Easter is fast approaching and I don't know what to shop for. Not that we're religious or anything but this was our Easter last year.

Oysters, prawns, Balmain bugs, scallops 🤤

And this..

Mussels in white wine garlic sauce. 🤤

And this..

Boiled crabs. 🤤

And this..

Brazilian Fish Stew (Moqueca Baiana) 🤤

And it was a damn good Easter.

We feasted for almost a week on our seafood haul (according to my phone gallery anyway) and I remember around that time my body felt like it was breaking. As in bones crumbling, stomach pains, couldn't move and I willed myself to prepare all that food. I'm glad I did because miraculously, a day or two in, I felt much better.

This year though.... Being preggo...

Here's the problem with the information age..

There's just so much information going around on everything especially when it comes to what pregnant women should and shouldn't be eating.

I've done a lot of reading, have been given advice by our local health food store to eat salmon, Hubby says "No Shellfish", some people say avoid seafood altogether ~ I even hit up my Facebook brains trust and they can't agree either.

😭😭😭😭

I think if we didn't have such an awesome seafood fiesta last year I wouldn't be craving seafood right now, but you guys... It was all tasty as.f.. Legit so damn good I'm dead set salivating over the thought of it.

So what now?!

Well, considering it's been a very summery autumn so far and Anzac Day is on the same week as Easter I'm thinking lamb on the barbie might be in order this year. That and pasta, maybe some soup, definitely lots of fruit and Easter eggs.

Thank God for Easter eggs!!
If I'm not meant to be eating Easter eggs please don't tell me!! I just cannot deal with another 🚫

It's a far cry from last year's seafood splendour, but I reckon at this stage it's better to be safe than sorry, especially when I'm pretty sure I'm still paying for the toxic mothballs smell from days ago.

Ladies... Did you eat seafood while you were pregnant? How'd you go?

I've had salmon twice now and both times it was 'Eh'. My tastebuds just weren't into it so I'm taking that as a NO for salmon from here on in.

And while we're talking food, what were you craving the most when you were pregnant? I'd love to know!

Have a great Wednesday peeps!!
