Food that kept me alive and nutrition-ed in these months of pregnancy::

1) Spinach smoothie: Add any fruit I can get my hands on; strawberry, grapes, apple, banana, orange; Add spinach and one tsp of agave nectar and blend thoroughly. Add few cubes of ice or chilled water.. You have the perfect recipe to combat summer during pregnancy.
2) Sangeetha Restaurant: Its as-if that guy opened to cater to my pregnancy requirements. Only place whose food did not unsettle me, even let me overeat without trouble.
3) Vegetable fried rice
4) Kichdi: Dal and mixed vegetable rice
5) Midnight snack: Bananas, glass of milk, dinner left-overs, raw carrots,
6) Pasta: Thanks to my friend and her husband, I found that I could eat pasta without any trouble and soon had my shelf lined up with Organic pasta sauces from whole foods. Add few vegetables, pasta sauce and whole wheat pasta, viola..!! Nutritious food ready to be eaten under 15 mins. This saved me many a fainting spells in my second trimester, as I used to go from slightly hungry to ravenous in matter minutes multiple times through the day.
7) Tomato Chutney and Narthanga pickle: My first trimester I survived wholly on these two items. Without them I shudder to imagine the spells of nausea and vomiting that would have followed.
