I officially have a WEIRD craving: an old craving from way long ago... instant mashed potatoes mixed with salsa and hot sauce... AND instant potatoes mixed with BBQ sauce.
With my last pregnancy, I was all about the chocolate milk and ice cream. This time, I am gagging at the thought of anything sweet and creamy! I need acid! Citrus, lemon water, malt vinegar (with or without fries!), cole slaw, greens heavily dressed with balsamic or some other vinaigrette, and yes...dill pickles (not those crap bread and butter...yuck)! I am not going nuts for salty things like chips (except salt and vinegar chips...yumm!), just very acidic and spicy foods. Of course, they taste soooooo good and then the rest of the day I have horrible heartburn. Ugh!
I haven't had anything I'd call a full blown craving, but this week, anything that does not sound awful counts. As others mentioned, one day it's great, next, can't eat it. I've been waiting for something to sound good before giving up and just forcing something down. What did my brain light on? Frozen KitKat bar. *facepalm* Not giving in without some real food in me. Especially since I don't have any at home-- definitely not making a trip for junk.

Me 100 percent. Bring on the vinegary, sour, and spicy foods.
I ate an entire can of those Pearl black olives...and then I NEEDED a PB&J. Now I am snacking on my son's Minion fruit snacks. They are sooo hitting the spot!
Every day I'm craving something new! Today so far it's been peanut butter! It's mainly food aversions for me, so I've been eating all that I can stomach.
For a while my appetite plummeted as nausea kicked in. The past few days though I've been craving veggies and spiciness-- salads, broccoli, Brussel sprouts with siracha, etc.
I need flavored sparkling water. I was on the fuji apple one and now it's the cherry limeade. Helps with nausea. I was also craving strawberries and cottage cheese together so I ate that. And now I want banana peppers on something... just can't figure it out yet.
Chocolate milk! I never really drank it before. Also I seem to get more aversions than cravings nowadays and have to force myself to eat. I used to love salads and now the sight of spinach makes me gag. Anyone else feeling hungry all the time but trouble eating something without gagging?? Ahh
My dinner from last night repulsed me at lunch today. :-O
This is me. I made a vegetable curry last night --a big old pot of it, so I'd have leftovers to take for lunch. The thought of eating it this morning made my stomach turn. Looks like DH is going to have to eat it all.
As for cravings, I'm still really feeling a strong desire for fruit, especially watermelon.
Pasta! Chocolate milk has been a constant. And ice cream. Especially cookie dough ice cream....yummm
Today I was craving Chinese beef and broccoli at 11:30. Funny thing is, I have never had it before so not sure where the craving came from.
When we found I was KU I told myself I was going to eat only healthy food. I lost weight this year for my wedding and hate to tip the scales too much. Oh well.
This is a new one. All day all I wanted was pork and veggie stir fry. So I get home and as I am cooking it, it is just the most repulsive thing, but I don't want to waste food so I finish cooking it. As I watch my son eat it, I suddenly must have it and have now devoured like 3 portions! What?! Get a hold of yourself body!
This week it is meat, sugar, and carbs. And Krispy Kreme donuts. I'm really going to need for my Panthers to start losing (never thought I'd say that) because every time they win the Krispy Kremes around here offer a dozen donuts for 3.99. See my problem? Yesterday I had one donut and the baby had two. Today I had one and the baby had three....... my baby loves Krispy Kreme.
