Pregnant Gail Simmons Craves for Peanut Butter and Popsicles

Pregnant Gail Simmons says that her appetite has increased since pregnancy and she eats in "great quantity."

In an interview with the People magazine the Top Chef judge, who is six months pregnant, shared her pregnancy experience. "I'm eating every day in great quantity," she said.

Gail also said her pregnancy cravings included eating peanut butter and popsicle, albeit separately. Shooting for the 11^th season of 'Top Chef,' she was constantly craving for peanut butter. "I had a lot of cravings for popsicles and peanut butter ... not together. All I wanted for breakfast was peanut butter jelly sandwiches and all I wanted in the afternoon was a popsicle because it was 100 degrees."

This 37-year-old culinary expert seems to be enjoying her pregnancy with only food. "I had a really lovely  day. I had breakfast on my terrace with a bunch of friends. I always make sure to eat a hearty breakfast, especially these days, but in general because you don't eat again until 8 o' clock at night," she said. "So the five of us just sat on the terrace and had a leisurely morning."

She and her husband Jeremy Abrams are going the traditional way of only finding out the sex of the baby once it's born. Gail said that Jeremy would "like it to be a surprise." "I'm gonna grow!" she said. "That's for sure."

Her show 'Top Chef,' was nominated for Emmy Awards and Gail was super excited. She released her first book 'Talking With My Mouth Full: My Life as a Professional Eater' last year.
