The Bed Rest Chronicles continue:
I am not sure if it is the bed rest, the pregnancy, or the combination...but I've been thinking about food all day. Tell me this happens to you all the time and its not just me. How about this, between friends, I'll share my list if you share yours:
1) Coffee Frappuchino - Technically this craving started yesterday...or maybe it started at the beginning of May when Starbucks offered Frappuchino Happy Hour. Anyway, Doesn't a *decaf* Coffee Frappuchino sound like equal parts refreshing and delicious?
2) Peaches...to be specific: Texas Peaches...to be even more specific: Cooper's Farm Texas Peaches. Their peaches are the best. (Sorry Georgia. Your peaches just don't cut it for my taste buds) This morning after my normal breakfast of almond butter toast, I started thinking about fruit. I wanted a mango but they weren't quite ripe yet. Darn mangoes. So I moved on to the peaches. They were ripe and good but not Texas peaches. I started wondering if I could talk this kid into being born during prime peach season so that perhaps my mom could bring me a peach or two....or a box when she comes to visit Baby Joey. I know, I know, if you had a nickel for every time a person gave peaches as a baby gift.
3) Hot Fudge Sunday - With extra fudgey hot fudge. I've really had a hankerin' for chocolate. Chocolate covered almonds would be wonderful as well. I wouldn't turn down a gooey fudge Sunday...or a Cannoli...This is really a brainstorming exercise.
4) Blackberries - Its summer...or summerish - Blackberries are a must. I can eat them by the carton. A couple weeks ago, Josh brought home a carton of sweet, juicy blackberries from Whole Foods, I was going to eat a couple and...well...I tried to hide the empty carton under other items in the recycling bin. You know what they say, bury the evidence.
5) Shipley's Doughnuts - We live in Boston. People around here think Dunkin Doughnuts is amazing and I suppose they are if you like frozen, preservative laden, prepackaged, doughnut like products. Those us from Texas know that Shipley's Doughnuts are where the doughnut goodness is created. They are warm and gooey and melt-in-your-mouth fresh. I have Whitney to thank for the doughnut cravings today. She started it with an instagram picture of coffee and doughnuts. Darn you Whitney.
6) Watermelon - Speaking of Summer. I am ready for summer watermelon. I wasn't a fan growing up but the last few summers I haven't able to get enough watermelon. Plus, Maria makes eating watermelon for all three meals completely acceptable. She's the best.
Oh my goodness, DD donuts are gross...you have to go to little mom and pop shops for some real ones. But their coffee is great! (I live about an hour southeast from Boston).
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen!
DeleteI have never tried DD's coffee. Before pregnancy, when I was a coffee drinker, I would stop at a Starbucks in a pinch since I knew they had coffee that was strong and tasted good black. (We are one of those coffee households). Mostly we brew at home. I will have to keep DDs in mind for those post baby coffee emergencies.
