I've had a rough food day today guys... Well it started with last night's dinner...
It sure does look delicious huh. It's a chicken broccoli lasagna recipe I found here.
It was terrible. Ok maybe not terrible. It wasn't what I wanted it to be. I just needed to make a few adjustments. I wanted something creamy. This was not. As I was making the sauce I noticed the recipe said "custard". Custard? Really? I ended up making a custard...
Instead of a sauce... But that's what the recipe called for. It had really great flavor but the texture was SO weird because of that custard. ONE good thing though... I made custard! I've never done that before and I've heard it can be hard.
I did eat my whole piece plus another lovely salad.
(Spring mix, trail mix, feta, and maple fig dressing)
This morning I had a doctor appointment. The husband was able to go... Thankfully! BUT he got to pick breakfast...
Obviously, my healthy eating habits haven't rubbed off on the husband too much. That would be a Chick-fil-a biscuit and hashbrowns. I've been craving a chicken biscuit which is odd (pregnancy?) because I don't like fried chicken.
Note to self: Just because I'm craving it doesn't mean it's any good. The biscuit was blah. Totally not worth the splurge.
I also had an orange juice...
I hate orange juice... Any guesses as to why I'd be drinking it? It's appointment related and you'll find out why tomorrow :)
When we got back from the appointment I had a KILLER headache. We did lunch out too but I had a salad. At least I tried to get some veggies in.
I did learn today that a handful of chocolate chips...
Does NOT resolve a headache!
However...
A homemade smore does!
Do you guys ever do that? Try to remedy something with food? I swear everytime I have a headache I would die for a piece of chocolate. Even though it doesn't fix anything. I also want a cup of strong regular coffee for my headaches. Maybe it's the caffiene?
Also! Don't forget to enter the book giveaway! It ends Saturday!

Mmmm... homemade s'mores! :D
Just blame it all on pregnancy cravings and enjoy every bite, I say! As long as it's not an everyday thing, once in a while can't hurt.
I don't usually drink caffeine, but I find it helps when I have a headache.
You're having a GIRL! That is my guess on wanting the juice. :D Or you had to have your glucose test done, but then you wouldn't have been eating anything. So, yep. I guess a girl.
I haven't had a CFA Chicken biscuit in so long. I remember them being really good, but maybe they aren't so much. I bet my tastes have changed (matured) so they aren't all that anymore. Sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for...like the lasagna.
I think coffee / caffeine helps allieviate headches. I think it is because the caffeine restricts blood vessels, but I don't know much more beyond that. :(
I noticed that whenever I have a bad day I head for Diet Coke, which is something I try to avoid because of the artificle sweetners, but I just can't help it - it makes me feel better.
I like a good caffeine fix for pain. Darkest chocolate does it for me. And it's often just what I'm looking for.
Chickfila and SMores in one day = heaven!
As a side, I cannot do chocolate of any kind to resolve a headache due to migraines (it increases them), so for a caffeine fix I have a coffee or Diet Coke w/Splenda.
i always turn to food to cure migraines. i always think its a hunger issue, but then when im done stuffing my face, the migraine is still there, so that was a total waste...
I love chick fil a biscuits but haven't had one in forever!! Andrew was a cook at a CFA in high school and so he knows how to make 'em. He actually made homemade CFA biscuits (gluten free) for us a couple summers ago. They were amazing!!
I always crave a massive diet coke when I have a headache.
Sorry about dinner...it's so frustrating when a recipe doesn't turn out as expected. I usually find that caffeine helps my headaches too for some reason.
Hmm...orange juice...did you have an ultrasound and wanted that little bean to be moving around more???
I always crave chocolate when I'm sick too...which is why I'm enjoying some now! Glad the appointment went well, I'm curious to hear about the OJ!
When I have a headache I don't crave food...I crave a nap! I am curious as to why you need to drink OJ!!
I think caffeine is always good for a headache!
Hey! I'm glad you liked my post..and found by blog because I LOVE yours as well! :) I love what you wrote about the lasagna! Made me smile! :) Totally something I would say about a recipe that didn't measure up! ;) Also, I gotta say, my husband and I dated for 8 yrs before we got married, (we were HS sweethearts) and I STILL haven't rubbed off him, so I feel ya there! :) Look forward to chatting/reading more in the future!
I know what the orange juice was for! I hope it worked :)
I know why you drank the juice! Can't wait for your next post! :) :) :) :)
I was taught to remedy situations with food, so even though I know better now, it's still a struggle, especially now that I'm pregnant. Sometimes I feel like I deserve the splurge, but afterwards I don't feel any better.
oh man I could snack on graham crackers all day long! SO tasty!
I don't know what hte juice would be for--I'll be tuning in to here!
Politics:- Ohhhh This really very nice I cannot do chocolate of any kind to resolve a headache due to migraines so for a caffeine fix. I remember them being really good, but maybe they aren't so much. I bet my tastes have changed matured so they aren't all. I head for Diet Coke, which is something I try to avoid because of the artificle sweetners thanks medical school.
mmmm...that s'mores looks really good right about now. whenever i have a stomach ache or indigestion i always turn to gingerale. and because i'm so addicted to pop, during my pregnancy i would drink that over coke. now i'm just back to coke....sigh. it's amazing the will power a Mom can have when it comes to the health of her baby huh?
