WICW: What I’m Craving Wednesday

Well friends, by the time you read this I should be at my 38 week (and 2 day) doctor’s appointment.  I think I’m ready for baby.  No, I know, I’m ready for baby! Open-mouthed smile

Except for the fact that we are having major bassinet issues.  I really had planned on doing the co-sleeper, but also wanted a bassinet.  The Graco pack-n-play is too big for our room so now we’re scrambling.  Ugh.

Anyway, I’ve been neglecting taking photos of food, and only managed a few.  That being said, for Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday, I decided to show you what I’m craving!

Ever since Thanksgiving, I’ve wanted stuffing.  Heck I want stuffing all year round, but T-day gets those taste buds going, so I had to buy Trader Joe’s cornbread stuffing and made it up on Monday night:

I paired the stuffing with TJ’s savory tofu atop an English muffin with Swiss cheese and mustard.  Quite the tasty meal actually! 

I’m also craving deep dish pizza.  Then again, when am I not? Pregnancy has turned me pizza obsessed.  I’m fine if this obsession never goes away.

I’m craving pumpkin pie.  Maybe it’s the same thing as the stuffing.  I’m not questioning it, but do need to make a pie pretty darn soon.  Perhaps Friday? 

I noticed on other blogs a fair amount of gingerbread talk.  Frankly, I sort of suck at making gingerbread cookies.  I’ve only tried a couple times, but I just feel that  they were off.  But since I’m craving them, I decided to go the easy route and bought these:

I’m thinking I should make these today.  I’ll probably skip the ‘making the men’ part and just do something more like gingersnaps.  Easier, and faster –> quicker to getting in my belly.

And last but not least, I’m craving a Chipotle burrito bowl.  I never really liked Chipotle, but pregnancy has me craving the bowls – my guess is it’s the salt (odd since I kind of hate salt).

So tell me…

What are you craving?

Do you have a fail-proof gingerbread cookie recipe (provide link!)?

  1. Aww I would send you some of my g-bread men but they might be stale by the time they go to you!

  2. those are pretty awesome pregnancy cravings because they’re all normal! though i guess not for you if you usually don’t crave pizza and burrito bowls like i do! ;)

  3. I’m still craving eggnog. Which I just bought at the store. The sweeter the better! Not sure why that is, but the Tater tot loves him some sweets. :)

  4. I’m now craving Chipotle and pizza, thank you very much! ;) I also suck at gingerbread men, so when the craving hits I’m probably going to pick up the readymade gingerbread people at TJ’s!

  5. I want to make gingerbread cookies. So good. Gingerbread is probably my favorite type of pancake but sadly-I used up all the spices I need and since I leave for back home tomorrow…I shouldn’t buy anymore…but it’s totally worth it lolz.

  6. I’m always craving pizza. If the hubs suggested pizza every night of the week, I’d probably give in. I’m also craving some peppermint bark. I love the stuff and haven’t had any yet this year.

    I’m 37 weeks Friday and for the last few weeks ALL I want is sweets. It’s terrible. I also heard that the further along I got, the less I’d be able to eat…so not true. I’m like a garbage disposal lately & never full. ick. Hopefully we will both pop these babies out soon :)

  8. We must be having “cravings esp” b/c I have been craving the exact same things! Pizza-check! Chipotle-check! And definitely any kind of sweet – pie and gingerbread cookies would definitely do ;) I still want to bake my mom’s pumpkin chiffon pie for you sometime – you’d absolutely love it…hmmm perhaps sometime in January for a certain someone’s birthday?! :)

  9. you are making me crave gingerbread :) someone needs to make a gluten free low sugar version! i’ve been craving shrimp cocktail and lucky me my work party had some last night! you’re getting really close to the end my dear! best of luck!

  10. I’ve been craving smoothies! Lots of breakfast smoothies being consumed over here.

  11. I just saw your post about bassinet issues. We also had the same problem with the pack and play being too big. My baby girl also hated the pack and play. We went with the Fisher Price Rock and Play. LIFE SAVER! She started sleeping 2-3 hours at a time.

    Best of luck!

  12. I’m craving coffee, chocolate, and wine. I can’t have them right now because my acid reflux is bad. Booo!! I should make some gingerbread, though!
