What's Tasty to you today?

[leogirl79]

Severe m/s doesn't usually set in for me until around 7 or 8 weeks so I am making a contentious effort to enjoy whatever appeals to me while I can! This morning I made strawberry shortcake :eat: and this afternoon I gobbled up some flax seed chips and green chili dip. Last night for dinner all I wanted was roasted veggies so I went to the farmers market and got potatoes, onions, carrots, brussel sprouts, garlic, mushrooms and we tossed them in EVOO and red wine vinegar and lightly salted them. It was delicious!

What is everyone eating???

[mom2annika]

Bleh. As little as possible. With DD I was like you Leogirl, no m/s and ate whatever I wanted. But with this one I've been sick as a dog. Praying it ends with the first trimester!

Ohhh, you misread lol. I've suffered Hypermesis with 2 out of 4 and the only reason I didn't last time was thanks to Zofran. I get incredibly sick, but not usually until 7 or 8 weeks in. I'm 5w and about 4 days now...so it will hit soon enough.

Hang in there!!!

[JSMa]

M/S kicked in today... begining of my 7th week. So mints sound great today. lol

Still craving a baked potato actually... since last night... it'd probably be more of a pain to go to the store and get everything I want on it than to go to a restruant and get one though. :p lol

[juneau]

I am HUNGRY. Only 4w5d, though. I especially crave spicy foods -- the spicier the better!

[MrsSoup]

I've eaten so much meat these last couple days, its crazy!!

I had ribs for lunch yesterday and pork and lamb for dinner. Soooo good.

And mashed potatoes. But I could eat mashed potatoes for every meal too.

[crunchyma5]

I am HUNGRY. Only 4w5d, though. I especially crave spicy foods -- the spicier the better!

Spicy Spicy Spicy for me made some homemade nachos for lunch and had to have them covered in jalapeno peppers.

Also made some very tart lemonade it is all I can stand. I usually carry a sig bottle around with water and I cant stand water need lemonade:p

[quietserena]

Baked potato with lots of butter and fresh cottage cheese.

Mmmm..

[A Mothers Love]

DH baked some banana Bread this morning. It is pretty much all I have had today. I bet it's all gone before he gets home.:p

A baked potato does sound good.:eat:
I just had some green olives too. yum-yum

[Bloomingstar]

mangoes are the only thing that have been consistently appealing.

[leerypolyp]

I feel siiiick unless I'm eating potatoes with yogurt and salt, drinking lemonade, or (today) eating something that approximates my mother's fried chicken. (It was Bell&Evans chicken nuggets. I ate a whole box.)

Also muskmelon.

Anything green sounds terribly unappealing.

[shantiani]

I crave chocolate milkshakes ALL the time! With whipped cream please!

Mornings i always want plain yogurt and a bowl of cheerios,
but I have wild cravings later in the day ... I had to leave work early on Friday because i NEEDED a bacon bbq cheeseburger. Beef stew last night. Pepperoni pizza last week. Normally I'm a brown rice and steamed greens kind of girl, but right now all I want is fat, protein, and dairy!

[sarah2881]

Nothing:bawl

I never felt sick with DD, so this is new to me. All I want is queso and tortilla chips! But I am sure in a couple hours that wont sound good anymore.

[scarlettrose]

you all are making me want a baked potato...

guess my homemade potato stew will have to do....mmm...with fresh chives from the farmer's market....they MAKE the stew....

[juneau]

Potatoes... Oh my, you are bringing back memories. When I was pregnant with dd, I moved cross-country at about seven weeks. All I could eat were creamy white things: Kentucky Fried Chicken mashed potatoes and McD's vanilla ice cream. I swear I made my dad stop at every KFC we passed... :lol ... until I discovered I could eat steak! (That made both of us a lot happier!)

[quietserena]

Nothing:bawl

:hug gentle style

i hope it passes for you

[JSMa]

Breakfast this morning... mashed potatoes.

Last night I was craving macaroni and cheese soooo bad.

[tuppence]

My poor partner is trying so hard to make sure I'm eating healthy things, but all I want is salt and fat--so far the same thing I wanted last time--a chicken sandwich from wendy's.

[Bloomingstar]

today, saltines and ginger ale are about it. ugh. :(

[rachel616]

I'm still craving guacamole, chips & salsa, but DH is getting REALLY sick of going to Mexican places - I would go for lunch and dinner every day if I could get away with it! :eat:

Lemonade too... mmmm. Must be very lemony and real, though. At brunch on Sunday the waitress brought me Snapple lemonade in a glass, which is just awful sugar water. I threw a little fit, like "this isn't lemonade" "yes it is" "no, it's sugar water - there's no lemon in there" "well it's what we have, it's snapple" "well, i wanted real lemonade." "sorry we don't have that" "fine, but i don't want THAT."

Anyone else having a short temper too? :lol

[scarlettrose]

still right there with you, rachel, on the mexican cravings....

[A Mothers Love]

I just had some saurkraut. I like a lot of salt on it. I also had a pear & it was better than it sounded.

[leogirl79]

mmmmmmm
I may have to have my hubby get me some mexican tonight. That is sounding mighty tasty! Mmmmmmmmm green chili here I come...oooh, or maybe red...no...I think Christmas (red AND green!) :eat::thumb

[MrsSoup]

Mmmmmm....taco bell......

[xakana]

What I'm eating is NOT what I want. I desperately want a Papa John's pizza, dripping with cheese. What I'm craving seems to be cheese. And Doritos. I'm trying to get ahold of my best friend to get me some, but I haven't had any luck so far (I can't drive, so I have to wait until DH gets home at 11:30 for anything). I also want my spaghetti, but again, not an option (not only do we not have a stove we can use, but it's such a pain cooking on a hot plate and we don't have all the ingredients). *sigh* I'm hungry, but everything that's available looks gross.

I'm avoiding Mexican food for a few more weeks still because that's what got me into labor with Lilly.

[ainh]

how freakin' cliche is this? .... I've eaten almost two jars of pickles over the last three days.

otherwise, i am craving things that i can't eat due to DS's food allergies. plain yogurt and pad thai, specifically.

[Cutie Patootie]

I have a weird spicy craving, too. I'm only 5 weeks and 3 days. Dh and I just made some jalapeño poppers. Definitely, not on the "light" side.

fresh jalapeños
cream cheese, softened
bacon

slice off the top and cut the peppers in half and scrape out the seeds and vein
fill each pepper half with cream cheese and wrap with a 1/4 to 1/2 piece of bacon. Lay halves on a rack on a cookie sheet at 350 for about 45ish minutes.

Man, they are so good. I think I could eat them for every meal. :drool

[mamajody]

Stir fried peppers, squash, carrots and onions in Trader Joe's soyaki sauce with big chunks of marinated tofu. Served over pasta 'cause my kids ate all the rice. I have had a fried egg and cheese sandwhich before bed every day this week so far. What I am NOT eating is anything green and leafy or yogurt. I am supposed to avoid wheat due to the twins' food sensitivity, so almost everything else in the house is too much work when I am really hungry. I really want gobs and heaps of potatoes, but they are the main trigger food for my GD, so I am actively avoiding all things potato.:(

:yum those sound DELICIOUS....

[mamasthree]

my cravings have started....same as with my other pgs, I crave eggs, tuna fish sandwiches, and subway. Too bad those last two are either limited or off limits :eyesroll. I just ate a peanut butter sandwich, and it just wasn't what I wanted.

It's gonna be a long 9 months :p.

[doulamomvicki]

Nothing:irked: I think the m/s this time is going to kick my butt.

[mauimama5]

right now at this very moment I want salty, black olives. Earlier today I had a turkey, avacado, bacon sandwich.....I don't generally eat pork, red meat or chicken.....but darn that bacon was good, lol...:D

[JSMa]

I'm back on my Velveeta shells kick, with an addition of I want a really big Deli garlic pickle and olives. DP is taking me to Wegmans Meditteranean olive bar this weekend. :D

[rachel616]

I woke up this morning with nausea and major food aversions to everything we have, so I sent DH to the store to get a bunch of random stuff like pickles, american cheese, blackberries, blood orange sorbet, white bread and seltzer water.

So, I ended up having blackberries and a buttery grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast and might just have that again for lunch! :eat:

[rachel616]

Earlier today I had a turkey, avacado, bacon sandwich.....

That is my favorite sandwich! If it's hot, I especially like it with melted mozzarella. Yummy.

Anyone else constantly hungry? I feel famished! :eat:

[crunchyma5]

Add me to the mexican food, Spicy seems to be the theme for this little kiddo. I have been basically eating spicy dipping cheese, salsa and chips.

And a nice cold :cold: glass of lemonade on the side

[leogirl79]

Anyone else constantly hungry? I feel famished! :eat:


Me Me Me!!! I could eat all day, but I'm trying so hard not to! I've been drinking pregnancy tea to fill in the gaps. Today (and it is just noon) I've had multi-grain cheerios and a big bowl of potatoes (I love to cut them up, drizzle them with EVOO, sprinkle garlic and red chili powder on them and bake them for 20min or so...mmm), and I'm on my 2nd cup of pregnancy tea. I'm jonseing some saltines with grated sharp cheddar on them..but that isn't very healthy so I'm seeing if that "need" goes away. lol :eat:

BTW, the other night I got 2 chili rellenos smothered in red chili, it was SO good!!!!! :yum

I had lots of cravings for all things spicy with my son...we're not finding out but I've been leaning that way ever since I found out lol.

[Cutie Patootie]

Ugh! I just ate a tuna fish sandwich on toast. Blech! :sick
This little one better be sticking, because he/she is causing all kinds of uproar over here. :lol

[Prism]

Man, it is so hard to read this thread! I get craving from it!
those poppers are going to be in my brain til I get them, though I will probably have to find some frozen ones b/c I hate cooking right now.
In fact, I hate anything that resembles work!

Oh, and the pickles ,, I'm dreaming of pickles!

[jenniferadurham]

I just had oriental Ramen noodles that someone from the July post was talking about. I'm considering going to make some more. I'm not quite full yet. I've been having aversions, but I look on the other DDC's that are soon to be expecting...they have the best craving and ideas on there! I tell them sorry for envading, and then bow to them for all the ideas.

[ruthmg]

I think my flesh aversion is kicking in. I'm not really interested in food, but I know if I eat, I feel marginally better. Bleh.

[Bloomingstar]

I think my flesh aversion is kicking in. I'm not really interested in food, but I know if I eat, I feel marginally better. Bleh.

exactly! I don't know what happened! Two weeks ago I wanted to eat all sorts of things. Now...I have to go through a real process to get myself to eat anything. NOTHING sounds good, even when I know I had better eat soon or I'll be seriously nauseous. I think I need a personal chef who will just give me things to eat :laugh:

[AntoninBeGonin]

I've been an eat-ohlic today :eat:. Before getting out of bed I had a handful of Annie's Cheddar Bunnies and some water. Breakfast was steel cut oats, with diced apple, cinnamon, a splash of milk, and honey. After that a dozen garlic non-breaded shrimp and a glass of lemon water. Then carrots and broccoli with hummus. A few pieces of caramel Dove chocolates. A handful of mesclun salad. One hard boiled egg. And for lunch, a bowl of pinto beans with two garlic cloved chopped into it and sprinkled with salt. Oh and more water. Oh and a few bites of cereal here and there. :lol

[MrsSoup]

OMG, for lunch, I *desperately* wanted tator tots. Like, I would kill for them.

Then, lunch comes, and the only place that has tator tots (Sonic) in the area had a line of about 15 cars in the drivethrough, and all the spaces were filled in the little parking area. WTF?! I didn't want to take that long of a lunch today so I could go home early. So I said screw it, and immediately, all I wanted was something with grilled pineapple. So I went to Carl's Jr instead, with all its lovely grease and fat.

And I am now satisfied. And since we are going to a friend's graduation party this evening, and its going to be at McMenamins, I will still get my tator tots. :D

[HoneyTree]

Oh, God! I cannot get enough watery fruits lately--blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, watermelon... Luckily the season for these where I live is just beginning, so I can hopefully ride this craving out with local produce! Now if I get a hankering for maple syrup, I'm SOL!

[racidoodle]

i'm on the spicy kick today! we went out for thai food, and i had massaman curry. mmmm... peanuts, potatoes, red pepper, and white onion. it was heaven!

i had bad m/s w/ DS, but all's well so far with this one! of course, i'm only around week 5, so i've got time...

[Cutie Patootie]

NOTHING sounds good, even when I know I had better eat soon or I'll be seriously nauseous. I think I need a personal chef who will just give me things to eat :laugh:

I don't have the nauseous part, but everything else you described. I just can't say what is good to eat in the past couple of days. The only thing I want is cottage cheese and tomatoes. Last night I had some tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil that almost hit the spot.:lol Otherwise, nothing sounds good. Lemonade. I want lemonade...real lemonade with pulp in it. :drool That's funny now that I think about it. I drank so much lemonade when I was pregnant with dc2.

[quietserena]

Atm in front of me, I have a plate of salted lemon slices. I can't explain it. Sooo good. :lol

[Taryn237]

Nausea and indigestion are starting already... sigh... This morning I needed to eat right away to not feel sick.

Last pregnancy the only think I could eat 1st tri. was carbs and sour stuff. I'd eat plain lettuce with vinegar on it every day for lunch. lol. I wonder if thats going to start again since I'm craving pickles and DS and I polished off our jar a few days ago.

[MrsSoup]

I couldn't tell you anything that I wanted today. It was actually kinda annoying, because it took me forever to order lunch today because nothing actually sounded good.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll get a craving tomorrow!

[ruthmg]

I went to Ikea today and ate Swedish meatballs. Yum!!! I probably could have eating a second plate! Apparently my flesh aversion is selective :)

[leogirl79]

Sorry, I have to refresh this thread and gab about my newest obsession (well, this weeks!)

PUMPKIN!

I have a jar of Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, that is quickly vanishing.

I may need to bake a pie soon.

Pumpkin ROCKS!

mmmmmm... pumpkin!! you just gave me a craving! Thanks a lot! LOL

[AutumnJade]

Hot Coacoa and pay day

[RunnerMommy]

Hummus! The spicier the better!

Although yesterday I ate almost an entire container and this morning when I opened the fridge and saw it I was slightly repulsed. So I guess there will be a new food of the day today. :D

[ankh]

Everything smells really odd whenever I open the fridge so I seem to be cramming things in while trying not to smell them and then burp. It's really attractive.

[JSMa]

My days are really hit or miss... but the last few has been forcing myself to eat because my stomach just feels ick. :x

Today though... I needed McD's. Nasty, I know... but it hit the spot. lol

[jenniferadurham]

:yeah:

How funny...I'm actually getting off here right now to go get some MCD's. It's the only thing that sounds good...cheeseburger and fries. MMMMMMMMM

[mamasthree]

I hit the McD's drive-thru yesterday at 3 pm :o. I just had to have a hamburger. It was the only thing that tasted good all day.

What I really crave, though, is a big meaty sub from Subway. Only I want it cold and that's a no-no. Waah.

[Bloomingstar]

today, mashed potatoes and buffalo wings. :eat: had it for lunch and it was so small, I might go get it again for before I have to go to rehearsal tonight. I have been drinking Naked green machine smoothies because I feel guilty about my vegetable aversion!

[A Mothers Love]

I don't care for much at all. BUT..........I did just have some apple & it was good!!!! I think iced tea might be good.
my trouble comes "after" I eat or drink anything. I feel so ick & unsettled after I take in anything.

[Double Buckeye]

Peanut butter. I had it twice today, once at breakfast with some seeded flatbread crackers, and then for a snack tonight with pretzels. I think I've had peanut butter every day since I found out I was pregnant.

[riaketty]

Well, I was only craving chocolate cake. Which we have the fixings for.

However, now, I want:
Papa Johns
Pickles
Mexican
Spicy food
Eggs
Peanut Butter
Baked Potato


... You guys suck. :D In a good way! *note to self: Stay off this thread!*

ETA: Now I really really want papa johns. But we live in the sticks. There is no papa johns within twenty minutes. And I don't have a car. *whine*

[MrsSoup]

We are leaving town for a week for my SIL's wedding, so we have next to no food in the house...

So for dinner last night, DH walked me through the grocery store listing off foods to try and figure out what I wanted for dinner. Cuz I didn't want anything. Ended up with corn dogs, chicken strips and a yummy cantalope. :D

[OwensMa]

Today, I've had yoghurt and a not quite ripe enough banana. I've been indulging in peanut butter, which is my pg comfort food. No wonder! Today, I got my two lines.

[lovely rita]

Holy moly, whoever said Papa Johns is in trouble. Ahhhh that sounds so good to me right now, I promise you I could eat 100% of a large pizza. I promise.

[Bloomingstar]

I've gone back to mashed potatoes as the thing I can eat even while not wanting anything at all or feeling too nauseous for anything to seem remotely appetizing. Yay for whoever invented mashed potatoes. :thumb

[jenniferadurham]

OMG!


I had Dickies(bbq) today. IT was AMAZING. I'm not eating meat right now...ewwww.

But I did eat:

Mac/cheese
dill potatoe salad
green beans
fried okra
pickles/onion/hot pepper
3/4 unsweet tea with 1/4 sweet
and I topped it off with vanilla soft serve w/ a touch of chocolate syrup



MMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM




WHAT IS IT WITH VANILLA SOFT SERVE WHILE PG???? I can't get enough of it. It's not even my first choice when picking out icecream, not pg.

[jenniferadurham]

Today, I've had yoghurt and a not quite ripe enough banana. I've been indulging in peanut butter, which is my pg comfort food. No wonder! Today, I got my two lines.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kijip]

Salmon and cold greens salad. Oddly, oatmeal made me wretch this morning:(

[AutumnJade]

PB and Nutella
I had a yummy omlette and fried taters and a muffin from Mimis
And more beans, so good
And I like pork and chicken(must be bonless skinless or else) :(
Quaker bars
crackers with vienna sausages
Pancakes or waffles

I need some chedder

[jenniferadurham]

I am snacking on mrs bairds chocolate mini donuts and milk. I needed something, this is the first thing I saw. Hey...it's dairy. And I haven't been taking in any at all...bleh

[leogirl79]

Damn Ben and Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio

I had to have some last night and ended up going to Target and getting some. Totally hit the spot :eat:

[crunchyma5]

NOTHING:( I just hit the six week mark and I feel like crap! Even my high protein foods are making me wretch. I pray that this is not the beginning of HG. The kids have been eating fast food all week because I cant even go into the kitchen. It was like I was feeling ok then all of a sudden I feel like total crap. Everything smells and makes me wretch. Ok off my pity party for now!

[Double Buckeye]

I am the exact opposite of the PP--today, EVERYTHING is good. I would seriously be eating non-stop if I could. It started last night when I was shopping with my husband for supplies to work on the yard and I had to have a veggie burger from my favorite local restaurant RIGHT THAT MINUTE. He took me there, thankfully, and I inhaled that veggie burger and could have easily had another one--and they're HUGE, like half-pound burgers.

Today, I packed my lunch to eat with my co-workers, but then I only made it to 11:30 before I ran up to the cafeteria and got a big pile of beef and noodles. It just sounded SO GOOD. I'll eat the packed lunch tomorrow, I guess.

Right now I'm trying to talk myself out of walking down to the cupcake bakery and bringing one back. The little devil on my shoulder says "If you walk there, it's EXERCISE!"

[jenniferadurham]

Nothing. I'm SHOVING a deli creations ham and swiss down my throat bc I'm about to feel sick if I don't. Oh, I'm eating nacho chees doritos and a mountain cooler capri sun.

[jr'smom]

Today I am sooo hungry for spaghetti with homemade meatsauce ad garlic bread. I've got to have it for dinner! Oh yeah, and lemonade...ALWAYS lemonade!

I drive my DH nuts! He's a SAHD and is in charge of meal planning, shopping, and cooking. I'm always throwing a wrench into his plans. Not intentionally , I swear. I just get very strong aversions and very strong cravings. Some times the cravings turn to aversions just before I'm about to eat it. :lol That really drives him nuts!

And the smell of something he's about to eat OFTEN makes me want to throw up. He has to stay far away and open the windows. :love I'm glad he's so understanding!

[mamasthree]

well, I broke down and went to Subway today. I had a turkey sub with lots of veggies. It was good--I may eat one every day for the next 6 weeks.

[ommom]

it's amazing - i've been on this effortless health kick; it's just what my body is wanting. i'm basically eating all day long. (almost everything is organic.)

B(reakfast): grapefruit
S(nacks): steamed whole milk w/caramel sauce
L(unch): salad (mixed greens, raw corn, grated carrots, sliced fiji apple, sliced marinated tofu, lemon juice, olive oil)
S: 1/2 coke zero, a few salt & vinegar kettle chips, vitamin water, 4 vegie breakfast links, water with lemon
D(inner): polenta, 1 egg over medium, smoked gouda
S: raw almonds, hot cocoa (unsweetened cocoa, a bit of raw agave, a bit of almond milk), cherry tomatoes, fresh mango, ginger chews, frozen banana-strawberry-almond milk smoothie, herbal tea

i feel great! there were a few days of feeling very icky & nauseous but it has passed. i dunno if it's away for good or if i'm keeping it @ bay by eating all day long + practicing yoga in the a.m. but i'm grateful for it.

xo,
a

[kijip]

Well, today it's mashed potatoes and gravy. And kiwi fruit. :eat:

[ruthmg]

I think today I'm going to drink water. And only drink water. Bleah. This nausea is horrible.

[Taryn237]

Ahhh all I can eat are carbs. So far today I've eaten a bagel and applesauce. Nothing else is appetizing. Last night I had avocado rolls which were good, maybe it was the ginger. DS brought me home 2 but I went back to the sushi place and bought myself 2 more :o so I did just eat one of those.

[Prism]

Ohhhhh, you just gave me a craving for california rolls............
I swear I hate reading this thread but I cna't help myself!

[AutumnJade]

makes me want Pei Wei!:eat:

[Bloomingstar]

cheese grits :eat:

[kijip]

Last 2 days all I have been able to keep down without discomfort is cheese pizza. I had some teriyaki and veggies for lunch yesterday and that was a mistake. The kicker is that I don't normally like cheese pizza or cheese much at all.

[MrsSoup]

Ugggg....I'm starving, but so sick, it is so not working.

I've already thrown up three times today. >.<

The worst part is, my morning sickness started on Thursday, when I traveled to Chicago for my DH's sister's wedding. Flying back on Monday, I got to vomit on the plane. \o/ It was so enjoyable!

[FraggleLover]

Breakfast - 2 slices of toast
Lunch - 2 slices of buttered toast.

Do you think i'll manage some jam on toast for dinner?:eat:

[mauimama5]

Today it's homemade veggie soup with herbs from the garden. I made it early this morning b/c once it gets hot I can't cook....
I am on my 3rd bowl :)

[kalirush]

Ugh... I can't read this thread. Y'all's picks all make me want to throw up. :(

Earlier, I really wanted cornmeal pancakes and bacon. I still kind of do, but only when I'm lying flat on my back. Any uprightness and the nausea gets me.

I can't get the husband to cook it for me, either, because he's grumpy due to extreme lack of sleep.

[mamasthree]

I actually ate chinese tonight and it was good.
