Jello Pudding Pops

On the eve of my due date, I'm craving these pudding pops. And I have none! Not a single one in my house. Ugh! And I don't want to go to the store. Especially at night. I can barely fit in my car. My belly has been touching the steering for a while now. So I try to avoid any extra and unnecessary driving.

But all I can think about are these pudding pops. They're amazing! A wonderful mix of pudding and ice cream. Wonderful! And after today at work, I really could use something amazing! Tomorrow, as soon as I leave my doctor's appointment, I"m going for a box or 2 of these bad boys! I might put myself in a sugar coma tomorrow night. H

All I Can Eat is Grapes

I haven't been able to really eat in at least a week. It's almost like I can't fit the food in my belly. Like Charlotte is getting so big, there is no room for anything else. Nothing sounds good. Nothing looks good. I just can't handle it.

I know that sounds weird. But I haven't been able to eat meals in what feels like forever. But I've been eating lots of grapes. Because they're easy. And I can eat small bunches, every couple of hours. Yes, I've been living off of grapes. I hope that I get to eat sometime soon. H

Dinner for S

My friend S had a tough day yesterday. And I wanted to do something to cheer him up. Every Monday, S comes over for dinner. He drives over 3 hours to come visit me. One way! When I get home from work, he is sitting on my porch waiting for me. S always brings dinner, and usually something for Charlotte. Then he helps me with different projects around my house.

S is a great guy! He had a tough day yesterday. A really tough day. I wanted to do something special for him. Like cook him dinner. You know, instead of him buying something. So I'm planning on making this. Doesn't it look good? And it looks pretty easy. Something that I can't mess up. :)

Now I just need to go to work. And try and get off early. So that I can get to the grocery store. And hopefully have dinner ready for S. I told him not to worry about anything this week. Let's hope I can get it all done. H

Happy National Kreme Filled Donut Day :)

Before my bestie went home, we sat and talked. And had some dinner. There may or may not have been a little TV watching too! :)

But what we learned is this, today is "National Kreme Filled Donut Day!" Yes, I'm serious! All you have to do is go to your local Krispy Kreme and say, "Happy National Kreme Filled Donut Day." They should reward your efforts with a "Kreme filled donut."

Hmm, I know of at least 2 Krispy Kremes between here and work. I just might have to make a stop. A yummy donut sounds like a good snack this morning. :) H

Yo Quiero Taco Bell

For over a week now, I've been craving Taco Bell. It's all I could think of. And I have to admit it, I made 2 stops there this week. Craziness! I hardly eat there. Especially now. You see, I was a junk food junkie before I got pregnant. I lived off of fast food as a kid. My mom never cooked.

But for whatever reason, I don't like Taco Bell. I don't know why. But this week, I even dreamt about it. I ended up having lunch there twice. The second time was because I wanted a frozen drink. Then as I was sitting in the drive thru, all I could think about was a Mexican pizza and an enchirito.

But I got my craving out of the way. And it was actually really good. Probably not something I'm going to eat again. Well, not anytime soon. But it was good while it lasted. Is there anything that you craved out of the ordinary? H

Pears

I've had this ridiculous craving for pears this past week. As in, I've eaten at least 12 in about a week! Uncle S brought us a HUGE case! He feels like I need to take care of myself. And part of that is eating what I crave, when I crave it. Made me laugh!

But they are delicious! Since last night, I've had 3. Is this weird? Am I weird? Whatever the case may be, these pears are delicious! And I've never been a big fruit and veggie eater. So that tells you a lot! I mean A LOT!

I asked my doctor about it. She said it was more than OK. Because, well, you know. It's good for me and my baby girl. Just not good if I eat an entire pound in a sitting...or even a day. But I guess there are worst cravings out there. H

Mexican Chicken

I just watched this video. And this chicken dinner looks so yummy! It reminds me of the food from my hometown. I really want to make this recipe. It looks super easy. And well, I need that. Because I'm not a good cook. And cooking chicken, it scares me. I once made me and T really sick. Because I don't think the chicken was all the way cooked.

I'm going to have to go to the grocery store tomorrow, after church. And I'm definitely going to make this. I'm so hungry! But tonight's dinner is already in the Crock Pot. I just can't believe how easy this looks to make. Yum! H

Too Many Tomatoes???

Can you have too many tomatoes? I think so. Scratch that. I don't think, I know so! I planted way too many plants this year. Because I wasn't sure what I was doing. I bought a pack of each kind of tomato that I found. And a big pot for each. Then I planted a pack of seeds in each pot.

Um, can you see where I went wrong? Ya. Too many plants in a pot. Lead me to go buy more pots. Then, I had too many plants. Now I have tomatoes coming out every which direction! I'm giving them to everyone that comes around!

But they are delicious. And if I knew anything about cooking, well I'd freeze or can them. But I don't. So I'm enjoying them fresh from the garden. Baby girl seems to enjoy them too! That's a good thing. Because we have tons! And we'll probably be eating them for the remainder of this pregnancy. Now I know. Next year, I'll only plant a few seeds. :) H

Betty's Party Chocolate-Coated Popcorn Recipe

This seriously looks good! How did I find this video? I still have no clue. But this chocolate coated popcorn looks amazing! I don't have any of these ingredients in my house. Remember I'm trying to be healthy? Well, I might just have to go grocery shopping. I really want some chocolate popcorn. :) H

I Should Learn How to Cook Like This...

Really, I don't know how to cook. Not very much. And not well. In fact, I'm pretty sure the one time I really attempted a big dinner for me and my hubby, I got us sick. I don't think I cooked the chicken all the way...

But these 2 videos give me a little hope. And around here, well Southern food is a must! I just don't know how to cook...





And now that I have an appetite again, I think I really need to start learning how to cook. Before I know it, I'll be a mommy. And my little girl will be depending on me to cook for her. I really want her to eat better than I did as a kid. I was pretty much raised on fast food and frozen food. Not good!

I don't think I'll start with this recipe. But I'm really going to focus on learning how to cook. At least by the time my daughter is old enough, I should know how to cook something. Something that tastes decent, and is somewhat healthy. :) H

Shamrock Shake

Where are you? I'm craving you! None of our local McD's have them this year! What in the world is going on? I keep checking all of the websites, and there is not a McD's anywhere near here with this delicious green drinks!

McD's what's going on? I think these need to be sold everywhere. OK, I don't think they should, I KNOW they should! I would give almost anything to taste that yummy green, frozen goodness! H

Fettuccine Alfredo

The minute I seen this video, I started craving some Fettuccine Alfredo! My favorite is from Olive Garden. So creamy, cheesy, and yummy! I never really attempted to make it at home. I've seen the Alfredo sauce in a jar. But it never looked really good. Betty just makes it look so easy! Maybe it's a possibility. I might be able to succeed at this. That or I just need to go to Olive Garden! H
