Went to the farmers market and got some Honey Crisp apples! Even though they’re more expensive than that other apples they are totally worth it! I now regret not getting the 1/2 bushel because I’m going to eat them all! Plus DH and the kids have already found them and started eating them too.
@booksandlace Pho sounds so good! It’s chilly out today, and there’s a place a block away from me that makes such a good bun bo hue. I think you solved my lunch dilemma...
We were watching the finale of MasterChef (no spoilers here) and one of the chefs made grits. I had to have grits... today I went grocery shopping and bought grits and made them for lunch. Mmmm.
@kbirchtree Ahhh grits are a great idea for pregnancy food! I'll have to wait for the next grocery trip, meanwhile I'll just be very jealously drooling over here.

They made my lunch hour nausea go away. I ate a huge serving. I made the sweet variety this time butter, salt, brown sugar (way too much brown sugar)
this is only the 2nd day since I got my positive that I've actually had any cravings for anything. earlier this morning, someone mentioned the great sonic/arby's merger (I live in the midwest, sonic is like a religious denomination around here) and I instantly craved arby's. then someone just mentioned hot pockets and now I'm craving those.
I haven't had either of those in years. I'm pretty sure the last hot pocket I ate was when I was in h.s.
All I want is sushi and I don't even usually like sushi. I got invited to a sushi farewell lunch on Friday and we have a new sushi chef in our cafeteria? I just don't know if I can bring myself to trust sushi from work and I didn't see anything down there cooked. Sigh. So I had some vegetarian superfood burrito thing instead.
@MRDCle California roll maybe? Or any veggie-only roll? Or go to a restaurant and get a tempura roll!
I feel like any still-in-the-closet pregnant lady could get away with pregnancy-safe orders by saying “I’ve never really eaten much sushi and raw fish is icky...this seems like safe intro sushi.”
@lyse01 sushi ordering at a work lunch is EXACTLY what made me think one of my coworkers was pregnant. I didn't say anything to her but after lunch she was like "Hey I wanna tell you something!" A couple of my coworkers know so I think that on Friday I will just order some veggie rolls and maybe something tempura.
There is a chicken and rice dish that has sounded good for the last couple days but DH hasn’t “been in the mood for chicken.” Grumpy butt. Well we are down to just chicken left in the freezer so that’s what we are having for dinner.
I just hope it still sounds good when I go to eat the darn thing.

@kbirchtree You must not be from the south! I think sweet grits might be an abomination down here, I can't ever get behind them. Butter and cheese and salt and pepper. Or shrimp and grits with plenty of old bay seasoning in a tomato cream sauce, mmmm.
@MRDCle I second veggie sushi, and tempura, YUM. Now I want sushi, badly.
@MRDCle, sushi is the one thing I have been craving THE MOST for the past 3 months!! sashimi, especially. I did indulge when I was pregnant w/ my first, but idk why I'm so conflicted about it this time. probably PGAL anxiety.
I went on a walk today and passed a gelato truck. But nobody was in it. Bummer. But it was meant to be, because I stopped at a deli for frozen yogurt and they had watermelon and french vanilla which I had swirled. And it was magical.
This was my whim purchase at the grocery store yesterday. Just ran in for some drinks... but they were by the register. 🙈 Paired with milk was a fantastic sweet treat! (Finally feel like eating sweets again.)
I craved Schlotzsky's deli today. It's a sandwich place up here and I am in LOVE with them. It was the best sandwich I've had in a long time (probably the craving talking). Sushi I had yesterday from the grocery store (it was on sale and it was cooked). I miss going to actual sushi places and getting the raw stuff though. Only way too many days to go.

Funny thing is... I was born in FL my mom was too and raised by Georgia parents and my dads parents are NC and he lived in FL too. They all like savory grits and I’ve a large sweet tooth and prefer sweet. My Grandmom always called me a “traitor and a Northerner” haha. The Black sheep I guess.
@angelob88 I had a mile-long (okay, like 14”) meatball grinder this weekend and it was heaven. I’m totally willing to drop $10 on it and another $4 on a cannoli every time I pass that place even though it’s not so cute on the inside. Better to spend money on quality ingredients than decor, I guess.
@kbirchtree I love it! My mom was raised in FL and my dad all over OK, FL, TX, GA, but they later moved to Chicago where I grew up. Now I live on the VA/NC border. So I'm Yankee born but a Southerner at heart? Your story makes me so happy, I love black sheep and now I guess I'll have to give sweet grits a try...
@thatbaintforbetty I'm with you, death to fruit right now. I can do apples and oranges, but have to eat them with fats and/or starches to avoid heartburn. How is that even possible? Veggies are now evil, except peppers and tomatoes (I guess this ones a fruit, but still).
@angelob88 Deli sandwiches are the best, though I've been trying to avoid lunch meat. But SO GOOD.
@sdelg09 I craved pancakes the other day. They made me sick, but they were definitely worth it!
Everything bagels with veggie cream cheese, queso dip & lemonade ... typically I’m very lactose intolerant so i haven’t eaten cream cheese or queso dip in yearssss ... not having any digestion issues knock on wood.
Eggs tho... can’t eat them, smell them, look at them... i used to eat an egg every morning and just typing this out makes me nauseas haha
I made chicken pot pie for dinner last night & have that for lunch today... it's the only thing I can think about right now!
a friend of mine just had her first baby & swears she had the ok by her doctor to eat deli meats. she said in america, she wasn't worried about listeria from deli meats. as much as I've been craving a deli sandwich from jimmy john's (or anywhere, for that matter), I'm holding back.
Had Taco Bell at the mall tonight. Im not even a huge Taco Bell person. I’d much rather have Wendy’s chicken nuggets tyvm. But it was prettt darn good.
@booksandlace I love pho! And bun as well. Sometimes I cheat and buy little packages to make my own in the grocery store (like noodle soup packaging but probably only in the Asian food section of the store).
@MRDCle another option is to get a veggie poke bowl! I had that the other day, so yummy!!
I was craving Cool Ranch Doritos so DH brought home a bag. One bag. One single serving bag. Do I send him back for more? They’re gone now and I wasn’t finished! Also, FWIW, I scratched that sushi itch a couple of weeks ago and it was so satisfying. I had been craving it for months. Did a little research and felt ok about my favourite reputable restaurant and the rest is history!
Pre-pregnancy I absolutely loved onion. It would go in any dish DH and I make. We both love onions. But before I knew I was pregnant, I couldn't tolerate onions anymore. I used to love French onion dip. I can't stand it anymore. At 14 weeks, I can have a decent amount now, but not as much as I used to. I wonder if my taste will ever change back. I also don't have any desire to eat mac & cheese anymore, maybe because I know it's not as healthy as other options. I used to be able to make a box and eat it all in one sitting by myself. Nope. Not anymore. At least I still like chicken nuggets. 😍

@lin0442 I wish we had chilly weather here but it's delicious regardless

My sweet tooth comes and goes, the thought of ice cream and all of these treats sound so amazing in theory, but then my stomach rebels....
