The only thing I could imagine was the taste of a gyro so we went to the greek place instead.


This is how I am too, one day I am famished and can't stop eating, the next I can't bear the thought of eating anything at all. 

 

In my first pregnancy I couldn't get enough salted limes-- I would eat three or four at a sitting-- but my dentist was quite stern about the damage I was doing to my tooth enamel.  This time I have the same craving but satisfying it with shots of real lemon juice.  I also can't get enough cucumbers, sliced in apple cider vinegar, and again, heavily salted.  I had major salt cravings during the first trimester of my last pregnancy too, and no resulting health issues, so again, I am just going to succumb to the craving.  

 

And I am with nettlesoup on the fish kick.  I stocked up with canned fish (clams & oysters, mackerel, sardines, smoked trout) and I have at least one can a day-- I guess it's all good since I'm getting a heaping helping of those omegas...

I'm having major cravings for a victoria sponge with raspberry jam. I think I'm going to have to make one tomorrow with my gluten free flour.

I have been writing down my cravings so I remember to eat them later. So far: Spaghetti with tons of meaty tomato sauce, chips and queso, shepherd's pie, and a big fat baked potato covered in chili, cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalepenos....mmmmm. And cheesecake. And hot wings. And broccoli cheese soup. I'MSOHUNGRY.

Definitely shepherd's pie for me too! I'd love some hot wings, but you don't get them so much in Scotland. Some of teh stuff I was craving a couple of weeks ago I can't even eat now, it seems to be forever changing with me.

I seem to be going off everything at the moment, although the thai curry I had tonight was pretty good.

Cold cereal. It's almost all I can eat the last couple days. I'm trying to stay away from the super sugary ones

My strongest craving so far, aside from a general craving for "FOOD!" emerged last night.

My fiance (who does the cooking around here) had made some roasted broccoli as a side dish last night. Nothing special, just broccoli, olive oil, salt and pepper done up in the toaster oven but OMG I could not get enough of it. I ate all of mine, all of the leftovers in the pan and then most of his. He was laughing so hard by then because I apparently reminded him of a ravenous shark stalking the seas for more broccoli.

Broccoli is high in iron and a whole bunch of other goodies. ..sounds delish!

I've been eating broccoli and cheese sauce for lunch lately. Annoyingly I burnt my mouth on it the other day and the inside of my mouth is still hurting greensad.gif

Mine would have been better with sliced tomatoes on top, but alas, I had none. But we went to the shops today so now I can have lots of tomato on my broccoli and cheese sauce!

I'm also still loving thai curry.

Everything sounded horrible today even though I felt really hungry...I'm trying not to overdo on carbs, as I was following a low GI diet while TTC. I forced down some yogurt with pumpkin and sesame seeds this morning, and some cheese and fruit at noon. Then, suddenly, FRENCH TOAST started screaming my name, so I threw carb caution to the wind and whipped some up for supper with a side of bacon and a fruit salad and whoa! It hit the spot, for me and my guys.
I'm also ridiculously craving milk--we have a raw milk share that DS drinks most of and I usually make yogurt but don't drink much liquid milk. But a tall cold glass sounds soooo good with food (or alone!).

I had Thai food again! It was so good!

Mmmmm spicy basil noodles sound so good.

I've been in the "nothing sounds good to eat at all" boat...until I had some hot chicken wings. YES. I may have to start eating them everyday. And it just so happens that my birth center/midwifery clinic is just down the street from the best hot wing joint in town!!!!

I've been drinking a ton of milk. I stopped milk products all together for 6 months and now I drink so much and it is so good.

i went back to the indian buffet this evening....i figured the spice would help my cravings (& possibly alleviate sinus pressure).

cravings dealt with....sinus pressure still there. BUT tummy totally happy!
