Honestly, I am eating pretty normal, nothing super crazy or super frequent besides having to nosh on things in the middle of the night if I wake up hungry.
I had a really good Meditteranean bowl last night for dinner though.
No food cravings here. Last night we had a mesquite turkey breast with gnocchi macaroni & cheese. MS is still happening, but my meds seem to be controlling it better as long as I take them.
I bought white grape juice for DS last weekend, and I’m drinking it! It’s my new replacement for pop. I’m also liking chocolate milk when I want something sweet.
Despite being terribly sick, I managed to make a thai dish--chicken and green beans in a peanut sauce -- for dinner last night. I thought DS would like it because he loves peanut butter, but he did not care for it. I REALLY want some really tom yum soup for dinner or lunch today to just clear my sinuses the old fashioned way, by eating something spicy, haha.
Breakfast was an english muffin and some tea.
No real cravings, but not much of an appetite due to being sick.
I want dumplings, Italian subs, and brownies. All day, every day. Last night we had ribs with Mac and cheese and salad. Tonight I'm hoping we'll eat Chinese. I'll settle for Chipotle.
Total rant: So we've been really good lately about making breakfasts and lunches at home so we don't buy fast food lately. Eating healthier, saving money blah blah boring. So last night my insomnia woke me up at 3 so I went to the kitchen because obviously I'm waking up because I'm hungry and DH had left the door to the fridge open all night. So we had to throw away all the prepped food plus all the dairy and meat stuff... grumble.
So it's Mc D's for breakfast, probably either cafeteria here or salad bar down the street for lunch. Plus Cheez-its.
Last night I made alfredo chicken stuffed shells and they hit the spot! Im finding I have to eat a heavier dinner or more at dinner time in order to not get sick the next morning. If I wake up too hungry the nausea hits despite taking my b6 and unisom. I'm 16 wks so I was really hoping it would be gone by now but oh well!
chick fil a is always a craving, and I weirdly craved lucky charms this morning. Another super funny thing is normally I LOVE Starbucks and never go elsewhere, and with this pregnancy I swear all I like is Petes coffee!
I just remembered I got a donut with my starbucks mobile order this morning and it's still sitting in my bag. This is the best news I've gotten in a while.
I'm really craving mashed potatoes and gravy with corn lately. Neither of which I can realistically have.
Otherwise, I'm eating fairly normal healthy-ish foods. Today so far has been oatmeal for breakfast, a handful of strawberries, turkey lunch meat, and a cup of black tea.
I struggle for "lunch", I normally eat a late breakfast and then an early dinner, so I'm not really hungry at a typical lunch time. Plus I'm a horrible snacker. Snacks often turn into full blown meals, so I tend to skip them entirely which is probably bad, but eh.
I had Chik Fil A for lunch again today. I apparently have a problem.
I was SO good about bring breakfast and lunch, meal prepping, etc. I had lost some weight over the past 1.5 years, and we were saving to buy a house, so I got really good at planning and everything. Now the last thing I want is what I prep on Sundays. I always find an excuse not to eat it and I'm just pissing money away every day on food. Ugh. I need to start making better choices.
My mom made a huge pan of what she calls Million dollar Spaghetti before she left this week. I had some for lunch, it was magical. Its like if lasagna and spaghetti made a baby and cream cheese and cottage cheese were involved. Delicious.
@juliebird6 She added spinach (cause I gotta use every attempt to get DS to eat a veggie!) and made it with italian sausage. It was awesome. Even my little picky eater was chowing down.
DH is picking up Freebirds tonight and I’m way more excited than I should be.
Hmm now I really want Freebirds. Their BBQ sauce is my everything. I bet I can talk DH into it because we had planned on doing pork tenderloin and he is not a big fan of that.

I'm currently eating dill pickle flavored chips because the cravings for pickles is nonstop. If I had some mustard, I would be putting it on the chips.
Jimmy John's is life right now. I'm gross and take a bite of my Country Club and then add a jalapeno Jimmy chip to add crunch and spice. So delicious together. I don't do this in front of people tho.

Turkey and strawberries for breakfast. Lunch is either going to be a toasted bagel with cream cheese, or chicken nuggets and all the mustard. I can't decide.
I'm on a Jimmy John's kick now too. Also loving pickles and mustard.
I also *gasp* have had a serious Kool aid craving that is insatiable until I try all the flavors. Good thing I don't have to get the dental x-rays while PG because I definitely don't want to explain how I need all the childhood things when KU.
@lakesideknitter That's the only way my DH will eat his sandwiches (any and all sandwiches/subs). He has to have jalapeno kettle chips and adds one to each bite!
Mashed potatoes and gravy for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Since feeling a bit better I’ve been trying to make spinach salads with hard boiled egg and balsamic vinaigrette for lunch (since dr told me I’m anemic)
DS born 04/22/15, Pregnant again 03/01/17 however loss due to PPROM at 20+6 weeks now TTC rainbow
I just ate two baked potatoes for lunch and it was the best thing ever. Next Tuesday I’m trying the $5.99 steak and potato dinner at this little bar nearby and DH is making fun of me. Whatever, dude. Take me to an actual steak house if you don’t want me going there.
Also, I’ve always put chips on my sandwiches. It’s just delicious with the extra crunch!
