala and ordered a ton of Indian food so I’ve had that for dinner last night and lunch today so far.

I feel like I have been eating nothing but carbs and sugar. I am loving chocolate chip cookies lately more than normal. I am also craving grilled cheese and tomato soup a lot. I have noticed that even though I am not having a ton of morning sickness, I do have quite a few food aversions too which is new for me. I'm going to try to eat more natural sugars like fruit instead of all the baked goods.

Turned a corner this week and now I am eating my body weight in eggs every day, loaded with salt, pepper, and dill.

I’m eating crepes with chocolate hummus and bananas/strawberries for late night snack. If you haven’t tried chocolate hummus it’s amazing as it uses chickpeas and dates and a bit of coco powder so it’s got lots of good protein crepes I buy at Costco and heat up in the microwave.

Carbbbbsssss, so many carbs. And really dehydrated, I’ve never been good at drinking water at work but I also am tired of plain water 

itsmejay

@footdrbritt Try adding lemon to your water so it’s not so plain. It tastes sooooo good. I can drink that all day.

mrshaller

Let's see... started with oranges and bananas; cereal(ctc, golden Graham's, honey smacks). yesterday I made an giant plate of steamed broccoli with shredded Colby jack and lemon pepper‐it was amazing.  I've found that I am DESPERATE for all things sour, and lemonade helps my constant nausea. 
Now that you mention it,  a grilled cheese sounds amazing right now.

I want pork burritos with lettuce, sour cream, cheese and cucumber. I want pickles and popcorn. I want salt. The cravings are so strong haha! Peekaboo pro test said I am having a boy. With my girl I craved ALL the sweet things!

In general, anything other than what I've ACTUALLY bought to cook for dinner

jesofthenorth

This pregnancy has turned me into a carnivore. I only want meat and eggs all day every day! Guess we don’t have to worry about getting in that iron and choline…😂

jennifer_louise

I feel almost stereotypical saying it, but pickles all the way.

Also, junk food. My most recent impulse purchases were Lucky Charms, Pop Tarts, and those Pilsbury Cinnamon Rolls.

@footdrbritt I am also historically not very good at drinking plenty of water. I vary it with flavored sparkling waters. I love the triple citrus sparkling ice + caffeine. It’s less caffeine than tea and tricks me into thinking it’s a sprite like soda.

tmoreno93

Anyone else totally turned off by their old favs?! 

The thought of eggs, chicken and ANYTHING that has been near an onion ruins me.
Give me all the carbs, BLT’s and burgers though 😂😂 

42lemons

@zamoraspin now I want Indian food!

@tmoreno93 last time, I couldn't eat onions or tolerate the smell of garlic.  One day my husband made garlic bread, and I had to leave the house until he finished eating it.  So gross. 

I've mostly been craving salt and protein with this pregnancy.  Once again this time around, sugar makes me nausaus and gives me heartburn, so I've been avoiding sugar and switched to keto for sweets, as I seem to be able to tolerate that.  So I've eaten a lot of keto cupcakes this week lol

zamoraspin

@42lemons  Meanwhile if it has garlic in it, I’ve probably eaten it this week. Homemade Taziki sauce with crushed garlic, lemon orzo with garlic and tomatoes, more Indian curry with lots of garlic naan. I told DH I’m sorry but I’m apparently going to be sweating garlic all summer.

No chicken but loving steaks and carbs. Smells bother me more this pregnancy than my first. 

thankfullyamama

I am craving everything I usually hate lmao ordered Chinese food for dinner tonight. My husband is excited because I usually can’t stand it but I’ve been craving it for days lo

knottieadcfba9428aabe5a

Last night I ordered a Nashville hot chicken pizza complete with pickles and ranch dressing and DEVOURED it. Who am I?

knottiea2f06a02d7f6876c

I live on crackers and chocolate but I managed to eat a whole steak and a quarter watermelon.

jesofthenorth

I found a healthy-ish recipe for cheesecake brownies and whipped those up today. The house smells amazing and the batch came out SO WELL! I feel like we’ll need a cravings recipe thread on here at some point… 🥰

willrunforcookies

The other day I baked a whole chocolate cake because that sounded more appealing than dinner, pregnant or 5?

thankfullyamama

Does everything and anything count? I’m gonna gain 80lbs at this point but I just can’t stop 😩

anxiously_hopeful

What I’m NOT eating: sweets. I usually am the kind of person to eat ice cream every night, but the thought is so unappealing now 😂 

instead I keep craving The Veggie sandwich from Jimmy John’s. And strawberries. 

knottiea2f06a02d7f6876c

I'm eating salty chips and chocolate all day!!! 10 weeks no weight gain yet but I gained 42 with my daughter.

jenpomber

I crave things, buy the things, then quickly do not want the things. Ugh lol but cereal is the one consistent thing I want throughout this pregnancy. Had the same with my last (baby boy).

bwow615

I’m also been craving jimmy johns, the Thai chicken wrap has been pretty amazing. Also birria tacos and nachos. And shredded hash browns with melted cheese on top. Basically everything! Also surprisingly haven’t gained anything this pregnancy. 

anniez85

I have a strong aversion to meat coming into my 9th week. I don’t want to cook it or eat it so had to buy a lot of frozen food for H. Watermellon and lemonade have been my saviour this week along with bagels and cream cheese. Will catch up on protein by drinking some breakfast smoothies if I can get them down. 

knottiea2f06a02d7f6876c

I craved all of that with my girl.

knottiea2f06a02d7f6876c

That was meant for anniez85

Eggs & toast, Smoothies (with added protein powder), and all the carbs! I usually love sweets but have zero desire for them lately. I usually drink lots of water but find it hard to drink with the nausea! Anyone else?

jesofthenorth

@el_3 I agree about water; I’m usually a good water drinker but this pregnancy I hate it. I’m constantly parched though so I’ve been trying to chug seltzer or other no -sugary beverages just to stay hydrated, but it’s all off-putting after the first two sips. 

I’ve also had a nightly hot chocolate ritual for years. I make it from scratch and it’s my way of unwinding. Now? Now it makes me want to barf. Nope nope nope. 

ejs2021

I am craving sweets so much! Chewy chocolate chip cookies are #1. I am going to try harder to switch to fruit because I've read the empty calories aren't so good for baby... Sigh!

Recipe? ❤️
