Topic: Pronoun

What cravings do you get? Yesterday I had a great craving for broccoli, just had to have some so I bought a bunch at the store and made cheese sauce and that was supper. Sometimes I crave fresh green beans. They must be fresh. I often get cravings for fresh vegetables. And ever since I quit smoking I have chocolate cravings. I eat two diet fudgicles every day. I wonder what causes these cravings.

My hubby is fruit crazy. We buy fruit nearly every day, whatever is in season or on sale. He eats about six fruit a day(apples, oranges, bananas etc.) at least. I tell him he's part ape, lol - Pronoun

When I get a craving it is usually for potato chips.  I love chips and don't eat them very often.  The ones I crave the most are Cape Cod Chips and they are no longer sold in my area, so that helps me not give in.  I rarely crave vegetables as others do, maybe since I eat them almost every day.  I never crave chocolate, perhaps because I only marginally enjoy it.

The problem which chips is its hard to have just a couple! Around here we have Old Dutch chips. I've had friends who've moved away and every time they return for a visit they load up on Old Dutch chips to take home - Pronoun

That is a big problem with chips, especially the really good ones. I also like Zapps but I have never seen them in my area. rushlan

Pringles, origianl flavor are THE best in MHO. But watermelon and cantelope have been luring me in lately. It is so good this time of year. -cook

Rushlan didn't we talk about Cape Cod Robust Russett chips before? If it was not you, then try them. They are dark and so delicious. Have you looked online to see if Cape Cod is sold anywhere in your area? //S'mom

Yes we have talked about them before and I have tried the ones you refer to. My favorite is the sea salt and cracked pepper. Alas, this brand is not sold in the state of Washington, according to their website. I can order them and have them shipped, and I might do that later in the year. rushlan

I did too.  I am midwest raised where there was always 2 vegetables minimum with any meal.  I particularly like green ones and have been eating Broccoli every other day lately. Spinach too, cooked or raw. I also crave Squash and Sweet potatoes.

I would take these over anything sweet any time.

I have only had sweet potatoes (yams?) once in my life. I didn't like them but it was years ago and I think I actually made them which might account for why I didn't like them, lol. I have had sweet potato french fries and I love those!

I crave vegetables a lot, too.  And crunchy food.  I rarely add salt to my food so I sometimes will crave salt.

I'm not much of a salt person either. For years we didn't even have a salt shaker, lol. It drove my Dad nuts so one Christmas he bought me a salt shaker - Pronoun

I was told by a doctor once, a long time ago, that if you are craving salt it means your body needs the sodium. I have no idea how true that is, but it makes sense to me. rushlan

I've heard that too - Pronoun
