Let's talk food

Lately, I'm craving cheeseburgers, french fries, and bbqued rib eye steak with a baked potato. It just tastes better than ever! :lol:

I have also found that when I am craving something really bad, that it just tastes heavenly. LOL! I don't remember this happening so much with my other pregnancies. It's like the food has been greatly enhanced or something, lol! I guess that's mother nature's way of getting us to eat more during pregnancy.

What are you craving?

 

I craved cheesecake with both of my pregnancies.

 

Sweets and jalapenos - not together, but alternating... really weird because normally I don't like sweets at all! I am much more a chip-person!

 

At the beginning of the pregnancy I wanted mac n' cheese and hamburger all the time! I probably ate mac n' cheese almost everyday for a couple months. Also, I usually have a horrible sweet tooth but I really didn't want any of that kind of stuff and I didn't touch chocolate for a few months. That would've been great if the aversion to sweets would've lasted but sadly it came back again a few months ago. I have been craving fruit off and on. Fresh pineapple and watermelon especially.

 

The only thing I really truly crave is Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch!! LOL I just can't get enough of it and I have to have it EVERY day. When I was first pregnant I craved Cheerios with Bananas. I suppose at least cereal isn't horrible for you. I am starting to crave more sweet stuff and it does taste SO good when I allow myself a little.

 

My cravings could be generalised as junk in the first trimester, fruit in the second. Early cravings included coca cola, cheeseburgers, mac and cheese, fries ... i even found myself going into a - gasp! - McDonald's which is very unlike me! I was also very open to suggestion; flicking through a magazine I would see an ad for something I never ate usually but would have to go get it right there and then. For example, Twins08 has just given me a craving for a baked potato. At least now I know what I'm having for lunch!

 

LOL, cravings are so funny to me. I totally understand the need to have something RIGHT NOW when you have that craving.

I'm also getting a sweet tooth for desserts lately. It usually HAS to be something with chocolate in it. Chocolate ice cream has been tasting better than ever. :lol:

 

I also had a huge craving for baked potatoes during my first trimester... to the point that we went to Outback and, even though I had such morning sickness, I ordered just a baked potato. It tasted sooo good. I guess I needed some kind of nutrient from that potato.

The other craving that I have had has been caramel. Don't know why.

And that cheesecake the pp listed... well, that sounds yummy too.

 

PIZZA :lol: ........that melted gooey cheese, just makes my mouth water and I have to have it, no matter what time of day or night it is. I had craving for cheese and chocolate with my first pregnancy .
I crave chocolate even now, but the mere smell of chocolate gives me severe migranes :cray: . So I am off chocolate completely, because I cant handle a migrane on top of all the aches and pains. :wacko:
I hope I can a chocolate icecream........ someday :unsure:

now i'm hungry

 

Steak.

 

Its a good thing that we don't have food network or as my fiance calls it "the hungry channel!" I watched it all the time with my son and got a lot of my cravings just from watching.

Lets see, yesterday was Pad Thai and the day before that was a big greek salad and a chicken slouvaki pita (my fiance went out at 1 am to get it for me!)
Now that we are back from the city I'm back into settling for watermelon, pineapple, mac'n cheese.

Bake potato sounds lovely, that's what I'm calling for dinner!

 

Cereal, mac 'n cheese, pizza, but most of all SLURPEES!

I already gave birth to my twin boys but love to come here and reminisce a little, even though i am LOVIN being a mom!

Congrats to ALL of you!!
and take in every moment, no matter how awkward, ill or uncomfortable...you will miss it, as weird as it may sound to many of you right now.

My huge craving was PANCAKES too like pp.mmmm Also Mexican food(specifically chicken soft tacos with the tomatillo salsa, peppers and onions, lots of lettuce, a little sour cream and guac from Chipotle!!!) and Italian food! Pasta and fattening sauces. oh no!

 

What am I not craving!! I am so weird, my cravings change from day to day. One day I love something like snowcones or cheeseballs and the next day I don't even want to look at them. In the begininng I was craving carbs like crazy esp. mashed potatoes, crackers, and toast

 

I craved salad my entire pregnancy. I could not get enough of it. I think I ate it atleast once a day.

 

I also keep craving raw fruits and veggies . . . Sweets always sound good and then they leave a bad taste in my mouth. No fair!
