Green Cuisine
I had my strangest pregnancy craving yet over the weekend.
Remember when I wrote about the fresh cut grass and how good it smelled? Well this weekend, that crossed over to, "Can I eat that?" Seriously. I wanted to eat grass.
Fortunately for me, I remembered today that I can get wheatgrass shots at Jamba Juice. If you've never had a wheatgrass shot, just know that it tastes exactly like what a freshly mowed lawn smells like. And that was exactly what I've been wanting.
Later, we tried to figure out what the heck my body needs that is causing me to want to eat grass (or drink wheatgrass by the gallon). I looked it up on the internet and found out that wheatgrass has 23 amino acids, vitamin K, iron, folic acid, potassium, selenium, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
I also noticed that the best part of my dinner tonight was the raw spinach and the two pickles. Looks like I've entered my green phase.
