Comfort Food has an unexpected new home: True Foods Kitchen

We all have those comfort foods that we go to when life gets stressful.  I have to admit my comfort food choices are not alway ones that I am proud of.  Let's talk about comfort food for a minute. Whether it be a warm, soft and gooey like with macaroni and cheese, chicken and dumplings or peach cobbler or a salty sweet snack food like cheese and carmel popcorn from Garrett's - it's must do two things comfort or soothe us and it must be down right delicious.  But what happens when your stress doesn't let up?  You feel guilty after eating your normal comfort foods...but today is a new day....True Foods to the rescue!

If you are not familiar with it,  True Foods Kitchen is a restaurant who's menu is packed full with healthy and nutrious food selections.  I know what you're thinking....how could anything on a healthy restaurant's menu possible qualify to be called comfort food?  I know...I'm surprised too....pleasantly surprised and excited to share. 

Meet my latest "go to - no guilt" comfort food : 

Herb Hummus

This is not your "run of the mill" hummus.  This hummus is entertwined with simple, fresh ingredients: feta cheese, cucumbers, red onions, kalamata olives, tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, topped off with a lemon yogurt dressing and served with toasted pita bread.  It is listed as an appetizer on the menu but, it is so so satisfying that it could easily serve as your main meal, which is the way I like it.

My comfort food list has just been upgraded thanks to the folks over at TFK.  I now have a healthy alternative option that I can go to when life gets crazy that sacrifices only the guilt and none of the flavor.

True Food Kitchen has 2 locations in Arizona (Biltmore Fashion Park and Scottsdale Quarter) and 2 locations in California (Fashion Island and Santa Monica Place).
