Normally I'm a sweets kind of girl. I could have ice cream every day if I wanted too. And who can resist a cookie? And I'm normally the irritating wife who has no idea what I want to eat for dinner, or no opinion on restaurants if we go out.
Pregnancy has changed that. I'll still eat sweets, but I CRAVE the spicy and the salty. Its been pretty comical where these cravings come from and how intense they can sometimes be. I know not everyone experiences this, but I have. Everything from fast food billboards, people eating certain foods on a tv show, or just some random thought in my brain. I'm just glad I have resisted temptation on most occasions.
The most random cravings so far have been McDonald's Big Mac (that was because we passed a billboard), and Red beans and rice (which I have never cooked before and don't even remember ever eating. Nothing was going to stop me from a last minute grocery trip to make red beans and rice one random day last week, and I've been eating the leftovers every other day since. Finally, I hate hot dogs. I don't mind a corn dog from the fair, but hot dogs...gag! Apparently, this baby does not share that same aversion. I have made special bratwurst dogs at least twice during this pregnancy! Oh and don't forget to add some mustard for dipping and I'm one happy mama!
Gotta run...I'm hungry (again!)
I remember feeling like I was so open to suggestion. I'd see a BBKing commercial and HAVE to have it! Next time I see you I'll bring something salty!
