Now that the nausea has abated I find myself hungry all the time. And don't get me started with cravings!! Cheese, Spanish cured meats and pizza are my main cravings. Of course pregnant women can't eat cured meats, so I haven't but I did try to reintroduce cheese in my diet. I thought maybe my body was trying to tell me something and I did give lactose free cheese and yogurts a go, with quite a bit of an upset tummy as a result. I also ate a few pizzas. Not gluten free, not cheese free. Nope, the full Monty. When my other half told me "you are going to feel sick and nauseous anyway, so give yourself a treat" who was I to disagree...
My cravings for cheese have subside a little but not my cravings for pizza. I'm also very constipated. I have tried kiwis and fresh orange juice, any suggestions, please?
This recipe was another one of my cravings. We had a few hot days over here and I was really in the mood for this cold salad. Green beans aren't in the original recipe but most people make their own way, some add peas, onions, peppers, capers... It's a great summer salad. I cooked the potatoes, carrots and green beans the day before and put the dish together the following day. I didn't measure anything so the quantities are approximate.
Ingredients:
- 3 big potatoes, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- a handful of green beans, chopped finely
- 1x185g can tuna flakes, drained
- 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 tin green olives with anchovies, sliced
- mayonnaise
Method:
Cook the vegetables until tender but not mushy. The potatoes need to hold their shape. Let them cool completely. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. I use around 1/4 cup of mayonnaise but I would add a little at the time to suit your taste. Serve chilled.
If serving in a tray or dish you could add a little extra mayo on top to smooth the surface and decorate with boiled egg slices, olives and anchovies.
