Pregnancy Craving Creations

I've honestly been a bit disappointed not to have really weird pregnancy cravings. I think I have craved weirder things in other phases of my life than in the past nine months. For example, one of my favorite snacks as a kid was a banana cut down the center long ways, slathered with one layer of peanut butter and then one layer of mayonnaise. While I eat banana with peanut butter nearly nightly lately, the thought of adding mayo on there absolutely sickens me - what was I thinking? ew. But while I don't think they're all that weird, I have come up with two snacks that I attribute to pregnancy hormones:

1) Toasted wheat bread, neufchatel cheese spread across the toast, slices of avocado layered on top with a sprinkling of lemon juice and salt and pepper. Not only was this surprisingly yummy, but it covered my grains, dairy, and fruits all in one snack :) I was a bit nervous the first time I was attempting it - but found I had to share more than I would have preferred with my husband who loved it as much as I did, not just a pregnancy delight I guess!

2) Nilla-Sandwiches: two Nilla wafers, one slathered on the flat side with peanut butter, the other slathered on the flat side with Nutella, put your wafers together and yum! again - had to share more with Manny than my selfish heart desired . . . good thing for I love him so much and love to make him happy ;)

I wish a bag of potato chips counted as a "creation" but there's no way I can figure out how to make that argument . . . but there just hasn't been a day of my pregnancy when I would have turned down an offer of a good greasy handful. Don't worry, I have kept that craving at bay for the most part, but this has involved some serious self-discipline on occasion!
