Cravings

We haven't had one of these in a while. What are your latest cravings? On the opposite end, is there any foods that you can't stand right now or make you ill?
I'm mostly craving steak lately. Sweets too, but that's nothing new. I'm thankful I don't work in the bakery this pregnancy. There was temptation at my fingertips all the time with DS. As for aversions, Italian, more specifically red sauce gives me wicked heartburn, as does spicy Mexican, which is one of my favorites. Boo.

Re: Cravings
I am currently craving steak as well. There's nothing I love more than a nice, juicy, rare steak (which I know is a no-no, but oh well) along with a nice baked potato with lots of butter and sour cream. Also, meatloaf. My friend's step-dad makes the most amazing meatloaf and I love it when he makes it for Sunday dinners so I can pig out.
On the more sweet side, I crave bananas and Air Heads candies, I don't know what my obsession with the artificially fruity candy is, but I always grab a pack when I stop at the gas station.
For food aversions, I still cannot stint pizza. The idea of eating it, looking at it or smelling it still makes my stomach flop which my in-laws find funny considering that DH has a strange love affair with said food item.
Italian food is also a big no for me. Gives me awful integestion!
Not having any food aversions right now! Yay!
No aversions, I am all about food! Or at least no aversions that I didn't have pre-pregnancy.
Mexican food which has always been a favorite of mine makes my stomach turn. It has the entire pregnancy. I've had it a couple times just to try it and it always ended badly.
My only craving is beer. I don't drink beer when I'm not pregnant but oh my god it makes my mouth water and I just can't get the thought of a nice cold savoury beer from a bottle out if my head. Driving me bonkers!!
I did read somewhere that beer if it didn't have alcohol would be the best prenatal vitamin on the market.
I personally have been craving a nice hoppy beer. Stouts were more my thing before pregnancy, and I would still love a stout, but I've been stockpiling the seasonal hoppy offerings over the winter for enjoyment (in moderation, of course!) after ewok comes
Aversions: anything with tomatoes. Reflux is the worst. The. Worst.
Like the PPs I was really ambivalent about food. Sometimes halfway through a meal I feel grossed out. Then until about a month ago...
I wanted donuts. Maybe it's because I've been avoiding sweets for so long? I never cared about donuts until recently. So one day I caved in and had a donut sundae! Ice cream and donuts! Heaven! I was being careful and shared with other people so I don't eat the whole thing but it's still pretty bad. I felt a little guilty after. Does it help that the donut was gluten free and I had almonds for a topping? Probably not.
And pasta!! Mac and cheese or spaghetti, eeeeven thought it gives me heartburn.
Honestly, I can't tell if I'm craving them because I'm pregnant or because I love sweets and I'm a fatty no matter what (and proud of it! Lol)
