so i've been working with my chef mom and am putting together my own creation that satisfies that goal.
i have also become interested in the whole nutrition/energy thing. i've lost most (all) cravings for any sort of junk food and find myself craving healthy items when i find myself hungry and also notice an increase in energy, alertness, everything when i eat properly.
so many of those things they advertise with comfort foods i am realizing are more valid for nutritious foods!

It's definitely a lot cheaper to eat crappy than healthy for sure. You can do a lot of things with Tofu, the super silky version is a great to blend up with fruit for a creamy smoothie, the more firm versions are good as meat substitutes if you are trying to venture away from a lot animal protein.
I'm a steakaholic, so its hard for me to give up that up, but gimme a George Foreman, a bag of salad, throw on some mandarin oranges and cilantro on the salad and you're good to go.
I've been really into lemon pepper lately, and found that even tuna sandwiches have become more interesting with it mixed in (where you can really taste it, not just sprinkled on).
