At The Top Of Her List,

While Joanna Gaines has been relatively quiet about her pregnancy, she has had a hard time keeping her pregnancy cravings to herself. In fact, the soon-to-be mom of five has taken to social media, as well as her blog, to voice a number of different foods she — and Chip — can’t stop thinking about.

From the one food that settles her cravings (page 5) to her current must-have breakfast beverage (page 9), we share the random foods Joanna Gaines is craving most during her pregnancy — plus, Chip’s sympathy cravings (page 12) — ahead. Joanna Gaines has had a lot of random cravings. Joanna Gaines has had her fair share of random late-night cravings. The Fixer Upper star took to Instagram to share some of these cravings and included popular breakfast item, Fruity Pebbles in the mix.

Next: We want her recipe for this one. She’s been craving some chicken spaghetti. Another late-night craving Joanna shared with followers: chicken spaghetti. We’re not exactly sure what recipe she is referring to, but her version is probably delicious (and hopefully included in her new cookbook, Magnolia Table). Next: She’s also craving cheese.

She loves these sandwiches. In addition to Fruity Pebbles and chicken spaghetti, Joanna has also admitted to craving pimento cheese sandwiches. Made with sharp yellow cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, pimientos, onion, mustard, and cayenne pepper, the spicy cheese sandwich may sound strange, but it’s actually delicious. She’s craving this appetizer. Another random late-night craving, Deviled eggs. Made by removing the yolks from hard-boiled eggs and mashing them with mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, and spices, we don’t blame her for craving the tasty appetizer.

Next: The one salad dressing she can’t get enough of. She probably can use the dressing on lots of things. Let’s be honest: Ranch dressing tastes good on pretty much anything (OK, maybe not everything, but close enough). So, it’s no wonder it’s one of Joanna’s top pregnancy cravings. Next: How she curbs her cravings.

She uses her own recipe for fresh cookies. Despite listing off her random late night pregnancy cravings, Joanna didn’t give into any of them — not because she had the willpower, but because she didn’t have the ingredients. That said, she did happen to have ingredients for homemade chocolate chip cookies on hand.

Instead of stuffing her face with pimiento cheese sandwiches and deviled eggs, she made a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies using the recipe from her new cookbook. Next: She’s also craving items from her restaurant, Magnolia Table. She’s obsessed with the Magnolia pancakes. In a Magnolia blog post, Joanna shared some of her current Magnolia Table pregnancy cravings. At the top of her list, The Pancake Breakfast. The buttermilk pancakes come with two eggs any style, thick cut peppered bacon and housemade tater tots — yum!

If you only have milk and no vinegar, you are still fine. I have made pancakes with plain milk many times. Liquid Fat: This can be oil, melted butter, melted shortening, melted non-dairy butter. Whatever you have. Just some kind of fat in liquid form. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That is your call. In my opinion, if I am going to be slathering these things with syrup or fruit I don’t need any sugar.

BUT, by all means go ahead and add some if your heart desires. In a pancake recipe, sugar only serves to sweeten the batter so you can really add any sugar or sugar substitute you have on hand. A pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla or cinnamon, some chocolate chips or blueberries would all also be great additions. Again, these things only flavor the batter and are not necessary to make the recipe work. That is what this series is all about. Understanding the science of these baked goods so that baking is more approachable.

Have you ever heard of Polly's Pancake Parlor in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Food writers have been known to call their pancakes the best in America. We could quibble about whether mine are the best-ever buttermilk pancakes or whether Polly's are. And I will be the first to say that the pancakes served in New Hamshire are very good. I have had them and written about them at Polly's Pancake Parlor. However, this recipe makes homemade pancakes from scratch that are extremely delicious, quite affordable and may well be the best pancakes you ever eat at home!
