steel cut oats

I actually tend to lose my appetite when I'm stressed/sad/anxious/generally unbalanced... I do tend to crave water in those times, and wind up drinking much more than my standard 7 or 8 glasses. But even though I don't crave food when I'm stressed doesn't mean I don't get some serious cravings from time to time

Prior to this this last summer, when I started eating a low-glycemic diet, my ultimate comfort food was a roll of sugar cookie dough (uncooked), followed closely by any kind of ice cream.

Now that I'm mostly off sweets, though, many of my craveable foods are high-protein. Right now it's enchiladas y refritos -- I've ordered out from Carmelita's three times (including today!) since that yummy quesadilla I scarfed at the Ferry Building got me craving Mexican constantly.

When it's cold outside (like tonight), my favorite comfort-food dinner is steel-cut oatmeal with a touch of raw wild honey from a family friend's North Carolina farm and pecans from my grandma's trees. I actually eat that three or four times a week for dinner, at least during the winter. There's nothing like filling your tummy with warm oatmeal when it's cold out.
