Thanks to all of you for the ideas. I do buy organic turkey breast and usually have this for lunch every other day. I also bake and rely on the bananna bread for breakfast. I also eat applesauce as one of many snacks as well as rice chex with soy milk and strawberries chopped up. I guess I am just frustrated because I need to snack fairly often (including the middle of the night- I'm now waking up with intense hunger pains) due to the pregnancy, and I'm sick of applesauce, banannas, and hummus. I used to rely so much on dairy, and now without it I'm having a difficult time filling those slots. I also want to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients that I need for the baby, although when I'm pooping my brains out I doubt I'm retaining much, so it's a strange balancing that I'm trying to figure out.
I haven't been "stable" since early February!!! I can barely remember what it was like to not have D or C but just go to the bathroom in the morning like a normal person and then get on with my day, so I am committed now to avoiding triggers and doing everything I can (yoga, hypnosis cds, acacia, even have an appointment with a shrink who specializes in pregnancy and anxiety) but I am a big food lover and so emotionally this is really becoming difficult for me to restrict my diet so much during a time when I am naturally hungry all the time. Anyhow, I will definitely buy the earth balance spread and try the egg whites, but I don't think I can get into baby food  . I am not working or in school (I was in school but had to take incompletes b/c my D was so bad that I couldn't go anywhere for a couple of months) so I have time to focus on taking care of myself these days. Cooking is a good way to fill the time.
I'll check out the recipe board for more ideas too- you guys are really a bunch of life savers, thanks so much
