*thank you all so much for your supportive comments! I feel wonderfully positive today and I appreciate all your love and support! xoxoxoxox!*
I woke up and was dying to dig into my goodies from FoodBuzz Tastemaker Program….
Fruit crisps and some much needed granola…. But my body wanted something else
a tall mug of chicken broth with chili powder. My throat was a little scratchy and my cough is still not completely broken so something hot, soothing, with a spicy kick was just what I needed! When Im starving from time to time and know im going out to eat a big meal i have a mug of broth to fill up a bit. That lovely mug was a comforting 5 calories. FIVE. And for me its a craving killer!
Around lunchtime I grabbed a fluffernutter.
Honey peanut butter, a thin layer of dark chocolate peanut butter and a heaping tablespoon of fluff for a sweet sandwich!
followed by two mammoth oatmeal raisin flax cookies from kashi. And a tiny bit of Lactaid milk… (i must note that since switching to lactaid- my stomach has totally calmed down after any dairy consumption! yay!)

There was a serious comfort thing going on. So I indulged in my comfort and had a creamy bowl of farina.



I hope you're in better spirits today! The tea sounds nice and comfy
Oh farina, I love you! Feel better!
Stay positive!!!I love those cookies…a little too much.
5 calories and it satisfied a craving? Lucky you!!! Seriously!
I am so DYING for that fluffernutter sandwich of heaven! I love combining different PB flavors. I am all about maximizing the peanut butter in my life.I used to have those little sugar free jello things as a craving buster – 10 cals a container. I'm so glad you're feeling better chica!
I am sssoo glad you are feelin better hon!! Take care of yourself! OMG…fluffernutters!!! I so forgot about these! They were so good! Now Im craving one=)The farina looks so good. There is something about warm oats that is ssoo super comfoting. Feel better and I hope you have a great day!
I am so jealous of all the products you get to try!!! I hope you are doing better today! I know how rough everything can be! Stay positive girly! <3 Five calories! Seriously how amazing! and a craving satisfier awesome!!!
that sandwich looks so good!!! and I LOVEEEEE Farina….so much!!
hope you are getting all the comfort you need.
Foodbuzz jipped me out of those cool packages haha. Glad you are feeling better! Farina is the best! My dad used to make it for me all the time with raisins and sugar mmm.
can't say that I've ever craved warm chicken broth and chili powder before but now that you mention it – doesn't sound half bad! like savory tea!! I love the way your mind works
Glad you're feeling better.
Love broth when I'm sick. If I'm ever congested I add a big ol' dash of cayenne & it really helps! Works in tomato juice as well.
What is it about hot cereal? I love them all…in fact I think I'm going to try the quinoa as a hot cereal tomorrow just to see how it does. I've only added it to my beef stew in place of barley (which I forgot I was out of!) & it was a beautiful substitute.I've never actually made plain ol' farina, just Cream of Wheat. I just never thought about it!Hope you are feeling better soon & can give us the Special K skinny.

I am so happy that you are feeling better love…Foodbuzz is ticking me off! I am yet to get anything from the tastemaker program…grrrrrrr
Way to feed the cravings! I have a penchant for warm, mushy foods myself. I probably would have gone for some similar eats if I weren't feeling at the top of my game.
This has given me a craving for chilli!
splenda is it all its cracked up to be?
