Food!

Ah yes the old food in pregnancy challenge :) there are a few articles under the pregnancy section on this site but yes- it's a challenge :)
I remember eating bakers delight a fair bit - not that I would recommend that.
I would make my own fresh salads with smoked chicken - but I only had the smoked chicken fresh that day - or a cooked chicken from the supermarket.
You can also do pasta with a pasta sauce.
Will have to think of more ideas and post later :) thinking cap officially on :)

Sorry no suggestions here, so far all I've done at lunchtime is swap the ham for bacon to make a BLT lol. I'm a SAHM so have the advantage of being able to have hot stuff.
Felt sad giving up my weekly souvlaki!

Sushi was the biggest thing I missed! On the day I had my babies I had hubby send bring me sushi to the hospital :)

I have found that I am just cooking a bit extra at night and taking dinner left overs for lunch, also soups with some toasty bread yum!! Noodles with fresh veges and a yummy dressing. Fresh sushi is also SSSOOO easy to make!! I thought it would b a drag but its super easy :) Also lasagne's, hot toasted sandwiches with ham or salami, but I toast them so hot that I actually cant eat them for a while :)

Cous cous with fresh feta and stir fried veges is pretty tasty and fulling too :)

So hungry now

Would you eat KFC while pregnant? I did last time then a friend made me feel terrible for having?

I thought feta was out as it was a soft cheese?

I would personally avoid store mayo as it is still made with egg yolk. It is only really safe if it clearly says that it is made with pasteurised egg but I haven't found and brands that say that in NZ.

I also would never touch KFC but then I never eat there anyway. I just don't think any fast food places can be trusted to make sure food is fresh and piping hot and chicken is the worst so I would stay well away personally. As far as I'm concerned it is only 9 months so it isn't worth the risk to me.

I find roasting a batch of veggies at the weekend works pretty well and then I have them in wraps for lunch throughout the week, either with a bit of cheese and toasted or with some tinned tuna or chicken. It's a good way to get your veggie intake up as I find it hard to get up to the recommended 4-5 servings a day without having some at lunch time.

I'm loving fruit at the moment which is quite unusual for me but I can't get enough of it!

Oh yeh and as far as I know Feta is fine as long as it is cooked in something and not eaten cold (as with so many things)

Personally with chicken I wont eat it unless I have cooked it myself.

regards to feta, my midwife has told me aslong as it is in a sealed pack and you eat it within 2 days of opening you are fine.

I definitly think some people make a bigger deal out of what you can and cant eat but I think as long as you stick to the basics and make sure everything is fresh and prepared well you will be fine, but as you said MakeitWork, its only 9 months.

They are good cravings Pepsicle!
I haven't had any yet but cheeseburgers were popular about this stage last time then milkshakes like 3 times aday until 17wks!?

IS cooked watercress safe to eat while preg??, Im sure i ate it while preg with #2 and another baby site has recipes with it in it for preg ladies but other sites say no??
