Comfort Food......I did it on purpose....

jbzwifey · March 2014

So as usual it's me and the youngest of our 4 home today for lunch. She wants a PB&J. I suggest Mac N Cheese. She wasn't overly excited but whatever. So as I am cooking this box of childhood yumminess......I remember......Oh mom use to put hotdogs in it back in the day! I rummage in freezer and fine one package of hotdogs.....SCORE! DD is going to love this I tell myself. When my masterpiece is done.....I make a little bowl for her (she's almost 3) and sit down with her at the table with my salad with chicken. What does she do?? freaks out because there's hotdogs in the Mac N Cheese. After failing to convince her how amazing this is. I pick them out and eat one. GAME OVER! I have now continued to walk into the kitchen every 2 mins and shovel a spoonful in my mouth for the last hour. I totally made this for myself......

Anyone else having this problem?

I made DS spaghetti-o's a couple weeks ago only because I really wanted them (I never buy them but they sounded so good!). I gave him some then totally inhaled the rest. I felt like such a jerk when he said he was still hungry and asked for more, but it was already gone.

@Bella2425 I totally would never eat hotdogs and mac n cheese. Honestly haven't had it since I was a kid. But OMG total craving all the sudden. I think I was trying to tell myself this was totally for DD....yeah right. Now Spaghetti O's sounds good. I've never bought those for DD I think we may pic up a can next trip to the store. I don't know what it is with my cravings lately lol

What's really good is putting ham in Mac n cheese!

I've been eating Fruit Roll ups. I will not share these with my kids. I haven't had one since I was in grade school, but suddenly they are like mana from heaven.

I do vegetarian baked beans in my mac & cheese!

I'm on my own for dinner tonight (DH has class) and now I can't decide if I want Mac and Cheese or Spaghettios...thanks ladies!

trebekastan · March 2014

I hope everyday that DH won't be home for dinner and I can get whatever I want.

deviousmuse · March 2014

All of these sound amazing.

In my house, I've taken to hiding coconut gelato bars from my hubby (his favorite) because I want them allllll for myself.

See also: Red velvet cake ice cream, Cheezits, white cheddar popcorn.

As long as the hotdogs are thoroughly cooked, you're fine. Thats what my ob told me anyway. I normally hate hot dogs but have been craving them like crazy. Also natures promise makes all beef and nitrate free ones which are pretty good.

@envy1328 pick up (or download) Expecting Better by Emily Oster. She takes all the crap you're told not to do and actually explains the cause for the warning, breaks down the real statistics, and makes the whole thing a lot less terrifying and vague. She also doesn't tell you what to do, instead she gives you information that helps you make your own decisions about your body and pregnancy.

I picked it up when we were talking about TTC and read it in a weekend. I'm usually a very rule-abiding-wreck-of-nerves but reading this really calmed me down and has (I think) made my whole pregnancy more enjoyable!

ETA: Hubbs is making enchiladas for dinner but now all I want is mac and cheese with hot dogs!

If you're uncomfortable about hot dogs you can get nitrate-free organic ones. I also found organic nitrate-free bacon as well. Cook it up good...craving solved

For possibly the first time ever, pregnant or not, I'm actually not craving mac n cheese. But the talk of hot dogs and nostalgia has me craving a fried bologna sammich with 'Merican cheese and mayo. Haven't had one in 20+ years, but damn that sounds good to me.

jbzwifey · March 2014

Can I just say first of all this is pregnancy number 4 for me and I have ate hotdogs at baseball games and whatnot........also have had lunch meat......all of my children have been fine. I do understand that things change yearly and sometimes monthly on what is safe and not safe during pregnancy. I try to enjoy this time and not drive myself crazy over the safety issues. I do run new things past my OB and see what she thinks. If she's ok with it.....I'm not going to stress. That being said I totally finished the amazing mac n cheese with hotdogs yesterday....DELISH! I went to the store yesterday just to buy hotdogs and spaghetti o's.....totally eating this when the hubby and kids are gone

I had frozen mac n' cheese last night...albeit gluten free...but STILL mac n' cheese! So. Fucking. GOOD.

Now I just need to find some gluten free hot dogs that I like. For now, i'll live vicariously...

Wait...what is THIS deliciousness???

you just blew my mind with this picture.....and where did you find this piece of heaven!

lbonga1 · March 2014

I only had one time during my last pregnancy that I actually had a craving and sent my fiancé to the store for it…and it was for spaghettios with meatballs! This time I just want all food in general, but fast food has been making me nauseous once I eat it. At least my body wants healthy stuff.
