I am very prone to craving foods and that’s what I’m taking this Day 9 to mean! Once I crave something, nothing will usually sate my appetite. Strangely during pregnancy I think I craved things less strongly than in my bump-free state! I have been known, on multiple occasions, to make a trip out to get something I really want to eat. Recently I have taken Little H on a walk to get an iced bun from the baker, a vanilla milkshake from Caffé Nero and to Morrisons to buy bags of Veggie Straws so H could eat them and I could pinch some! I have short-term cravings and then I have a couple of permanent cravings
Current Craving: Loacker Coconut wafers
I discovered these Loacker wafers in the cafe in my office. I wanted a sweet snack with a cup of tea but I didn’t want a cake which is the only other offering during the day time. I love coconut and decided to give these a try. They are DELISH! They also sell them in Caffé Nero (but not the coconut flavour in our local) and the vanilla are equally as tasty. They also got the thumbs up from Little H who munched a single wafer (the pack is 8 mini wafers) after a buggy nap!
Current Craving: Crosta and Mollica Grissini Breadsticks
I’ve mentioned Crosta and Mollica in my July Five Favourite Finds post. Back then my craving was the Grissini Breads. Then I discovered the Breadsticks and I got hooked on those instead. Unfortunately my local Waitrose is currently out of stock so I am struggling through and hoping they’ll have them again soon!
Permanent Craving: TEA!
Oh my goodness, I love tea. I luxuriate in my first hot cuppa of the day after breakfast once the tidying-up is done or I’ve made it successfully to work. I’m verging on addicted to tea but on holidays abroad (where decent tea is typically less easy to get hold of) I have coped for a large portion of the day with no major side-effects. There is something delightful about tea – it’s a warm and comforting drink. When I was pregnant I went-off tea. I always wondered how I’d cope limiting my intake but my body took care of it for me. I didn’t miss the drink (it made me feel a bit nauseous) but I missed the comfort and having a hot drink to enjoy in the evening.
Permanent Craving: My Little H
This should be an obvious one. Even when she’s being a little terror, I can’t get enough of that little girl (well as long as she naps and goes to sleep on time!)

I’m totally the same crave all the time! During pregnancy, not so much bad stuff! My body wanted salad and chicken! Weird I know! Chocolate any day, any time! Thanks for linking up to #familyfun

My friend is like that with chocolate! Made her a choc cake for brekkie as a treat once and she was in her element! x
Those coconut wafers sound amazing. They’d be right up street! I constantly crave chocolate…and wine… or coffee. Hmm not great cravings eh. I love that you added H at the end there was a lovely touch. Thank you for sharing this with us at #familyfun xx
Even when drives me mad, I’m hooked on that little person! But those coconut wafers are SO good. If you see them, definitely give them a try!!! (They do chocolate filled ones too 😉 )
I am so with you on the tea! The worst thing was, when I was pregnant, I couldn’t face tea for four months – now back on it with a vengeance! My daughter and I both love breadsticks too #fortheloveofBLOG
Haha that’s how I was. Hours after giving birth I suddenly wanted tea again. I waited until home though so I could have a proper brew! Thanks for reading x
Tea is also a permanant craving of mine lol. I don’t really crave anything else.

Nice to hear you and so many others crave tea in a world that feels dominated by coffee now! Thanks for reading x
I was gutted I never had any cravings with either of my pregnancys. The best thing about not being pregnant was drinking a nice cup of tea again. #kcacols
Yes I really relished my tea again after pregnancy! Thanks for reading x
There’s nothing quite like a cup of tea, made the way you like it! Must check out those wafers. They look gooood! #KCACOLS

Definitely try the wafers! Thanks for stopping by x
Sugar – I crave that all the time!! Also didn’t get that much craving with pregnancy which I felt a bit hard done about – I wanted some weird and wonderful ones! #KCACOLS

Yes, I was expecting a weird craving but just seemed to stop eating things. Felt like a missed opportunity! Thanks for commenting x
I could not get by without tea, I love the stuff apart from when I’m hungover. It was really difficult switching to decaf when I was pregnant. It’s funny how we would go out of way to get something we crave. I often have a craving for breadsticks and philadelphia. Thanks so much for linking up at #fortheloveofBLOG. Claire x

I think I’m happier I went off tea during pregnancy than having to switch to decaf. That must have been a bit traumatic because it really isn’t as good! Mmmm, breadsticks and philadelphia sound yummy. Quite fancy that now too! Thanks for reading x
What a great idea for a challenge! When I was pregnant, I craved salty chips and milkshakes (we didn’t know we were pregnant at the time and it was very odd!). #MarvMondays

Mmmm, they are great cravings! I quite fancy a milkshake now 🙂 Thanks for reading x
Im pretty sure we could be twins! I am really similar when it comes to cravings. Once I get a fancy for something I obssess about it and usually end up finding a way to get it. I love coconut so I must try those wafers, and my tea obsessesion definitely gets out of hand at times. I went right off it when pregnant like you, but missed the comfort of it first and last thing in the day which I’m making up for now 😉 Thanks for linking up to #MarvMondays. Emily
Well if you love coconut then you must try those wafers! I had some yesterday with a cup of tea incidentally. Lovely! Glad you are making up for lost cuppas now the little man is here. Thanks for reading x
I crave things too and those coconut wafers look good. Thanks for linking up to #KCACOLS Hope to see you back next Sunday!
