So today I didn't do so hot in preparing my lunch and ended up at the grocery store across the street for some food. I got a salad from the salad bar and ended up choosing balsamic dressing - something I always thought I hated - because it was the healthiest of the options. Funny thing is, it was actually really good! I ate it on the salad and dipped my veggies in it and was pleasantly surprised.

What foods have you tried since your lifestyle change that you always said/thought you didn't like, and then found out they're actually tasty?

    I definitely second the humous! Also, cous cous. I always preferred pasta thinking cous cous would fill me up as much and was bland. But its so versatile and I hardly need any of it to fill me up! Plus it goes amazingly with chopped tomatoes and red pepper humous!

    Peanuts! Especially my homemade satay sauce on chicken (just garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander, soy sauce limes and crunchy peanut butter)

    Greek Yogurt. I hated it until a lot of my MFP friends told me HOW to eat it. Now, I eat it daily and am addicted! I eat the plain, non-fat greek yogurt with thawed frozen berries, a little honey and splenda, and fiber one buds. My own little yogurt parfait. It is my favorite food right now.

    greek yogurt, skinny cow ice cream and raw almonds! Plus, kashi cookies and fiber one bars:) I have a sweet tooth and have found a way to satify it w/o killing my "diet"!

    avacados/guacamole and brussel sprouts. I'm also liking sauteed onions (still don't like them raw).

    When I was little I convinced my mom bananas made my mouth/throat itch whenever I ate them (claiming I was allergic to them) because I didn't like them. I tried one the other day and I'm obsessed with them now.
