Limeade, crossaints and chocolate chip cookies for the past 12 hours....it's all I want, and is actually helping my m/s. So strange. I'm usually a very clean eater - this is kind of gross!

Reminds me a lot of my 1st full pregnancy, limeade... I think I am going to get that one in my head now...... I also had a sudden desire for bologna and hot dogs which I hated before DD (that was how I knew I was pregnant 100%) - and if either of those is around I am all over it, but I am trying not to eat them as much as last time.

Normally I prefer whole foods....

lol! I've been wanting croissants (with lots and lots and lots of extra butter ) and chocolate chip cookies as well. No substitutions will do! Since we haven't been eating grains for a while I'm battling with myself a little but really, I'm definitely buying some next time I'm at the farmer's market in a few days. Oooh, can't wait . They make the best croissants and cookies and I know what all four ingredients are so, win! Getting some shortbread too b/c, as I've mentioned, their baked goods are awesome .

I've been eating a whole lot of meat, much more than I'd care to, but it really squashes the MS. Normally we like and eat meat so it's not like I was vegan or anything before but it's starting to kind of gross me out the amount of meat I'm eating. It's a good thing I want tons of veggies too!

Blech, I don't want anything I've been eating for the past few months (soups, salmon, squash, greens, chicken, etc. and so on) right now. Tomorrow I'm getting peanut butter and spreading it aaaalllll over these coconut flour banana muffins I made tonight. Plus, I've got a can of Bush's original baked beans that I'm about to go to town on . Plan on making cornbread in the next few days . Haven't had any of these things in forever but this is what sounds good right now. So be it!

[amlikam]

I have been craving hashbronws and peanut butter and jelly- they other day I really wanted onion and mushroom pizza. DH is delighted my healthy eating has been put to the curb for now! (I am trying... but much like my previous pregnancies somethings I can't even look at- like butternut anything... which is (was?) one of my favorite squashes!)

[mamacatsbaby]

Yes amlikam, exactly! And right now I think I'm going to head to the store and see what looks like it won't offend me . I don't want to cook for my family at all. I have no inspiration since so much stuff looks so blah . Think I'm going to go with a slight variation on your hashbrown suggestion and get some frozen fries and stick 'em in the oven .

I got the stuff to make cornbread and now I don't want it anymore .

Give me food ideas ladies! I'm losing the aversion battle .

Im craving really buttery grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato & lots of salt for like every meal!

[Valkyrie89]

Ooh fun! Cravings before I POS: summer sausage and cheese. Apples dipped in caramel.

After I POS I have very strong morning sickness and still do, but I had a small break and was craving bacon, jalapeño grilled cheese! Made them, rocked! Now the thought makes me sick.

All I want now is diner food or taco bell :/ not very healthy! Oh and my MIL's mole! Mmm. Mexican food I'm general. I'm turned off by sweets which is typically my weakness, except I do crave milk shakes. And living ginger ale with frozen peach slices atm!

I've been craving DILL.  Anything dill.  Mash potatoes with fresh dill.... dill pickles....  Old Dutch Dill Pickle chips!!

I've been craving french fries and pad thai.  Not together but at different times.  So strange how my tastebuds have changed.  I used to love extra sharp cheddar cheese but it tastes so sour now.  Also, honeycrisp apples don't taste nearly as sweet and they have always been my favorite.

Not that I doubt your changing taste buds... but I think that honeycrisps have actually changed this year. They are my hubby's fav food in the whole world, but this year aren't near as crisp and sweet. According to the local fruit-guy, there are some honeycrisp hybrids that have a better shelf life that are on the market this year and being called honeycrisps (but are actually called Sweet Tangos).....

MMMM french fries...... might have to sneak out tonight and get some :)

[SweetMama34]

Pickles! I'm not kidding! Anything pickled, vinegary or spicy - YUM. It's pretty much the only way I can gag anything down anymore...but putting pepperocinis on it, or dousing it in mustard or vinegar. Killer for my heartburn, though.

Still really struggling to eat the same meal twice - and if I have to prepare it? Gag. I'm living off of Subway, restaurant food and crap.

Today I'm craving pizza or pizza rolls. OMG I can't stop thinking about it. SHUT UP, BRAIN. I might cave tonight and have a thin-crust pizza, but load it up with veggies to balance out the junk-foodiness. Yes, I think that's now my plan.

I'm also still craving granny smith apples, which I'm trying to indulge as much as possible.

I was hankering for spinach-artichoke dip and had some a few days ago, but now the thought makes me want to hurl.

[Sweet Huck]

Bloody Mary Mix.

Mexican Food.

Pickled peppers!!!

Sour patch kids.

[mamacatsbaby]

Hmmm, mashed potatoes with a metric crapton of butter sounds good. Half dill, half plain. Yes, I think that will work. Just got some applewood bacon and some ham the other day as they're the only meats that don't make me cringe right now. I'm sure after I have them I'll feel otherwise . Cheese has become my foe which is a shame. I love cheddar, and a good sharp one too! Now, the grilled cheese sounds good, really buttery and crispy, maybe with some bacon on it . The problem? I can only see putting American cheese on it . To me that's just beyond disgusting. I can't friggin' stand American cheese and haven't eaten it since I was a kid. Omg, so nasty...

I had some pizza rolls last night, sort of. I cracked 'em open and just ate the middle . I also had Lay's plain potato chips which I also dislike (ate these as a kid) b/c they're so greasy and salty and lacking in flavor. Apparently not right now! What looks appealing to me right now is seriously disgusting me. This pregnancy is so effing bizarre!

Know what I just got through eating? A bowl of dill pickle chips smothered in unsweetened fruit punch Kool-Aid. There's not enough puke smilies in the world to cover that one . I used to eat this as a kid though. Oh for cripes sake, my mouth is watering thinking about getting another bowl of pickles . WTF?!

[Sweet Huck]

Oh my.  Reading through everyone's posts I just want to EAT EVERYTHING.

Pardon me while I go empty the contents of my fridge into my stomach.

[dayiscoming2006]

Dill potatoes with sour cream and butter sounds good. I noticed someone mentioning that above. LOL

I LOVE dill pickles while pregnant. (they are also pretty good when not) I have to pick the natural ones. Thankfully, walmart started carrying vlassic natural pickles or something like that. I'm sure there might be some odd thing in them, but they are way better than the yellow number 5 and blue number 2 pickles. Yuck! I tried to eat the organic dills from whole foods (were good before), but the last jars I bought had squishy pickles and that is gross...

[littlegreenlady]

Yes thank you!!!! I though I was loosing my mind. I was actually crying to my husband today, because I was hungry and queazy and soooooooo frustrated. I ended up having grilled cheese with tomatoes and avocados oh and then some pancakes. I can't eat the same thing twice, all my favorite things seem to gross me out. I can't even handle people saying "onion" without getting sick (I used to put them in nearly everything). But honestly what is killing me is that everyday my previously healthy food choices are fading away into some unreachable haze. Why is my body asking for crappy food? Is eating this way just making it worse? I can't not eat, but how many nutrients can I really get from constant bread and cheese? We never had sugary foods in the house and I'm wondering if the increase in sweeteners are giving me a headache. Please keep posting your cravings so I can get ideas. Dill potatoes are sounding really nice right now.

First to go was the coffee. Back when I thought it was a stomach bug I poured myself a cup of coffee and almost threw up. It never even made it to my lips. When my morning sickness was pretty strong I ate a ton of apple sauce around the clock. My MS has eased up and I had a cup and a half of decaf coffee which my stomach ached on. Sorry belly, I'm done. Just tell my nose. I don't know what to drink now when I go out. What's liquidy hot goodness without caffeine? It's pretty limited. At home I drink ginger tea with blackstrap molasses, a great vegan calcium source. I can probably get my local coffee shop to carry it for me, because they don't know what to serve me now anyway. I usually don't need to order they just start when I walk in. I've been eating big meals. I like it when my waist looks preggo not blubbero. Mostly I just miss my coffee aka liquid naps.
