I haven't had many food cravings or bizarre food aversions during my pregnancy. You won't catch me dipping dill pickles in vanilla ice cream, but there have been a few things that have sounded gotta-have-it-right-now delicious over the past few months.
During my first trimester, I couldn't get enough Posados flour tortillas. I wanted them every night, dripping with warm butter, my tool of choice for scooping up heaps of salsa. This craving was especially weird since I normally hate the sight, smell and taste of everything at Posados.
There was a hamburger phase. It's rare for me to eat a burger, and I never crave them, but I think at some point I polished off about three in one week.
My husband regularly catches me with the fridge door open, fishing out green olives from the glass jar.
After a little piece last night and another little piece this morning (breakfast of champions), this sheet cake is curing my latest craving. Even if you're not expecting and you simply classify yourself as a peanut butter lover, this sheet cake is a wonderful, tasty PB delight.

Have you tried the pretzel squares filled with peanut butter from Sams? They are REALLY good. Gotta love some green olives!!:)
UHMM this sounds yummy!!!bring me a piece of this for the car ride tomorrow, PLEASE!
I have been looking everywhere for those pretzels filled with peanut butter!!! The grocery store only has the pretzel sandwich type and those aren't the same. Get a girl a tub of those on your next trip to Sams.
I'll pack you a tupperware container for the ride tomorrow! We'll need some snacks along the way!
Will do! I have some at my house right now!!
