vino831 · August 2016

Kiki75 as we talk about what everyone is eating/craving/not eating this week. I've never used a GIF on tB before but saw that she did on all of her posts so I figured I better step up my game for yall! (Fingers crossed lol)

Nothing specific going on food wise this week? Anything delicious you're looking forward to enjoying before summer ends?

I just made the egg sandwich to end all egg sandwiches this morning...tomato, cheese, turkey bacon. So amazing.

Last night I got adventurous and made fried stuffed squash blossoms with an heirloom tomato salad and hot chili oil. I must have had a vegetable craving when I ordered our groceries b/c I got a million colorful & seasonal vegetables. I'm happy b/c during the first weeks of this situation, I was really turned off to raw veggies and even fruit. Happy to say that's over, although I still can't even think about quinoa, which used to be one of my favorite foods!

@onefootinthebayou Wow this looks incredible! What were they stuffed with?

Thanks! I've never really deep fried before and I don't think I got the oil quite hot enough to get a nice brown color but they tasted good!

I just mixed up some fresh ricotta, shredded parm, shredded fontina cheese, & S/P for the stuffing. Mozzarella would work in place of fontina but I didn't have any & was too lazy to walk to the store. I also think the dish would benefit from some torn fresh herbs on top but again...lazy.

That looks amazing @onefootinthebayou !! I'm coming to your house for dinner!

Bran cereal, well, for obvious reasons.

Gators&BoSox · August 2016

they had yoo-hoo on sale at the grocery store.. I haven't had a yoo-hoo since I was probably 8 but I stopped dead in my tracks and threw those bad boys into the cart.. tasted like childhood lol..now I'm over them so I guess it's up to DH

Ivorytower2 · August 2016

My new dinner choice is loaded baked potato. I was eating exclusively saltines for dinner, but the potato has been an amazing change and is bearable with the sickness!

Gators&BoSox · August 2016

mmmmm @Ivorytower2 i think i just found fridays dinner

I made a special grocery store trip for potatoes for just this reason!

Yesterday I had a craving for spinach dip, so that's just what I made.

This sounds so good. What are you loading your potatoes with?

I normally never make potatoes for some reason (just don't love them I guess) but I'd love to hear what you or anyone else dresses their spuds in!

@Ivorytower2
DH and I went to McAllisters so I could have a monster loaded baked potato and it seriously made my life! Was so good. Still on my grilled cheese, soup, ramen, cottage cheese diet which will hopefully evolve in the next couple of weeks!

BelcherEars · August 2016

I had made healthy stuff for this week -hummus and fresh veggies & fruit for snacks, whole wheat/low fat waffles with eggs for breakfast, a fiesta chicken bake and fresh vegetable soup for lunches/dinners. But I had a coworker bring me bag of Trader Joe's Gummy Tummies Penguins today. These are like my personal crack. I've eaten half the bag. Someone stop me please.

peony2418 · August 2016

I did that last week with Haribo gummy bears @BelcherEars!! Evil co-workers! LOL

disneybaby84 · August 2016

I bought Cheetos Cheddar cheese crackers and Reece's peanut butter cups yesterday

liepertsm · August 2016

@onefootinthebayou that looks amaaazing!

The other day I ran out to get some milk and I walked by a shelf of cereal. I couldn't leave without frosted mini wheats and have had cereal for breakfast every day since. Also blueberries, carrots/hummus, and mashed potatoes.

RunBooRun · August 2016

I can eat fairly normal (although no veggies on their own or salad, mixed in/hidden like a toddler diet is where its at) as long as I eat every hour. So I'm on a volume diet, which actually really sucks.

I can't eat or smell anything with garlic. At all. Any amount of garlic and I'm gagging. My mom bought a rotisserie chicken the other day and I could smell garlic. She said she didn't buy the garlic one (apparently there's a garlic butter chicken), but lo and behold, garlic was like number 20 on the list of seasonings and I could tell. DH has started calling me the "garlic bloodhound".

kjd291 · August 2016

Currently making myself loaded nachos. If I put veggies on there too it counts as healthy, right?

onefootinthebayou · August 2016

Y'all. The cravings are hitting HARD today. I started craving a strawberry cupcake with cream cheese frosting today. Literally I could not let the sun set on this day w/o having this food item. This is odd for 2 reasons: 1.) I hate cake and don't even like cupcakes that much. 2.) I don't bake. Like, ever. H was a love and started looking for them in the city but no such thing existed that we could find. So I went to the store and made this bad boy. I was like Kristen Wigg at the beginning of Bridesmaids making this one cupcake (don't be too impressed, this is the only one that looks like this).

MyDG620 · August 2016

I bought poptarts the other day at the grocery store and they were AMAZINNGGG! I haven't had them since I was 5 but I felt like I needed them and they did not disappoint

meq124 · August 2016

My cravings have suddenly gone from all the junk food to salad or fresh veggies with cottage cheese. Hopefully these cravings stick!

vino831 · August 2016

Some of you might have heard me talk about the fact that my fanily has been living with us for several months. They just left this morning. I was super torn that they were leaving. Happy to have my house back but then really upaet bc I'm going to miss them.

Then.... I woke up this morning wanting PB puffs cereal which I NEVER eat for breakfast. It's more like the occasional dessert for us.

Come down stairs after they left..... ALL of the PB puffs which i just bought a couple days ago....were gone. Empty box in the recycling bin.

You know what... I'm back to being happy to having my house back.

Ivorytower2 · August 2016

Mmmm nachos sounds good too! I went to Outback this weekend which started my baked potato obsession. At home I put shredded cheese and butter (melt it) and then add sour cream and maybe bacon pieces. Sooo gross and sooo good.

C25 · August 2016

I don't know how this is possible but I want salad and apples on a regular basis but I also salivate at the idea of a cheeseburger and fries. So I eat it all.

autumnsilence · August 2016

Honey Nut Cheerios and DQ Ice Cream. I have never eaten so much sweet stuff in my life!

Cbeanz · August 2016

I just ate the soggy half eaten chocolate chip cookie my 20-mo-old discarded on the kitchen counter after dinner.

jomarma · August 2016

I feel like I've made a turn in terms of food aversions, and I can finally eat food! I'm back to eating vegetables and some meat. I had a big Greek salad tonight, and I've been craving spicy V8. My naughty food cravings are sour candy. I bought James Harden sour Trolli beards from 7-11 and a Sour Patch Slurpee, so much shame...

disneybaby84 · August 2016

Watching the first Harry Potter, where Harry buys the candy trolley. Now I want gummy worms.

datalover13 · August 2016

Had a win moment today... I dropped my pizza lunchable on the floor in the lunchroom (and almost cried), but decided a Panera salad souned good after that so I treated myself, and it's delicious!
(I maybe bought extra bread too. It's all about balance, yall.)

jmacd22 · August 2016

Everything

firewife86 · August 2016

I have Mexi chicken in the crock pot for taco bowls later... it smells SO GOOD. Hopefully this baby let's me keep it in my belly!

msimpy11 · August 2016

I cannot get enough bagels covered in cream cheese (seriously, the bagel/cream cheese ratio is a little scary) to satisfy my craving. Also, give me all the orange juice! I had OJ with my spaghetti last night... my husband almost started gagging just thinking about the combo.

its probably just safe to say that I will not discriminate against any carbs at this point.

Finallyhismrs07 · August 2016

McDonalds Chicken nuggets and french fries is my lunch menu for today. I haven't had anything from McDonalds other than an ice cream cone and a small fry in years. But today....I HAD to have it!

Linds1083 · August 2016

Starting to be able to eat more real food this week (12). Baked potatoes, cottage cheese, peanut butter and jelly. Ate chicken 2x this week after not looking at meat in weeks!

Foersty · August 2016

I don't usually go out of my way for burgers, but I have had a serious hankering for a junior bacon cheeseburger all day, so I think that is going to have to happen for dinner!

Schumerator · August 2016

Slight AW: today I get to eat my favorite food, Mac and cheese, and feel zero guilt! We are going to a restaurant that solely focuses on different variations of Mac and cheese for my birthday and I am sooo excited! Probably more excited than any normal adult should be lol.

Spartanrd4 · August 2016

Omg I love mac and cheese!! Enjoy @Schumerator!

CanadianintheSouth · August 2016

One good thing about this MS is that some of the unhealthy foods I was craving (and then ate), are now off the table because I threw them up and now can't handle the thought of eating them again.

A sample of things I no longer will eat: poptarts, DQ ice cream cake, chocolate covered strawberries
