Nothing specific yet but any time after 4pm or so I can not stand the thought of anything that isn't crackers or plain pasta. Before 4 I'm at work and get to daydream about all of the wonderful food I have at home only to hate it when I get there, so fun!
My body will only let me eat foods that are white to tan. 75% of my diet for the past week has been pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. I can't eat anything dark or colorful except for black olives. I want to eat all the black olives, but only late at night. During the day olives=gross. I think I might go to the grocery store and look at everything to see if anything appeals to my weirdo pregnancy brain. I'm scared I'm going to get tired of pasta and then I won't have anything to eat. I'm also forcing myself to drink a protein shake every morning (while holding my nose so I don't have to taste it as much) so I at least get a little variety in my diet, plus PNV of course.

Greasy bacon cheeseburgers and Reese's! I didn't even notice the Reese's inclination until I cleaned out the drivers side of the xterra (my grocery getter). These two have been plaguing my brain —can't get enough.
Burritos. But not any kind, they have to be El Monterey beef and bean. And I load them up with salsa. I was buying a can of salsa every 3 days. Then I made the mistake of sending DH to the store for more and he came back with red chili. Blah! Not the same at all.
My cravings come as a flash.. like sitting at work and suddenly I so badly want cheesecake or pizza or french fries.. but I'm not totally convinced these are pregnancy cravings, just odd bouts of hunger
While soaking in a hot bath, listening to a Luke Bryan song, I heard something about homemade peach ice cream. I was like OMG that sounds delicious! With peach gummy rings! Other than that I don't have much of an appetite.
No major cravings, but tons of aversions! This is so weird for me because I am a huge foodie. I love to cook and there are only about two foods I dislike. I was browsing Pinterest & had to stop because the food pictures (which normally make me salivate) were grossing me out.
Lately I can't go near meat and nothing sounds remotely appetizing except ramen noodles, fruit, and soft pretzels.
I've had a hankering for fried pickles for the last couple days. It's the only food I've felt like I've actually wanted to eat. I haven't actually had any, though.

@zrain, I know this doesn't offer much variety but you might be able to work off the BRAT diet for a little variety. Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast might keep you from getting bored for the time being. For nighttime, try making a black olive pate & spreading it on some slices of toasted baguette!
I really only got one craving once for asparagus. I guess I have been eating my normal things.
I didn't crave much with my first pregnancy either. I only remember one time really wanting ribs- ate them and they were gross to me. Another time really wanted puréed butternut squash- ate it a few times. And another time I really wanted tortellini, which I never got to eat. I probably haven't eaten it in 10 years, so I don't know where that came from.
@maxinelund - You're crazy!! Only kidding.. but room temperature water is only tolerable if I was dying of thirst (which I often feel like I am - I live a thirsty life). I like my water as ice cold as I can get it!!
You know the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese with the fake powdered cheese...yup that's what I want! lol. Also salmon avocado and hard boiled eggs....but the mac and cheese is like heaven!

@ElcaB I thought about that but fruit grosses me out, so no way am I eating a banana or applesauce! And rice too for some reason. Yuck. Toast I could do. I also discovered I can tolerate roasted walnuts. Unroasted ones smell disgusting to me. Also, when I went to the store I thought lavender ice cream sounded good but when I tried it at home it was way too sweet, so DH gets to finish it.

I was craving anything until I read all of this, I want everything.
Ditto. I wasn't craving anything until this thread got started. Now I can't stop thinking about pancakes and soft pretzels. Ha!
Oh my...with my second pregnancy I couldn't get enough of Auntie Anne's pretzels. I made way too many unnecessary, out of the way, trips to the mall. Yum!
I was surprised to have cravings so early. I was so sick with my first I lived off of dry chex cereal the first month. But with this one all I can think about consuming is hot chocolate. However, it has to be from dunkin donuts
Yesterday I was craving a tofu banh mi from Lee's Sandwiches (a chain that had a restaurant close to my parents house where I grew up). I got so far as writing an email to my parents asking them to bring me one when they fly up to visit on Wednesday, but I couldn't figure out how to make it not sound suspicious (we haven't told them yet). Luckily before I sent it I did some googling and discovered that one of their restaurants had opened 20 minutes away about a year ago. 40 minutes round trip for a sandwich = totally worth it. It gave me a horrible stomach ache since I haven't been eating that much lately (especially not jalapeños and pickled things!), but I am still happy with my decision. I think I might go get another one today!

I had been craving Pho all week and we finally went to get some on Friday, I was so happy. It was the first time we try that restaurant too, it was suggested by one of my husband's employees and since he is Vietnamese I trusted his judgement! It was delicious It was 20mins away too and @zrain I totally agree worth it!!!

Not craving anything. Well I shouldn't say that. I think I want something like Mac and Cheese and rush to get it and then wham! I feel like Im going to be sick. Then I actually have to force myself to eat. I don't have "morning" sickness per say...just hard time following through with eating. So strange. Oh and water -- I literally cannot get enough. I've been drinking about 100 oz a day! GAH now I'm thirsty again.
Been craving home cookin. You name it, I've been whipping it up. Lasagna, grilled cheese tomato soup & crackers, full course breakfast.....and pickles. My goodness.
Saw a picture of chocolate chip pancakes and had to have it. Immediately. Could not whip them up fast enough. Lucky DH was okay with eating those and not a "real" dinner!
We previously ate low-carb, paleo...and now all I crave are carbs (bread and butter, fries, mashed potatoes, pizza, & @LizC216 soft pretzels!). I don't mind indulging since I am feeding little peanut, but meal planning has basically stopped since I never know what I want to eat until I feel hungry. This first trimester will be pricey due to this. Husband has been great, scrounging around for himself in the fridge.
I am also having a major aversion to chicken foods.
