Be careful with the ice, I broke 2 teeth. My brother, the dentist, says, "Teeth are jewels, not tools." Hardy har har.

If you are truly hard core sour, a little dipping cup of citric acid mixed with salt 50/50 ratio, is great for dipping Jolly Ranchers and popsicles in.

Beware heartburn.

OK
Intuitive eating is such a funny thing for the way that our bodies really want to eat. Why can't we all just get along with our food?
fruit leather - sounds weird, totally natural and yum yum yummy. Kind of like a cross between dried fruit and a fruit roll up - only thicker. It's better than it sounds.
I am a huge fan of Skinny Cow ice cream treats. Not just the lower calorie count, but they are actually really good. That and Breyers Natural Vanilla - OK, so my ice cream palate isn't so adventurous. I used to love Hagen Daaz Rum Raisen, but I got a little sick of it...
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, all I wanted was pink food - pink milkshakes and pink ham sandwiches and pink fruit. My husband was really concerned about the ramifications of all the pink food if the babe had been a boy - dork. Now, I can't eat anything pink!
happy eating!

BIG fan!

2008-01-23T15:13:00.000-07:00

I did the ice cream-thing too, during pregnancy. However, I went to the BYU creamery one time (while pregnant) with some friends (double-date). They had me laughing so hard that I ended up seeing the ice cream again, when I threw up all over the BYU parking lot.

So....
Ice cream + pregnant = GOOD
Ice cream + pregnant + laughing really hard over an extended period of time = BAD (but so worth it!)

I have made a list of things I am going to try. I will have to do an updated post.

P.S. Jennifer B. You are so kind to look out for me! I only eat ice because it keeps me hydrated. I don't really crave it. I had my iron checked and all looked A OKAY! But you are good to suggest because my sisters are prone to have low iron.

2008-01-23T05:40:00.000-07:00

I was going to suggest Eliane's for baguettes, and Crumb Bros. for amazingly good artisan bread if you have a Logan connection, but those have already been preached. Amen, sisters!

If you haven't tried the key lime tarts and the dark chocolate-dipped macaroons at Kneader's, you and the Chief just ain't lived yet.

2008-01-22T23:43:00.000-07:00

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but if you're craving ice, you may be low on iron. It' true.

And Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter cereal is fun for a change. (Plus I think it has iron--just watching out for you cjane!)

2008-01-22T22:29:00.000-07:00

I second the Cracklin' Oat Bran suggestion. Yes, it may indeed resemble dog food in appearance, but oh how it tastes like Oatmeal Cookies! I love that stuff dry too. Perfect snack, and fiber to boot, who could ask for more?

2008-01-22T21:37:00.000-07:00

It really was celestial meeting you at Target. We were gonna go up to Park City, but I think you just filled my celebrity quota for the year.

When I was pregnant last summer, I went to every Sonic in Utah County to buy a bag of their ice, but all of them said they couldn't because their machines were "overworked." That ticked me off. I think you already are doing the Sonic ice thing, though. Yum.

2008-01-22T21:27:00.000-07:00

Here are the champions of my world: Little Debbie Nutty Bars (peanut butter!) and Frosted Mini-Wheats with very cold milk, but don't let them sit too long-you want that wheaty crunch! Also, the Rosemary and Something bread from Costco (in a two-pack) is fabulous and freezes well.

2008-01-22T21:03:00.000-07:00

I am so in love with peanut butter cereal. My two favorites are Peanut Butter Bumpers and Peanut Butter Puffins - both probably sold at Good Earth.

(I don't let myself purchase either very often because I usually end up going through an entire box in two days. Or, if I'm being totally honest, sometimes slightly less than two days . . .)

when up in salt lake city, hit Ruth's diner up immigration canyon and have their creme brulee AND their homemade pudding. amazing amazing. also, betty crocker turtle brownies should be consumed in large quantities.
fruit leathers from costco are wonderful.

2008-01-22T18:57:00.000-07:00

I have no idea why my body is telling me to bake a scratch cake everyday, I don't even like cake, nor am I pregnant. It is winter though and that alone produces some unpredictable eating for sure.

I am only an expert on one of your requests and it is the bestest and best for you cereal. I get it either at the health food store or Costco (which is mucho cheaper). Write this down girl!

Natures Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola (with 400 mg omega'3's to boot! But why such a long name?)

You are going to thank me I promise!

Hmmm... I bet I could make this into a granola bar! Or better yet a cake!!!!!!!!

2008-01-22T17:42:00.000-07:00

I can't believe no one has mentioned Breyers new ice cream - Fried Ice Cream. It's low fat too, so at 4g per serving I don't feel guilty about it.

I also love the Oh's, but my fave is Special K Fruit and Yogurt.

Ditto on the Fiber One bars. I like the chocolate and oats because I'm anti peanut butter.

I have never believed in LABELED EATING. OR DIETING. Your body will tell you what you need.

2008-01-22T16:28:00.000-07:00

Mortonfam mentioned the world's best fruit snack, but I think they're by Florida's Natural? They are hard to come by, but if you see them buy in bulk! Best flavor is the blueberry nuggets and at only 30 calories a pack, you can load up. I can't find them here in Logan, poor me.
Sweet & Salty peanut granola bars really are wonderful.
We have a bakery here called Crumb Brothers which also distributes to Wild Oats in Salt Lake and they have a seeded baguette which is lusciously crunchy and covered with poppy and fennel seeds, slap a hunk of brie inside and float away.
Right now there is a special edition of Dreyers 1/2 fat for American Idol that is chocolate with oreos in it. I actually didn't believe my husband that it was lowfat.
My saving pregnancy food was crispy gingersnaps which are delicious and eased my naseau with it's gingeryness.

2008-01-22T15:36:00.000-07:00

Cold Cereal: Cracklin' Oat Bran! Those senior citz really know something about regularity. Don't let the demographic fool you, they are tasty as the day is long. They make you feel as though you are eating some kind of granola too.

Fruit snacks: Jury is still out. If I could find a brand that does not stick to my kids teeth for time and all eternity I just might endorse it.

Ice cream: I'm a sucker for Baskin & Robbins Peanut Butter and Chocolate and Jamoca Almond Fudge. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm me likey.

Sour Candy: Lemon Heads. In moderation otherwise my teeth hurt.

I'm confused...do you eat chicken now?

2008-01-22T15:28:00.000-07:00

Dairy Queen has some good ice cream. peanut butter cup blizzard w/extra pbc is the best way to go.

If you are in the STG area for any food I reccomend Marv's or Frostop. Picadilly chips are so the way to go. But you must have Fry sauce with them.

2008-01-22T14:56:00.000-07:00

I am baffled that no one mentioned Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee ice cream. THAT is amazing shiz. I dare you not to eat the whole thing.

Fruit Snacks: Let's not be silly- Gushers for that juicy goodness and wretched artificial flavoring that unfortunantly tastes so good.

Cereal: I don't know when Utah is going to wise up and get Trader Joe's, but once they do, get yourself some Vanilla Almond Granola. The Maple Pecan is great too.

Granola Bars: (I actually just typoed "granola bras". Wonder what that is like.) Skip granola bars. They aren't even that great to begin with.

Sour Candy: Azucar hit it right on. Altoid Sour Tangerine thingys are great. And they come in a cute little tin and fit in your scripture bag. Especially handy for High Council Sunday.
