Gone back to buying yogurt

qualitygal — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 13:55:57 GMT

I didn't realize how much I had missed it. I'm glad I got some as of late. I really enjoy it again.

Have any of you gone back to getting something you'd missed too?

"Have any of you gone back to getting something you'd missed too?"

Long fusilli pasta! (not the little twists, the long spaghetti fusilli)

Harder to find these days. Ronzoni used to make it, and years ago they stopped making it. It always was my favorite pasta.

There was only one brand I found occasionally at an Italian specialty shop, but it was never as good as the Ronzoni, as it used to break apart, upon cooking, into small pieces.

I just found an "artisnal" brand, from Italy, at Fresh Market...paid way more than I'd normally pay for pasta! I think it was about $6...but boy I enjoyed it, and it didn't break apart, but stayed long, like curly spaghetti, like it's supposed to.

So...I guess this will be a regular "treat" purchase for me now!

Not me, no matter what brands or flavors I've tried, I just can't stand yogurt.

Not my favorite food, but I took to work for lunch. I never liked packing lunches so yogurt was something easy to grab and go.

I love the flavored Greek Yogurts and I always throw on a little (or a lot) of granola.

As for something I've gone back to eating......I can't really think of anything.

You can have my share for life. I have tried that stuff every which way it comes and in tons of flavors and still cannot stomach it. Uggggg

I go through long stretches when I have yogurt everyday, followed by long stretches when I don't have any at all. It all depends on sales and coupons; the industry is very competitive and it's often possible to get brand-names for free or nearly free.

@sunshine45 I used to make my own, too, when I had a gas stove with a pilot light. It was just the PERFECT temp. Now, I'm stuck with an electric stove......

@qualitygal : I usually have a bin of my fridge filled with Greek yogurt.

Faves are whole milk toasted coconut vanilla (with granola) and 80 cal black cherry to which I add some mini chocolate chips and flax or chia seeds.

@qualitygal I like yogurt, too. Have tried them all, but my absolute favorite is Publix brand, especially the peach which has nice chunks of peaches in it, not just flavoring.

ETA: The only thing I can think of that I missed and have gone back to are kiwis. Used to eat them all time, and don't even know why I stopped.

My 38 year old son has been eating yogurt every day since he was little. I swear it's kept him healthy - that kid was a handful but he was rarely sick. No ear infections, strep throat, colds, stomach issues (once or twice tops) nothing!

I really do attribute this to his yogurt habit. Me and DH eat it as well. Mainly plain or vanilla Greek and then add honey, fruit and granola/walnuts. Or in a smoothie.

We love yogurt!

I eat Dannon Light vanilla Greek yogurt every morning with strawberries - I add them myself. Actually, I put 4 cups of semi-defrosted strawberries (microwave for 3 min.) and 2 cups of yogurt in the Vitamix. It makes plenty for breakfast, afternoon snack and evening snack. I MUST have it every day. I've been eating it for several years, daily. I started with regular Dannon Light vanilla, but once I had their Greek, that's all I like.

Love that "eternity" bit, smoking or non smoking. I almost missed that!!! So good.

@Desertdi

you should get a small yogurt maker. it makes it easier and keeps it at the perfect temperature.

or the one with the individual glass cups.

I'm also eating yogurt again. Sometimes I just need a break from it but I miss it and like it. I especially like putting blueberries and walnuts in it.

"Have any of you gone back to getting something you'd missed too?"

Wege of Hanover hard pretzels. I think it's been about 30 years since I had them.

They aren't sold in all areas of the country.
