Sorry I'm posting this so late after most of you have probably visited the grocery story. We had a fun-filled weekend celebrating DH's birthday at Disneyland yesterday and then hanging with the ILs today. Just got home to a house that needs some serious TLC.

1) I've been craving random stuff -- mostly food, food. Not treats or sweets or anything like that. Last week I had three major cravings: salad (specifically mixed greens with cucumber, tomato, and feta cheese, which gives me a migraine but I ate it anyways

), fruit... (I kid you not, I ate an entire cantaloupe in 2 days), and a baguette. I would slather some Laughing Cow cheese, prosciutto and mixed greens, top it with balsamic and call it a day!

2) The thought of candy is sickening to me.

3) So the other day, it was like Ole Mother Hubbard in our house, so I had to come up with something good to make for lunch. I mixed up some tuna (I know I have to be careful with this, so I rarely eat it) and chopped up some cucumber slices. I topped the cucumber with tuna and had myself a nice crunch lunch!

Cravings lately have been warm food. I'm Puerto Rican and I've been craving lots of Spanish food, along with Soul food. I have been laying low on rice and subbing It with salad. I am all about stew these days. Mom has been sending me chicken stew, and beef stew, homeade chicken noodle soup, and lentil soup. The baby really likes those, makes my belly all warm and she gets excited.

Aversions. Hmm - veggies. Before PG I ate veggies 3-4 times a day. I can't even enjoy baby carrots nor cucumbers which are my fav. It really sucks because I love em but they make me so nauseas and gross me out.

Tonight I make chicken linguine alfredo. Thin sliced chicken breast into small strips, seasoned w/ mrs dash, fresh garlic and ground pepper. Whole wheat linguine. Alfredo sauce, I add a small amount of parm. DH loves texas toast so that on the side for him and a small salad for me. Just lettuce, watercress and tinest pieces of tomatoes that's all I can stomach.

I was in way too much pain today to go food shopping so idk what's for lunch this week. I may go food shopping on lunch tomorrow. I am suddenly craving greek yogurt and also guacamole! Yum..

Cravings?? I had a weekend craving for mozzarella sticks but its gone. Nothing really much that I HAVE to have the last few days but that....and I never got them <<insert super sad face here>>

Aversions?? Nada. Only weird thing (and I guess its a good thing) but I get full soooooooooo fast. Sometimes I'm starving and eat so fast that my stomach doesn't catch up and when it does....the TUMS are needed stat.

Recipes?? I'm not really sure....I know I need to start using my crockpot sometime soon but not sure for what or when. I have some pork chops in the freezer maybe I'll make those one night. I have a Pampered Chef BBQ rub that's tasty plus a little BBQ sauce and they're pretty darn good

Cravings- Grapes and bread (toast, cheese bread, grilled cheese, basically anything with bread lol)

Aversions- still can't stand beef or seafood, but I was able to eat pork this week!

Today I made sweet and hot pepper chicken- it's one of DHs favs. Just a note- I use all regular soy sauce and skip the dark.
