What are you eating?

What are you eating? Tonight was spinach salad with sliced almonds, some cheese crumbles, and chicken breast with a sweet vinaigrette. With DD, I ate spinach salad with mango, chicken, and cottage cheese a lot.

I had pork chops, some eggplant and some strawberries.  I'm debating some stir fried green beans. I already ate 1 mess, and it's tasty... the kitchen just feels so far away right now.  I'm a huge fan of cottage cheese too.  Yummy with jello for a sweet and salty combe.

Chicken quesadillas last night. I've actually been eating a lot of pineapple and craving turkey bacon. Green veggies really appeal right now, which is perfect, since I happen to have lots of baby spinach, green beans and sprouts in the fridge.

I've been eating A LOT of caprese salads....I bought a big container of fresh mozarella pearls at Costco and I have lots of fresh tomatoes and basil in the garden

Yesterday I went to SoupPlantation for lunch and I was starving and it just made me sooo happy!  (it's all-you-can-eat soup, salad, bread).

Of course, for breakfast today I had 2 bacon egg and cheese biscuits from McDonald's

My mid-afternoon snack/homework break today includes celery and some honey peanut butter. YUM!

[Milk8shake]

I did a bit of a cook up on the weekend, and made lentil curry, vegie soup, and cauliflower soup (I'm vegetarian, if you're wondering!)

I've also been having heaps of mandarins - yum

Now, I'm really, really craving chili.  I think I might have to make mexican type chili dish of some description.

reading this thread makes me hungry! hahaha.

A lot of easy meals since I was taking it easy during my bleeding. Then we went out for our anniv, and we also went to a wedding, and a friend brought us a meal! Today was the first day in like a week that I cooked. Or should I say dh bbq'd some chicken. Definitely going to get back on the real-food band wagon.

Tacos are positively delicious right now. In the beginning I was really craving a lot of fruit and beans, but now I just eat whatever doesn't make me want to heave. With the exception of refined sugar as I've cut it from my diet as much as possible. I have a huge sweet tooth though, so it's so hard.

[GrowingPeaPod]

No real cravings yet. Just really trying to focus on eating balanced meals, I tend to go on like a veggie kick for a couple of days so DH and I are going to meal plan out dinners and I am working on taking a balanced lunch to work. With DS I craved salad's and apples so curious what if any consistent cravings I have this time. Ate broccoli and pork chops with mac and cheese tonight and had to get seconds on the broccoli. Surprisingly its not been as hard to cut out caffeine as I thought it would be. Not finding myself even missing it much.

I have lasagna warming up for lunch (left over dinner).  I actually did notice a crazy increase in appetite recently and distinctly remember thinking I need to stop eating like this.  I'm not pg, I'm barely nursing, this can't be healthy.

I made baked salmon patties tonight and ate them on a bun with a slice of cheese, some leaf lettuce and some homemade tartar sauce.  (just mixed up some mayo, lemon juice, and dill relish, lol.)

That sounds yummy. 

I have chicken breasts with my homemade peach bbq sauce in the crockpot and it smells really good.  We're just having baked potatoes and probably caprese salad (again, lol).  I really want some sauteed kale--I have kale in the garden right now but I just do not have the energy to go out an pick it and cook it.  sad!

We went out for Vietnamese food tonight. Yum! Steamed rice with charbroiled pork, a spring roll, and shredded cabbage, carrots, and cilantro with fish sauce. We had some pork crepes, too. Only problem is that I'm famished every two hours for some reason.

[amycorinne]

I am going to have a big salad with pico de gallo on it.

I told my hubby this morning would be my last cup of coffee til after at least first trimester.  :(  kind of regretting saying that now.  Though I guess there's always tea.

We're working on cleaning the cupboards out as we're moving soon.  I have a big bowl of radishes, turnips and beets in the fridge.  Never roasted a radish before but I think i might throw them all together with oil and roast them tonight.  fingers crossed!

Myself and DS are vegan, DH is by association.

We just got done making about a gallon of salsa to lacto-ferment for DD's birthday party next week. For some reason salsa sounds gross, but the chips are appealing. That reminded me though that I have lacto-fermented ginger carrots, and those are great for sick tummies. So easy to make, and it stores forever. Bonus - you get lots of probiotics in the food, too.

I made a big pot of veggie bean chili like I was craving.  It was soooooo good.  The next day, I couldn't even look at it. 

I want something, and then I don't want it.  I'm hungry all the time, but I never know what I want.

Today I am just cooking a bunch of roast veggie.  Not exactly healthy, but better than nothing, and pretty sure I can stomach it.

I have the same problem! Sometimes I cook something and by the time I finish cooking, I can't stand the smell of it!

I feel like that is every meal! I am soooo hungry all the time, but almost nothing sounds really appealing. Last night we made grill-fired pizzas with lots of veggies and a little prosciutto, made mozzarella from scratch too. So much fun! Though it is supposed to take 1 hour, took us 3. *blush* We don't own a microwave so we had to make a late night trip, mozzarella pot in hand to a cousin's house. Hilarity ensued. (Hello tangent, nice to meet you.)

Luckily one of my first preggo symptoms seems to be that I stop craving coffee, so it has been an easy transition away from it for me. Water, water, water. Have never been thirstier in my life!
