What I’m Eating - meal/craving check-in

I’m a huge foodie, and I thought it would be fun to have a place where we can talk all about food, exchange recipes, and complain about cravings!
Tonight’s dinner is beef stroganoff, made with chicken stock because pregnancy brain.

Pizza for dinner tonight.
Carbs. Carbs. Carbs. Nom nom.
Considering i I had a complete aversion to all food for awhile it’s whatever I can actually eat right now.

This is is the first week my appetite is finally back. We had chicken enchiladas tonight
Really looking forward to being less food averse at some point hopefully.
Other than that, my mom mentioned Wendy's today and now all I want is a chocolate frosty and fries to dip in it.
I just want to eat.

I had the worst craving for a burrito last night... got it, got home, started eating it, and couldn't finish it. Yet if I go too long without eating, my stomach acts like it's trying to absorb itself it's so hungry. Ugh.
Last time I really only had an aversion to eggs so this whole I can barely eat anything is just depressing. And annoying. And only making my heartburn a bigger problem.

cheese on a wrap with tomatoes. I made DH
go to
the store one night to get the stuff to make it.
@professormama I only eat cereal when pregnant!
ibe been eating so much this week because I’m at a work conference and we’ve been going to
two receptions an evening. What haven’t I been eating is the better question.

Breakfast I can still do my fried egg on toast, for which I'm grateful. Cereal or fruit as snack. Caprese salads and plenty of baby bell cheeses w/apple slices. Not into a lot of carbs, or at least not anymore than usual. Boiled eggs, egg salad, tuna salad (the good tuna, only once a week or less), salmon salad are my favorites.
PIZZA!! I agree with you all there, it's the best. I started having trouble with all that cheese though.
@wildcosmiclove Yes to stuffed olives and pickles. I eat both of these like it's going out of style, had a half jar of pickles the other day for a snack.
I have to eat every 2 hrs, and I'm never hungry until I put food in my mouth. I just want my normal appetite back!
I've definitely been an awful cook lately, my poor kid's diet has suffered too. Usually DH cooks dinners since I'm working, but since I haven't been grocery shopping much either, he's been resorting to feeding our kid whatever we have on hand. Needless to say, I need to either make myself grocery shop or tell DH he's got to pick up the slack if he wants protein (I'm also vegetarian and they're both carnivores... I may also have been neglecting to buy raw meat since it's grossing me out lately).
ETA: so the foods I have been able to eat are frozen pizza, chicken enchilada soup from Chili's, scrambled eggs (only one night and I put bacon salt on them). I eat fine during the day but then at night, it's game over.
My appetite is on and off. I am managing to eat enough food, but sometimes I’m just choking stuff down. Fruit is sitting very well with my system, especially any type of frozen fruit.
@mrstmoose I am basically vegan during the first trimester. Meat/eggs/cheese all make me soooo sick. Normally I love all of it but I just can't right now.
Carbs are the only thing that really sound good, but even most of those make me nauseous after I eat them anyway...at least I can get them down, though!
Cold stuff is the only thing that I'm having an ok time with, like fruit or veggies with dip, plus smoothies are great but I'm too lazy to go out and get them most of the time so it's only when I don't feel too bad sending H out (bless his heart, he's actually a doll about offering). My appetite comes and goes, but today I'm hungry and I'm currently heating up a secret Ellio's pizza while H goes to 16 Handles to get me a smoothie
@kitkat8387 yes to pb&j sandwhiches. I think they are my go to pregnancy meal.
@sheepshepherdess I was like that around that time (I’m almost 11 week now). Stay hydrated and nibble on things throughout the day. I find the longer I go without eating the worse my nausea gets. Some days I only eat crackers, grapes, and peanut butter toast. On my good days I try to get more protein and veggies in.
Long story short, I now have cinnamon buns in my oven.
Also the Pinterest rabbit hole is one of my favorite places to go when I can’t sleep lol
I think im going to become a soup-atarian for the rest of this trimester... it’s the only way I can stomach vegetables or proteins.
@MRDCle, I've had that twice now in the past week. Tomatoes count as a veggie, right?
