When a wooden spoon covered in chocolate chip cookie dough is in my hand, I have trouble remembering this one. While always a serious concern, salmonella is even more important to avoid when pregnant. Salmonella (frequently caused by consuming foods containing raw eggs) can cause miscarriage or premature labor. If you are having a powerful cookie dough craving, try making an egg-free cookie dough. Here’s one example:
Mix together (you can vary the proportions):
Peanut butter
Chocolate chips
Oats
Tiny pinch salt (if using salt-free peanut butter)
Brown sugar
Roll into balls and keep in the fridge. You can also add wheat germ, ground flax seed, sunflower seeds, or dried fruit.
