We end up getting pretty high-quality eggs, so I'm comfortable doing that while pregnant since I think it makes a difference. Depends on how you really feel about it. 
Fruit-wise, we get some great apples and pears from some nearby orchards that I've been eating a lot, they'll sell them year-round. We tend to indulge on any good deals on berries during the winter (dh craves those during winter too, mostly blackberries) or mangos. And, though they're not seasonal, I'll pick up watermelon or grapes when I can since it's sometimes a struggle for me to get enough water in - at least those are pretty water-heavy. Oh, and adding limes and lemon to anything they'd be good with (I've actually not done well eating other citrus this pregnancy, so I'm missing the tasty grapefruits & etc lately). |
I too eat eggs with the yolks undercooked. I read long ago that they're better for you that way. I also trust the eggs I'm eating as they come from a local farm.
As for food, I've been making a farro salad once a week and eating that for lunch. All are organic:
-farro tossed with chopped red peppers, cucumbers, red onion, celery, carrots, olive oil, balsalmic, lemon, and cubed cheese
I make chili because I want red meat but I can't get a steak down. So it's ground grass fed beef, kidney beans, black beans, corn, I use a jar of hot organic salsa, and two jars of organic crushed tomatoes.
I try to eat steamed greens twice a week- mustard, collard, kale and broccoli twice a week, salad daily, cheese daily, yogurt or kefir daily, eggplant twice a week, green beans...
I try to keep it varied.
