Confessions of a Preggo Pescatarian

For over 10 years I've been a pretty good Pescatarian, meaning I don't eat meat but will eat seafood. I cheat occasionally for my weakness - carnitas- but otherwise am pretty good. I'm not perfect and it's an entirely personal decision that I don't push on anyone else including my kids and hubby. I happily make a pretty awesome meatloaf for my family (if I do say so myself!). And have tons of other meat recipes that I make without complaint. I don't eat them so I pester everyone for feedback at the table - Too salty? Overlooked? Needs more sauce? 

When I was pregnant with Logan I spent the first two weeks craving and eating cheese burgers. Then went back to my Pescatarian ways. With this pregnancy I find myself craving all kinds of different meats now that I've got the morning sickness under control in month 5!  

Chicken taquitos, beef soft tacos, cheeseburgers, roast beef sandwiches, etc. What's worse is that I have no desire to deny these cravings. Not even an inkling to say no. I'm not sure if it's the power of the craving (pregnancy cravings are no joke!), or if it's because I was so miserably sick for so long that I don't want to question wanting food now, or what!  In any case I am happily enjoying a  beef soft taco from Taco Bell now. I am just going to go with it for awhile and enjoy it! Maybe I will go vegan for awhile after I have the baby to make up for this...
