I made a chicken, corn and potato chowder that was pretty good. I tweaked it, of course, but all in all good flavor. Next time I'm going to use a different protein though, as even though I used thigh meat you couldn't really discern and chicken flavor lol. I'm thinking sausage or hamburg might add more punch, or even steak mmmm.
My latest craving has been chips ahoy cookies and milk. DH is fully aware of this and had bought our most recent package of cookies at my request.
Soooo... this morning, I grabbed a cookie before leaving and there were half a dozen left. Enough to last through the day and then some, right? Later, I arrive home after a long ass day at work and there is ONE LEFT. DH had left for work 30 minutes prior and won't be home until midnight.
I'm enacting revenge by drinking the rest of his beloved 2% milk to down the one cookie he left me. He's not going to realize this until tomorrow morning at breakfast and will be forced to pour the skim milk he hates onto his cereal. MWAHAHA.
Burritos, I'm surprised the place across from my job doesn't recognize my voice yet lol.
@dubcompanion that is hilarious and petty and I love it!
DH just texted back, extremely apologetic. I told him I drank his milk, and he's like "That's okay. 2% milk will help our baby come out all nice and plump!" Granted, now he knows to pick up more of his milk for tomorrow. But he'll also buy me another package of cookies and label it with my name, so he remembers they're off limits!
I havent had that battle this pregnancy with DH, but I remember the rage last time around whenever I discovered he had eaten something I craved only to find it had dissapewrrd!
@kjd291 Yaaaaas! My DH has never gotten upset over food, but I was a hangry person even before pregnancy. That was part of my disbelief when he'd eaten most of my remaining cookies. He knows better; I've been training him for over 10 years!
My obsession with citrus continues. It has been raging this entire pregnancy. Grapefruits, water with LOTS of lemon, oranges, tangerines and more grapefruit. Fresh squeezed citrus juices. Just no lime. Lime makes me want to vomit.
Making chicken and dumplings tonight that I'm super excited about. Been on more of a sweets kick lately. But still love my salt. And carbs. Trying to start curbing things a bit before my GD test on the 14th.

Mini frozen pancakes! microwave them and they are heaven! also twisted onion (broken up blooming onion but so much better). I'm typically not a huge onion fan but I can't get enough. Dip it in Chipotle sauce and it's to die for.
got a salad from chick fil a today and came across the most amazing sauce ever. Avacado lime ranch (ok so not the healthiest but still!) it's the best thing I've ever tasted. I want it on all of my sandwiches for the rest of my life! besides pb&j ...
I tried a new yogurt called greek gods chocolate cherry yogurt. OMG sooooo good. It's my new go to dessert! (sorry ben & jerry but momma's trying to eat slightly better )
@mcdonald-bailey Delish is just as dangerous as Pinterest. Where I ran across a dark chocolate peanut butter and marshmallow fluff grilled sandwich I had to make.

Last week I reverted to first trimester nausea so nothing sounded good and I was STARVING! This week I'm back to normal and I can't get enough peppermint Oreo shakes
GOAT CHEESE!! Specifically, goat cheese on crostini with honey and cracked black pepper on top. It popped into my head yesterday and it's my new favorite thing. This little dude has wanted cheese the *entire* pregnancy.

@ngcsugirl1112 ohhh I'm going to try that shake. I normally eat very healthy during the week because hubby meal preps for us but on the weekends I usually have burritos or tacos so I can relate. Hubby is actually Mexican so it's not surprising.
@UnicornsPlease Goats cheese sounds ah-mazing right now. It's snowing, and im housebound for the day... my fridge only has things that look unappealing to my senses. Hmmm.
And, this board convo always makes me sad that I dont have a chic-fil-A around here. Someone should right this pregnancy injustice and build me one pronto.
@kjd291 chik fil a has an amazing franchise program.. i say open your own!
I have totally brought this up to DH before!!! ...he doesn't take me seriously. Probably because the only time I bring it up is when I'm having a hormonal hankering for a yummy chicken sandwich. Haha.
I have not wanted sweets for most of my pregnancy, but my aunt made needhams the other day, and it's all I can think about...I may be hoarding a gallon sized zip lock bag of them in the back of my freezer so no one can find them and eat them on me.....
I forget the exact history--believe was created here in Maine in the 1800s! They are chocolate candies, filled with shredded coconut and shredded potato. Basically a homemade mounds bar--but mixed with potato too. Can't really taste the potato-but makes it less crazy sweet and great texture. So. Good. Ughhh. Now I want some.
mmmm sign me up! I have my grandma's old cookbook so I'm looking for an obscure old fashioned cooky (as it's spelled in the book which actually makes a lot of sense) to throw into my mix. Although it's not 1800's old haha
I just started reading this thread and now my turkey sandwich does not sound good for lunch!! I want some mexican food or a chicken sandwich.
I've pretty much only craved sugar lately. I want cookies or chocolate pie (has to have cookie crust, not traditional crust) ALL THE TIME. I have to tone it down before my glucose test on Monday
I wish I craved things like fruit and veggies.

I couldn't decide what I wanted for dinner tonight and the only thing appealing to me was the mint chocolate chip ice cream calling my name from the freezer. So yep, I definitely just ate half the carton. So much for my reduced sugar goal lol at least it was reduced fat...

Looking forward to some steak & brussel sprouts tonight!

It's from this Japanese-Mexican fusion place up the road from us. So good!
