I don't know about cravings, but there are a few things that sound good to me just about all the time:
1.
First and foremost, ICE. I could care less what I am drinking, since I kicked (or drastically cut back) on my diet coke intake towards the beginning of my pregnancy, and got rid of carbonation all together in the second trimester thanks to some extraordinary heartburn. . . as long as there is ice for me to chew on I am one happy camper. I am literally Obsessed with it, but annoy everyone around me when I crunch on it.
2.
Hearts of Palm. This weird food sounded good to me when nothing else did during the first and second trimester. I found out that the only really good store bought kind comes from Trader Joe's. It is especially good in salads.
3.
Hot Chocolate. This is a new development, since the temperature in Las Vegas just dipped below 100 degrees. I loved sipping on this stuff more than usual when I was in Alaska.
4.
Soup. This is not a new development, I have wanted hot soup all summer long even when the temperature was over 110 degrees outside. My favorites are Broccoli Cheddar from Panera Bread and Tomato from Nordstrom cafe. If you haven't tried these, do so.
5.
Humus and Pita Bread. This combo rocks, seriously give it a try.
So for all you pregnant ladies out there, I recommend you give these random things a whirl. . . they might just make you feel a little better!

I totally feel you on the tomato basil soup. I want zuppas all the time.
I love humus and soup sounds good too. I am not into chewing ice though, sorry. Pregnancy is so weird. I don't know if I very stoked about it.
I totally hear you on the ice. Someone told me it meant a slight iron deficiency but I loved chewing ice too. Just make sure you throw in some extra leafy greens and beet juice works too. I still loved chewing ice though. Mostly at the end of my pregnancies though. Alex thought I was weird too. But I heard that chewing hard things actually increases bone density too and so it keeps your gums and teeth healthier that way. I myself actually bought what is called a jawcerciser. It's like a chewing toy for adults but I loved it. Anyways, good luck with everything. And I'm so jealous of your trip to Alaska. I so want to visit there someday. :)
