Greek-ish bowl of Honey Enriched Yogurt and Walnuts

A friend of mine, who doesnt have celiac disease or any other food allergy that I am aware of, had a fall. She is well under the age of sixty five and the fall resulted in a broken hip. (Note to self: I must get my bone density checked). This, in itself, I would have been able to deal with. Hot on its heels, in fact, the very next day, came the bombshell! I've had to deal with bad family news as well ... not a good week! This has resulted in me being quite upbeat one minute and flat on the floor the next. I need some comfort food

My repertoire of comfort food is small of not non-existent. I dont really do comfort food. In my pre gluten-free days I used to tuck into macaroni cheese or pesto pasta, but since the world of gluten-free eating overtook me, my tastes have definately changed. Gone are the heavy meals and due to my husbands heart disease and my gluten problems I eat lighter, excluding heavy sauces and deserts!!!

This is what I came up with, as my traditional comfort food of fresh raspberries with chocolate are not available. Fresh organic yogurt with walnuts and honey!



500 g carton organic natural yogurt
2 tbsp runny honey + extra for drizzling
Handfull broken walnuts, chopped

In a bowl, mix the honey and yogurt untill they are of a creamy consistency
Transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls
Top with the chopped walnuts and drizzle with the extra honey

Oh Dianne - I'm so sorry to hear about the bad news week. I certainly hope your yogurt and honey delight ushered you back to the world of good fortune.

It looks beyond comforting. I've been thinking about it since I first read your post/saw the picture this afternoon - and here I am - 10 hours later - finally writing a reponse!

Heck! I had to go to the store for some honey! LOL
