Let's talk about cravings.

[picksthemusic]

Because a turkey dinner sounds delicious right now. We have a restaurant near us called Gobble, and it's all about the classic Thanksgiving turkey dinner. I really, really want mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls with butter, stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce... OMG you guys.

The closest I'll probably get today is the turkey soup at the cafeteria.

What are you wanting right now?

[theatre4life]

Ice cream. I feel like I have had more dairy in the last 3 months, than I have in the last 3 years! (Not lactose intolerant, just never really want/eat it.) And fruit. (Not together.) I just want all the pears/apples/oranges/bananas there are.

[magdala]

For me it has been milk and fruit. I am going through 1.5 gallons of milk each week all by myself (DH doesn't like milk). I picked up two packages of strawberries last night after supper. One package is already gone because they just were so good.

[pinotgrig]

Carbs and salt, checking in.

I'll have the sour cream and onion potato chips, McDonalds cheeseburgers, pizza, Pringles, and chocolate milk please. Possibly topped off with a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate syrup. Or a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch - yum! I also had a random craving for a homemade root beer float last weekend. I haven't had one in ages and it was so good.

Veggies, fruit and beans. I ate half a watermelon and an avocado taco for dinner last night. I had more watermelon for lunch today and I think I will ask MH to buy me a whole watermelon on his home from work tonight. I also can't get enough of cooked green veggies like spinach and green beans.

[SJ]

Carbs. I don't know how much of that is a real craving, or more just that I usually restrict carbs and now they taste so good! Bagels, cereal, pizza......

I have been drinking lots of milk too.

I also really want a cocktail. Not wine or champagne (which I am ok with having 1 glass of), but a margarita or the like.

[narockshard]

Sugary cereal. It started out as Fruit Loops, then it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch, now it's Peanut Butter crunch. And junk food in general. And wtf, but lately I feel like I have an aversion to any sort of dinner I cook. For example, the thought of me making tacos just does not sound appealing AT ALL. But Taco Bell? Sounds delicious.

[jamer]

Salt and vinegar French fries. I was super cranky the other day bc H wouldn't go get them for me. I might have to go myself I'm that desperate.

[sneetch]

I don't have specific cravings right now (and really haven't since the first trimester), but I've always had a sweet tooth that seems to have increased with pregnancy. I'd love to eat just about any baked good right now.

[bowies]

In the first tri I was all about milk and fruit (mainly citrus and cantaloupe). Then I switched to about a week of random green cravings - asparagus, kale shakes and the like. Now my cravings have mostly passed, though carbs and cheese are getting some major love from me. Pizza is my BFF. Oh, and waffles. I could eat the hell out of a chocolate chip Belgian waffle right about now.

H and I are trying to reschedule our Valentine's date and he asked what I wanted. The only thing that sounds good is a Firehouse sub and a margarita. And I can't have either one.

[FastHands]

Carbs and milk. I have to have my english muffin with peanut butter and a LARGE glass of milk every morning.

SAY WHAT?! Firehouse steams their meat and is absolutely, 100% allowed. I triple-checked, yo.

[blushing]

My cravings change all the time, and most of the time I don't actually go out and get them because I am trying to be mindful of my weight. But for the last 4 days I have been craving Tres Leches cake. I am dreaming about. And I told my normally non-jerk DH this morning about it (ok, I told him for the 4th day in a row), he turned around and told me to get some control. I was hurt and responded by crying. I am still craving it though.

Really?!?!  OMG, I love you.  I've just been avoiding all lunchmeat out of caution but if cooked subs are allowed, I'm about to go tear it up.

I want a nap and that is about all I've been craving the entire pregnancy. I just want more sleep. I'm tired and cranky.

Go getchoo some! Yeah, it's a listeria concern, and listeria die at the temps used at Firehouse. I would die without them. They were one of the first to know I was pg, because before I confirmed with my Dr that the deli meats were ok, I suddenly was eating the meatball sub, which I never did before. lol. We go there a lot.

[loira]

Spicy wings, and I've searched far and wide in London. I've never found a pub that does good ones.

[catsarecute]

I was in dire need of a donut and a cherry sprite this morning so I stopped at the Chevron that has a cherry (and vanilla!) button on the soda fountain and got my cherry sprite and my donut!

Gotta hit the gym tonight. I have a dr. appointment on Monday and don't want to have too much of a weight gain from my last appointment.

This is my fave breakfast lately too! SO good! Also tasty with a glass of chocolate milk.

 Have you tried Domino's Pizza? They do Franks RedHot wings. So, so good! Sometimes I order pizza just to get the wings.

[jewel]

Nothing sounds GOOD, but some things sound less terrible than other things. Right now, I'm eating mostly McDonalds, cereal, pop tarts, top ramen, smoothies, mini donuts, oatmeal, popcorn....that's about it

Oh, I'd never thought to try them! I think I was still stuck on the idea that I could find a pub that does them. I've also tried the Sports Cafe and the Maple Leaf (I do not recommend), hoping that the US/Can establishments might make nice ones. It never occurred to me to try a pizza joint. Thanks!

Today I wanted an italian BMT sub from subway. I ate lunch meat :::gasp::: without toasting it. I decided women in the 40's-60's smoke & drank. We have lots of adults running around perfectly normal. One day of lunch meat isn't going to hurt anything.
I also might eat some sushi soon because I have been CRAVING it.

[statlerwaldorf]

McDonalds chicken nuggets with hot mustard sauce, but they don't have hot mustard anymore and no other sauce will do.

[scribellesam]

Changes daily but it's basically whatever fast food I see a commercial for, and sweets of all kinds. And milk and fruit, too, but mainly all the unhealthy stuff.

[centralsquare]

Popsicles.

I don't really crave much right now. Mostly I just have to make myself eat, bc if I had my druthers, I wouldn't. Everything largely sounds terrible.

[Blue Moon]

Mozzarella sticks. I dreamt about them last night.
