Pregnancy Cravings

I have been craving mexican food when I feel like eating at all.  Not a lot has sounded good to me, so when something does I try and find a way to have it. It seems like I eat little stuff all day long, mostly to keep something in my stomach so I am not dry heaving all the time, (I know WAY TMI) and as of my doctor's appointment yesterday I am still down a pound from my pre prego weight.  Well craving mexican food in Minnesota is not good, because there is NO WHERE to get good mexican food.  And I mean no where.  About three weeks ago I was craving a Cafe Rio pork salad and there is nothing that I could come up with that would be even close to that here.  Thanks to Jake I also know that the closest Cafe Rio is in Montana, a 15 hour drive from us.  Not exactly doable.  So I was stuck craving my salad.  My sweet sister in law came to the rescue with a  recipe for a mock Cafe Rio pork salad recipe, complete with meat, rice and creamy tomatillo dressing.  The only problem I totally didn't feel up to making it.  Finally on Monday I found the energy and desire to make the salad.  Oh, was it good!  I think next time I am going to change it up a little more to our tastes but it was good, and now I am not craving that dang salad anymore.

But I am definitely having the real thing later this summer when we are on vacation.
