* Foodie Friday *

digwriter · August 2014

Back for another Foodie Friday. As we all inch closer to 2nd tri, I hope that most of us are past or at least close to getting over the rigors of morning (noon and night) sickness and getting our appetites back.

On to this week's Food Friday questions:

Any new cravings?

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)?

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

It was watermelon and sour patch kids, now it is froot loops and marshmallows!

I love subs so I have been eating lunch meat. Everything else I dont really like anyway so ive been okay with that.

My all time favorite food is carbs!! I love breads pastas and potatoes of all kinds!!

Any new cravings?

New, not really, but I'm still into fried pickles. Give me all the fried pickles..and BLT's...and frozen grapes.

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

Caesar salad. gross.

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)?

I will not stop eating lunch meat and I had a few hot dogs grilled over the fire last weekend. They were delish! That's about it though. You won't ever see me touching sushi or raw meat.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

Culvers Chicken Tenders dipped in a chocolate shake.

jennjilljo · August 2014

All cravings are gone except for the occasional need for Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potato Bites and sweets.

The only pregnancy rules that actually affected my eating were lunch meat and unpasteurized cheese. I make panini's instead (thanks to the most random Christmas present ever) and buy my cheeses pasteurized.

My favorite is the food that is close, edible and looks appetizing at the time.

Any new cravings?

I've been obsessed with carrot cake for the past week. Finally caved the other day and had DH get a small cake from the bakery. I've been having little bits of it all week. Glorious!

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

Pickles. I was really into them for the first little while, not it's actually a chore to get through the jar.

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)? I'm eating hot dogs. If I want a sub, I'll have it(not something I usually want though), and my steaks are always medium rare.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

Spaghetti and pizza are my favorites. I crave them at least once a week.

New cravings: We have a pasta place near us that has a Teriyaki Chicken Alfredo that I've been craving. I had it last night for dinner and am about to heat up the leftovers for lunch!!

Any old cravings that are gone? Not really. I was craving cookies and cream ice cream so I had some but I don't crave it anymore. That's the only thing I can think of.

Strictness on rules? I have had a few hot dogs and a coffee here and there but those are the only "broken rules." I tend to be on the cautious side bc of a previous loss. I don't eat any seafood or lunch meat anyway so I'm ok there. I usually eat med-rare steak which I'd probably do medium now but I haven't had steak since BFP so it doesn't matter.

Favorite food of all time? This is tough! I love fried chicken w honey drizzled on it or Mac & Cheese topped w BBQ pulled pork!

agm04 · August 2014

Any new cravings? not really. i just generally hate food a lot of the time, but i do like pickles and mustard consistently.

Any previous cravings that you're now over? too many to list! a few that stick out because i have enormous containers left over that are taking up all the space in my kitchen: goldfish, saltines (less of a craving and more of a necessity that i can't even look at now), flamin' hot baked crunchy cheetos, about 4 different pints of ice cream, frozen pizza.

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)? meh...not that strictly! i've had cold lunch meat a couple times, small pieces of sushi a couple times. still not all that brave about it, but not too concerned.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time? this is so hard! cheese?

krispy83 · August 2014

On to this week's Food Friday questions:

Any new cravings?

I'm all about the salty foods this week. I never ate salty stuff before or even really salted my food much, so this is crazy for me!

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

Not really. Sadly, sweet stuff doesn't do much for me right now, but that's probably good :P

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)?

Not very. I have black forest ham somewhat frequently that I buy freshly sliced at my deli. I had a corn dog at the county fair yesterday. I have had sushi a few times from our favorite sushi place. I don't care for rare meat even when I'm not pregnant, so that's not an issue for me.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

Gah, so many! Pizza with black olives and pepperoni. Really good enchiladas. Chicken chow mein. Chicken parmigiana. All the food!!!

ovharris526 · August 2014

Any new cravings? Hot wings

Any previous cravings that you're now over? I'm over my craving for cheap frozen pizza.

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)? I am very strict! No deli meat, sushi, rare meat, or hot dogs. I really miss hot dogs. I've been to several cookouts and wished for one... just one. lol

What's your favorite food of all time? I'm not sure I have a favorite food.

OH.MY.GOD. I need a corn dog.

mamabisme · August 2014

My old craving was baked goods (cake, cookies, pie, etc). Now, just the thought makes me gag a little. I developed a craving for fruit and lemonade a couple weeks ago and that's still going strong.

I don't follow the rules. I'm an intelligent person and I believe that a little common sense will take you a long way. I had sushi for lunch yesterday and I'll be damned if I ever eat a steak well done. That's just nasty!

I don't have a favorite food. I just love food.

easton2131 · August 2014

I found my stash of left over Halloween candy. I'm eating it as I type and I'm not stopping until its all gone lol

PikoPiko · August 2014

I don't have real cravings, more of a continuation of what I've always liked pre pregnancy.

I still eat deli meat, it's fine according to the papers my OB gave me as long as I nuked them in the microwave before eating. I have a strong aversion to meat, esp hotdogs and all its cookout buddies.

My weaknesses are any shapes of deep fried potatoes and bagels (esp those loaded with cheese and jalapeno toppings) with cream cheese. -- my inner fattie hearts.

mommy510 · August 2014

New Cravings: Today it was biscuits and gravy. Delish! But cooking the sausage almost made me gag. Can't stand raw meat!

Cravings I'm over: I was craving pizza, but now that is just repulsive. I can't imagine ever eating pizza again. Also, I really wanted peach cobbler last week, so I made one and after one piece, I can barely look at it. It was delicious, but I refuse to eat it.

I am pretty good about following the rules of pregnancy diet. I'll have the occasional hot dog or deli sandwich. My OB is very anti-fast food, so I try to stay away from that too.

My all time favorite food: Steak and fried potatoes! I also love tollhouse chocolate chip cookies and shortbread cookie dough.

kismetjess · August 2014

Any new cravings?

I started eating Egg salad sandwiches this week and can't get them out of my head.

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

Not really

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)?

Our grocery store has an in house roasted turkey breast in the deli that I eat. It's pretty much cooked and sliced same day. I avoid other deli meats. I do eat nitrate free hot dogs occassionaly, and only get cooked rolls if we get sushi.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

My taste buds change too much to have a favorite. My hubby cooked a lemon merengue pie last night that I havent gotten to taste yet....So that may be up there after tonight.

freegiraffe · August 2014

Any new cravings?

Pop tarts. I think someone mentioned them in another thread. Haven't had pop tarts in years. They were delicious.

Any previous cravings that you're now over?

I haven't really had very many cravings.

How strictly are you following the pregnancy "food rules" (re. lunch meat, hot dogs, sushi, rare meat)?

Not very. The only things my doctor told me to be really strict about were avoiding high mercury fish and raw dairy. She also suggested heating up lunch meat, but I don't do that every time. I'm eating raw sushi and would not turn down a medium rare steak.

What's your favorite/favourite food of all time?

This is impossible. Cheese.

Cohensmommy16 · August 2014

It was potatos... now its sour skittles and toast with cheese and mustard. Mmmm

This is the story of my life right now.

hopefulsprout · August 2014

I was really into cheese-its and now they sound gross. I'm still ALL ABOUT french fries. Haven't broken any rules other than lunch meat once, not too worried. I love most food, really hard to have a favorite. Right now all I can think about is french fries as I eat this boring instant oatmeal. :-/

@jennwilhoite‌ I was craving cheesy fiesta potatoes too! I didn't think anyone even knew about them. I know the franchise owner of our local Taco Bell and he brought a huge bucket of them to my job as a joke. It was embarrassing but delicious.

I'm so jealous!

Biscotto · August 2014

New cravings: steak, burgers, GIVE ME ALL THE RED MEAT. And roasted potatoes. Cravings I'm over: salad (gag). Pregnancy rules: I haven't been eating deli meat or unpasterized cheeses. All time favorite food: pasta, pizza, steak, my FMIL's cooking.

krispy83 · August 2014

@agm04, it was SO good! I will also admit to stealing a few bites of DS' as well. Hey, he's only 2, he wasn't going to eat the whole thing, I was helping him out, right?!?

So true! We're going back on Monday for a concert and I'm so having another one. They also had a grilled cheese stand similar to the grilled cheese trucks. DH and I split one with cheddar, bacon and mac and cheese. Normally we eat very healthy but we can't help but go all out at the fair!
