Pickles and Chocolate
Hi friends 😀 How was your day? Mine was a doozy, but bueno- I’m just now getting home from 8am this morning. The couch feels very nice 🙂
Work was a lot of fun today- I got to assist two dance classes
saw a baby bunny
and got to hit up Eegee’s on my lunch break:
It’s BLAZING hot already (in the 100s) and a kid’s strawberry-lemon eegee was just what I wanted 🙂
More recent eats:
Smooooooothie
-frozen organic strawberries
-organic nanner and handful of spinach
-raw cacao powder
-1/2 pack of Vega smoothie infusion (I’m out of Sun Warrior –still!- so Vega is my second fave)
-1.5 C almond milk
Pickles and chocolate!!
Wouldn’t that be a fun name for a maternity store? You can steal it, haha.
It’s funny to post my eats right now since I haven’t been wanting vegetables AT ALL, but here’s what was in today’s lunch:
-pickles (of course)
-salt and vinegar pop chips (which aren’t nearly as delicious as the kettle kind)
-gluten-free bagel with goat cream cheese
-baby organic apricots
-hard ginger candies (for nausea)
and my new obsession:
Vosges. How did I live without it for so long? I had my first bar in Vegas and life hasn’t been the same since.
I didn’t realize until this morning that each of the mini bars were $4 that I bought.. for no kidding two bites of chocolate. It’s golden, really 🙂
To be honest, it’s been interesting to just go with the flow and eat what my body has been craving instead of what I usually enjoy (like salads, roasted veggies and quinoa dishes). I’m just gonna roll with it and hope that normalcy sets in one of these days. In the meantime I’ll be eating copious amounts of salt and vinegar chips I guess.
Bed is screaming my name 🙂

Not only did I have an insane dream, but (I work in property management) without fail I always get crazy resident complaints leading up to and on the day of the full moon. I go for weeks without one peep and then get slammed all at once. Eery, isn’t it?
I just had to tell you, there is actually a maternity store here in Colorado called “Pickles and Ice Cream”. Not quite the same as your cravings, but its too cute! 🙂
Smoothie in a mug–gotta love it.
Hey nothing wrong with pickles and chocolate. Pickles are veggies. I made your salad w/ the artichokes, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, etc. yesterday and put grilled salmon over it. It was wonderful.
that sounds lovely! maybe i’ll make a salad today… 🙂
Vosges is amazing! Try the Goji berry one, it is to die for….http://www.foodservicedirect.com/product.cfm/p/192899/Vosges-Haut-Chocolat-Goji-Bar-3-Ounce.htm
I didn’t know they had kettle versions of those chips! I really like the texture of those chips- better than fried chips!
Good for you for listening to your body! And I love seeing baby bunnies around here, except I quickly change my mind when they eat all my strawberries! HAHA!
they’re not kettle versions of popchips.. they’re the real, fried kettle chips. i like them so much better than the popchips, hah 😉
I had TOTALLY crazy dreams! I dreamed I was the photographer for a nice Asian family and their pets ?! What the ?? I couldn’t get the animals to hold still…. was very frustrating. hahaha
Me too! I’ve been having the craziest dreams. I’ve been married for 14 months now and I’ve recently have benn having wedding nightmares. The other night I dreamt that a little girl used my wedding dress as paper and drew all over it with a green marker. I was so upset I woke up crying (literally, in tears)! ugggh..
that’s a terrible dream!
My pregnancy diet was SO different. I really lost my taste for most veggies – except green beans. I still haven’t fully regained my former love of broccoli! I also craved pickles and salt and vinegar chips like MAD. Almost every day for lunch I’d eat a giant sandwich with copious amounts of mayo and pickles, salt and vinegar chips on the side. Yummmm!
that sounds AMAZING 🙂
Hi there! I was wondering where you find goat cream cheese or the brand you use? I always look for it but I never see it in the grocery store.
Thanks!

trader joes!
Hi there,
Love your blog (congrats on your fantastic news!). So sorry if you’ve already mentioned this, but where do you get your g-free bagels?
Thanks!
whole foods 🙂
Never steal a pregnant womans salt and vinegar or else lol! My friend and I when we were teens took some salt and vinegar chips not knowing they were her pregnant aunts who was in town opps, good thing the store was only a block away. I’m a pickle nut love them and always ask for extra on my sandwichs, I will have to buy huge jars when I’m pregnant and I always loved drinking pickle juice as a kid. that chocolate looks good.
hahah! that’s a good life lesson:never steal a pregnant woman’s chips
Laughing about the pickles. I crave them all the time and I’m not pregnant! We made our own recently and it was fun! (and sooo cheap!)
Gina! Where did you get those ginger candies? What brand are they? I need some over here… Thank you!
they’re from whole foods- i saw them up by the register 🙂 no idea what the brand is though :/
Your crazy dreams probably have more to do with your pregnancy than the full moon. I had crazy dreams in my first trimester and then they stopped after that. Google it. There’s info on it 😉
