I am trying to conceive and I was wondering what foods are good to eat when pregnant. There are so many restrictions on what you can and can’t eat so I was hoping some people might be willing to share their favourite Pregnancy Friendly recipes.

    Bear in mind that I’m part of the group of people who thinks nuts are fine when you’re pregnant. Not everyone agrees, but I personally don’t think they have a lot of hard facts to support their claims that it causes nut allergies in your children.

    I like grilled sunflower butter banana sandwiches on whole wheat. You slice the bananas and put them on one slice of whole wheat bread, sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar on top, spread sunflower butter on the other slice of whole wheat bread, put it together, butter the outside faces of the bread, then grill it just like grilled cheese. It was one of the high protein, high nutrient foods I could stand when I was queasy, besides being great comfort food.

    I’m also a big fan of alfredo sauce on whole wheat spaghetti. Whole grains + calcium is good stuff.

    There aren’t really a ton of restrictions on what you *can* eat, you just have to stay away from those fishes that are mercury risks, any soft cheese made with a visible mold like blue or brie, and any fish, meat, or egg that is raw or undercooked. And alcohol, of course.
