If you were to ask me - what food turns a bad day into a good day? - I would immediately respond with two answers: either Starbucks or frozen yogurt. It seems my days are turned around by extremes of either hot or cold. Now, I fully realize that neither a latte nor a frozen treat is really considered a 'food,' but that doesn't stop me from soothing myself with either after a particularly long and trying day. Actually, there is not much that will deter me from getting a latte or a frozen yogurt any day. In case you haven't realized it, I like to treat myself to my favorite things as often as I possibly can. Does this make me spoiled?
Spoiled or not, I love frozen yogurt, but actually I just love yogurt... period. Especially Greek yogurt, I literally cannot get enough; in fact, my co-workers used to make fun of me because they seemed to think all I ate was yogurt! (No, this was not some sort of strange diet, I just love taking yogurt to work for lunch.) Well, the joke is on them, because Greek yogurt is healthy and tastes incredible so they are really the ones missing out. I love to eat plain yogurt topped with sliced almonds and fruit, drizzled with a little honey, or I swirl in a little jam or lemon curd to jazz it up.
I think I got addicted to frozen yogurt (and Starbucks for that matter...) after moving out to California and trying frozen yogurt from Golden Spoon, and then I fed my habit by visiting every other fro-yo spot within a 10-mile radius of my apartment. Most places had every flavor imaginable, from coconut to rootbeer to taro, but my go-to choices were always the fresh fruit flavors. I tend to love more tropical fruits like mangoes or papayas, but a good strawberry, blackberry, or raspberry is simply incomparable.
