What's Your Craving?

I just finished munching on a piece of lettuce. It was really tasty. Really hit the spot. I have been craving the crunchy & watery stuff, lately. When I want a little something, often I reach for some lettuce, or celery, or cucumber, or jicama. Yum! Maybe a carrot.
My mom eats baby carrots. I think that is her snack passion. I think maybe it started when she was pregnant one time. Is that right, Mom?

What is your craving? When you want a snacky, what do you gravitate towards?
Don't let this veggie thing fool you, though. I still often go for a Coke, ice cream , or Burger King meal. I haven't turned bunny rabbit...

Last night I had a terrible craving for peanut butter cups. Since I don't eat the store bought version (milk), I made my own. At midnight. Crazy much? They were delicious though...I'm happy with how they turned out.

Usually though my cravings are for salty or crunchy foods - I love cucumbers sprinkled with a dash of soy sauce and rice vinegar. My favorite Japanese place serves this amazing cold spinach dish called Oshidashi - spinach with sesame soy dressing. It's super tangy and yummy!

Happy New Year! :-)

I crave foods when I'm not pregnant and when I am pregnant... I am super picky and feel like nothing will hit the spot. SO annoying.
Yesterday I was craving tacos badly and Jason told me that I crave those a lot. Funny that he knows these things and I don't.
I like chocolate and adore any type of ice cream.
Never eaten and enjoyed a leaf of lettuce though.

One word: POTATOES.
Maybe this comes from being a northwest girl. Hehe.
But yeah, I've been craving potatoes for months now. Every day. Literally.
And green salad.
And blackberries.
Mmmmm.
Now I'm hungry! ;)

Erin, I envy this craving of yours! When I was pregnant, the only thing I couldn't stand was veggies! It was terrible! I could eat anything that contained carbs like a champ, but veggies were the grossest things to me...it was sad. Finally, I like veggies again!
