My Latest Obsession…

If you’ve ever been pregnant before, you  know how intense the craving can get. If you’ve never been pregnant before and are female, imagine it’s like a PMS craving x 10,000. That’s how intense it is.

Once a craving hits me, I always wait it out. Normally it just passes. That’s not the case this time.

I’ve always liked Trader Joe’s Chili Spiced Dried Mango, but didn’t NEED to have it in my house all the time. If I had a bag, it would take months for me to finish it.

Not now. I go through at least a bag a week. If you think this sounds gross, this is actually a major improvement from my cravings last pregnancy. With M, by biggest craving was lemons. I would eat them like an orange.

Now that’s gross.

    You have to try them! They are definitely an acquired taste, but I love them 🙂

    Now these sound good! I can’t really remember any real cravings with Max, but I ate A LOT of baked potatoes with Naturally Fresh Ranch Dressing when I was pregnant with Jay.

    I have a friend who would eat lemons like oranges, and I think I would, too, if it was cut up for me. I think it’s also an Italian thing, too 🙂

    I can so relate with you! My pregnancy craving was sliced cucumbers drenched in fresh lemon juice and sprinkled with cayenne pepper and salt. Yum!!! I would even drink the lemon juice when I finished eating the cucumbers. I will have to try these chile spiced mangoes…so my type of snack, even without being pregnant 🙂

    The cucumbers w/lemon juice sounds REALLY good! I have to try that.

    When I was pregnant with my twins, I drank apple cider vinegar straight from the jar during my first trimester! So crazy!

    I think that tops my lemon eating 😉
    Pregnancy makes your body crave crazy things 🙂
