a big bowl of awful

One of my challenges this month is eating better. I met with a nutritionist at the beginning of the month to help get me started on the right track. I'm doing my best to stick to my approved foods but it hasn't been super easy.
One of my approved snacks is a serving of plain greek yogurt with some added fruit. I decided to give it a shot today during my morning snack time. Jem sat down at the bar with his bowl of normal, flavored yogurt and I sat down with  my bowl of plain greek yogurt with some banana slices in it. It looked suspiciously like sour cream and I said so jokingly to Jem. Then I tasted it and realized the resemblance to sour cream didn't just start and stop with appearance. I looked at the container and compared it to my container of sour cream. Do you know what the difference is? Active yogurt cultures. That's it. And let me tell you, those active yogurt cultures do not alter the taste. Yuck! Maybe it is because I am used to yogurt that tastes like peaches or strawberries. Maybe it is because I file yogurt under "sweet snacks" in my brain. Maybe it is because I don't want to eat a bowl of something that I could top a baked potato with. Whatever the reason, I am not into plain yogurt. I had to add some honey to it just to get it down and I'm sure that is not on my approved list of foods. Oh well. I bet I can use it in place of sour cream to make sour cream pancakes. And those get covered with butter and warm, syrupy syrup. Yum! Also not on my approved list of foods. But at least I'm eating my yogurt, right? Right?!
