I've been sick, so a big ole pot of chicken noodle soup and a loaf of homemade bread has made me very happy.

meeks2020 · January 2018

@livinthesunnylife chicken noodle soup sounds like the only thing I could stomach right now. Instead I already have a roast cooking

. But really I'm eating bland food and as little as possible

Eta bc I put good instead of food

roadspeckle · January 2018

@meeks2020 bland good is really delicious!

meeks2020 · January 2018

@roadspeckle

freaking autocorrect again! I'm told you!

juliebird6 · January 2018

Today? Mozzarella sticks (grocery store whim - should never have gone hungry/nauseous) and a lean cuisine pizza. These lean cuisine pizzas are life for me right now.

Grilled ham and cheese!

legallykate · January 2018

I just had a homemade turkey burger (turkey burger patty, swiss cheese, 100 cal bun, and an admittedly gross amount of mayo) and baked cheetos. Still not doing so great nutrient wise but at least I am able to stomach protein again as opposed to just bread and cheese.

wifehacks · January 2018

Nausea + weird cravings have made my menu very narrow and specific! Saltines for breakfast, smoothie for lunch and thin toasted bread with a cream cheese spread PACKED with raw veggies for dinner. I CRAVE raw veggies all day (when I'm not feeling too pukey) - I suppose it could be worse! I do wish I could get some real protein (other than the smoothie) down.

@legallykate baked cheetos sound kid of amazing

Saw this while lurking the June board - looks like Consumer Reports recommends avoiding romaine lettuce right now due to recent E. coli outbreaks. This changes my dinner plans for tonight, so thought some of you may be interested too.

Pineapple and just had a bowl of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Greasy food is not my friend right now, so sticking with bagels and cereal for breakfast. I have to cook chicken tonight, and the idea is making me gag.

meeks2020 · January 2018

@juliebird6 I saw that too! Thank you for sharing it and reminding me!

aj1327 · January 2018

Chick fil A sandwich and fries for lunch. It was awesome!

lalala2004 · January 2018

I always love spinach ricotta roll ups or stuffed shells, but they are so time consuming! I found a penne version where you just mix it all together. So much easier and delicious! DS has eaten it three days in a row and I’m pretty sure he has no idea he is eating spinach. #winning

Here’s the recipe in case anyone else wants to try it: https://pin.it/wkpe6ymjka3xep

eta: I just used store bought sauce.

LC12261012 · January 2018

Pancakes! I’ve had them every morning for the past three days. I’m very sad to see that romaine should be avoided right now, I’ve been really feeling Caesar salads

aj1327 · January 2018

Me too with the ceaser salad @LC12261012. I haven’t had one but I have wanted one. DH brought home grilled fish tacos and they had Romaine on the top

izmom28 · January 2018

Pasta!!! And I want ice cream right now, but I’m scared it will make me nauseous

7425cait · January 2018

^ do it! I had some this afternoon, and it satisfied my soul.

izmom28 · January 2018

I am. With whipped cream. So good

meeks2020 · January 2018

With all of the food talk on the board today I wish food sounded good

Firemanswife11 · January 2018

I ate a huge salad with romaine last night and so far so good.

juliebird6 · January 2018

Zesty Ranch Veggie Straws. Do it.

vinerie · January 2018

all the clementines and grapefruit as citrus is like the nectar of the gods to me right now.

And then easily-digestible things. I don't know if this is real or all in my head, but lately a lot of food seems unappetizing to me. But I'm not nauseous. It's more just like a lot of food doesn't seem to be enjoyable to eat. I made dinner last night and then didn't touch it and ate cheerios. My husband was raving about what I cooked, too. weird.

lakesideknitter · January 2018

@vinerie same. Carbs are starting to be appetizing again. Last night I had a bowl of cheese tortellini and then a giant piece of warm naan covered in honey butter.

jsnakehole · January 2018

My appetite is back! Still for only carbs and cheese, but whatev. I had American cheese melted on a bagel for lunch and I'm having a cheese quesadilla for dinner. Pretty happy with my life choices.

scottishlass1213 · January 2018

Hubby is picking up pizza and mozzarella sticks tonight. I can’t remember last time I had a mozzarella stick but I want them!

travelheart · January 2018

I'm with @vinerie all of the clementines and citrus! Mostly just plain ol strong opinions on what I want and when. HAD to have pasta for lunch - now it sounds terrible.

ladygali · January 2018

I’m up with insomnia and just ate leftover mac and cheese and a pear. I’m starving for the first time in DAYS and it apparently has to happen at 1 am.

Mkrosieo · January 2018

I make poor life choices. But I did enjoy eating it! Neapolitan ice cream, chocolate syrup and banana. So delicious! Paying for it now

aj1327 · January 2018

@ladygali I woke up starving at 2 am and ate a giant bowl of cheerios so you’re not alone!

ladygali · January 2018

@amac12999 lol! While I was sitting there in the dark, I wrote down cereal and milk on my grocery list

I just keep adding cravings as they hit.

lakesideknitter · January 2018

@ladygali all I can think about now is macaroni and cheese.

ladygali · January 2018

@lakesideknitter DOOOO IIITTTT!!!

aj1327 · January 2018

Somewhere (maybe here) someone posted about Taco Bell and I’ve wanted a crunchy taco from there ever since. I haven’t had Taco Bell in years.

izmom28 · January 2018

Leftover gold finger wings from the 99. It’s only 9:45am

pghctwife · January 2018

I’m having a carnation in bed in the morning. Bfast depends on how I feel... today I felt terrible and had no time (815 b-ball for my oldest). By the time I was home the nausea had passed and I was just hungry so I could eat eggs and 1/2 bagel. Some mornings when I just feel so so I have a bowl of special
k, then a snack later.

Lunch and dinner are mostly normal but definitely craving raw veggies esp celery.

I usually like a bedtime snack but lately it’s bothering my stomach through the night so time to cut that.

Im also finding when I really pound the water in the afternoons it helps my ms.

pghctwife · January 2018

I’m really craving greasy fried apps. Maybe a Reuben (not something I like usually) the tang is really appealing.

ssthomps · January 2018

Orange juice has been my best friend. I can’t remember who posted about drinking really cold orange juice when feeling naseous. Who ever it was, thank you, it has been a life saver. As far as food goes I think I want it and then I get it and I no longer want it. I envy you ladies who are able to actually eat decent food.

brzvice · January 2018

@ssthomps I'm envious of gals with veggie and meat cravings too. I know my body could really use both. Hopefully our diets can balance out more come 2nd trimester.

Btw I definitely will have to try the OJ for nausea

ladygali · January 2018

I was reading the Symptoms thread this morning and someone posted about Carnation Instant Breakfast, so naturally I’ve been singing the old commercial jingle from the 80s or 90s and it’s been added to my grocery list

laurad75 · January 2018

I am hungry but nothing sounds good to me. I’m living off of yogurt and cereal. But now I want Mac and cheese.
