Cooked dinner, couldn't eat it

[bk1]

Has this happened to anyone else?

I was making a new stroganoff recipe for dinner tonight. By the time I finished making it, it smelled so awful I couldn't eat it. I had salad and cereal for dinner. At least H got to eat it.

It's happened to me a few times and it's so frustrating!!

[greencrayon]

Yep. Or I ordered something at a restaurant and by the time it came i didn't want it.

Yep, it sucks

[smock]

Yes! I had so many smell aversions that I ended up mainly eating uncooked meals or things I could make super quickly. I remember the smell of boiling water and pasta made me gag!

[pixiedust]

Yup--less aversion and more 'eh, doesn't seem interesting/tasty anymore.' This is why I went from being organized/meal planning to being 'eh, it's 6, we should probably start dinner.' Then I make something simpler, which takes less time, which makes it more likely I'll actually eat it.

Yep. There have been times when I have started dinner and had to bail half way through. Onions are a trigger for me and almost every recipe I make has onions in it.

[robyn]

Yep, I've done it just about every time I've cooked dinner in the last month or so. Food from a restaurant is always great, but I think anything I cook tastes like complete crap. Boiled bowtie pasta with butter and salt, toasted bagels with cream cheese and smoothies are about the only things I can cook and eat. It sucks.

Add another member to the miserable queasy club. I'm not big on cooking these days either. Or eating.

Yes! In the first trimester, I would be in the mood for somthing, go through the trouble of making it, take one look at it, and not want a bite

Hang in there, it will go away! And you will love food again!

Yep. This is true for me EVERY meal. (It was true during my first pregnancy, too.) Hate it.

That happened to me last night! Sounded so good all day & then when it was ready it sounded horrible. Ended up eating a whole box of macaroni!!

I had that problem when pregnant with DD. I have not had that issue yet with this pregnancy. There have been times when I could not eat the leftovers though and normally that is not a problem for me.

I hate when that happens, very disappointing.
