Seriously, how did Martha manage to make wonderful gourmet meals when she was pregnant? Did she stock up on freezer foods? Have a personal chef? I know. She whipped up some gorgeous homemade hostess gifts and went door to door bartering her gifts and domestic skills in exchange for some grub.
Normally, I actually enjoy preparing dinner. I find delight in figuring out what meals to make. However, I am not enjoying it one bit right now. The smell of some foods can almost nauseate me, which makes cooking difficult considering I prepare a lot of stinky foods. Also, many of the “good for you” foods I have been eating (whole grains, salads, etc.) turn me off as well. And, lastly, nothing sounds/tastes good, so it’s hard to shop for meals ahead of time. As a result, we have been eating out much more than usual.
One of my girlfriend’s told me that she was told that at some point in time food takes on a whole new “flavor” when you are pregnant. I’ll let you know when I make that turn.
