I think we're all familiar with that sweet, delicious taste of fruit on the bottom yogurt cups or drizzling honey and granola on top of our greek yogurt. I will personally never turn down a vanilla yogurt studded with fresh blueberries. 

I had kind of an overwhelming, sugary weekend though and I wanted to spend this week moving away from starting my day with sugar-heavy cereals and yogurt. When I start the day with something sweet (it does not help that there is a pie shop literally in my apartment building!), I keep wanting the same flavors throughout the day.

I'm not cutting out sugar, because I do believe in a life of balance and because I like trying new things - here's my simple take on a savory yogurt recipe.

I am a fan of za'atar as well and would vote for this recipe (mideastfood.about.com/od/middleeasternspicesherbs/r/zaatar.htm) which contains oregano and sesame seeds. An interesting article on the spice is was published in the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/feb/06/zaatar-recipes-bread-beans-mushrooms-yotam-ottolenghi).
