Recently when I was running really low on groceries, I had a craving for one of my comfort foods. And by comfort foods I mean a food I literally eat almost every single day; after not having it for two days, I was literally sitting staring in to space just thinking about it. That food is yogurt. I bet you were thinking - hmm, a dietitian is going to share some deep dark (shameful) secret. Sorry, nothing real dark here, unless you count a love of dark chocolate. But back to yogurt. Yes yogurt, the creamy, cool goodness, I can NOT live without it. I eat it almost everyday incorporated into breakfast - and again sometimes for a snack. And in the past few months I've been eating almost exclusively plain yogurt (I think that constitutes a hard core fan) or plain Greek yogurt with just a drizzle of honey or sliced up fruit for sweetness.
On the night in question when I had gone for two days without yogurt, I was getting desperate, I quick ran to the store, picked up some fresh raspberries - $1/pack (super sale!), Kashi Go Lean, and yogurt - then rushed home and whipped up a delicious dinner - Greek yogurt with Kashi and raspberries drizzled with honey. Pure perfection.
Getting ready for a relaxed Saturday and watching the Olympics for the next couple of weeks!
Are there any food you can't live without or are your comfort foods?
