I am having the time of my life right now trying to figure out what to eat next. Everything seems just to be turning my stomach and I'm such a picky eater. Anything with spaghetti sauce, spicy foods, foods with vinegar, deli meats, are making me sick to my stomach. What recipes could I make that are good for me, they don't need to be 100% healthy, I'm just looking for average country cooked meals. I am not an eater for seafood or red meats (steaks, ribs, etc). I do LOVE potatoes, if that helps........
I need snack, lunch and dinner ideas.
Thanks.

anything good to eat if you have nausea?
Answer
I loved anything with vinegar on it. I found myself eating salads at 9am.
During my morning sickness days, I mainly craved citrus and watermelon. I found if I listened to my cravings and ate what appealed to me I wouldn't be as sick. Saltine crackers, ginger altoids and real ginger ale (the kind that actually contains ginger) helped my nausea. As well as protein shakes, I use to make a homemade shake with berries, yogurt and a little protein powder.
