Brussel Sprouts

I am craving brussel sprouts pretty often now. I have always loved brussel sprouts and gwangi makes them so very well, even though he doesn't love them as much as I do.

I remember when I was a kid and my mom would make brussel sprouts and she would have to divide them up for us because we would fight over them. I think it is because they were mini food. Plus she knew how to make them without overcooking them.

Now I am sitting at my desk thinking about how delicious they are. I would go to the store and buy some but I don't think my coworkers would like it if I made them in the break room microwave. I guess I can wait until I get home to eat them. Plus the streamer basket is easier to cook in than the microwave.

Mmm...

Food

So, morning sickness? Mostly gone. Yay!

Heartburn? Okay if I avoid some foods and take medication if it gets bad.

Hopefully this means I will stop losing weight (I am down 18 pounds!) and will start gaining again.

However, I still can't eat much in one sitting. If I don't eat every couple of hours I get that weird jittery feeling that happens when you haven't eaten in a while. So I need more snacking stuff. I still have a food aversion to meat or anything really fatty. However, tuna is okay. Any suggestions? Brussel sprouts aren't going to give me enough calories. Ha!

Also, I was thinking about making smoothies. I am not usually one to drink/eat them but it might be a good way to get some healthy calories into me while I drive to work. Any one ever do this before? Just an FYI, orange juice is out. The other option is to talk Amy into going to Jamba Juice one day.
