The walkway at the San Diego Convention Center—quite different from our hometown New York environment.		   We’re off to the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Diego, where we and 16,000 other trade professionals will fill the San Diego Convention Center to sample as much as we can of the 80,000 food products from 1,100 exhibitors. Most of the attendees are retail buyers (stores, catalogs, websites) looking for new products to sell to their consumers, and special items for Easter.

THE NIBBLE staff will be looking for the very best products to review in THE NIBBLE online magazine, and for the rare few to be featured as Top Pick Of The Week. We won’t be writing much in this space until we return, the latter part of next week.

FOOD TIP OF THE DAY: Breakfast Banana Split

January 11, 2008 at 11:14 am · Filed under Breakfast & Brunch, Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Diet Nibbles, Recipes, Tip Of The Day

For a healthy and festive breakfast, split a ripe banana, add two or three small scoops of cottage cheese topped with different flavors of yogurt and different fresh fruits.

Sprinkle with granola or cereal flakes and you have a delicious “banana split.” (It’s a variation on a yogurt parfait.)

Or, try this recipe from Del Monte (find many more Del Monte recipes on Fruits.com):

    1. CUT the banana in half lengthwise and place in a bowl.

    2. ADD the fruit to the middle of the banana. Spoon the yogurt over the top of the fruit.
