Kazy, I totally identify with burning out on certain foods. I used to love pumpkin soup but after a few months I was so sick of soup I couldn't look at ANY soup. Now I'm going back to it. Pumpkin soup with buttered wholemeal toast soaking in it is quite satisfying. Sometimes I go super-healthy and actually put a bit of finely chopped parsley in it. The Weight-Watchers cannelloni with sour cream is surprisingly gentle on the mouth. I suppose they artificially sweeten the tomato sauce but whatever evil things they do to it, it's one thing in the world that tastes delicious to me. (I buy wholesome looking soup in those plastic bags when it is on special. If I make soup I end up throwing half of it away.)
