The perfect refrigerator staple…

Good afternoon!
For the next few weeks, while i’m dealing with the craziness of transition between my current and new roles, I will most likely need to mimic Danica’s approach and do shorter installments throughout the day during breaks, commutes, etc.
A few weeks back the wonderful people at Chobani sent me a cooler of their amazing yogurt! While i’d often seen Chobani products on the shelves at the grocery store I never bought it because it was always at least $0.50 more than Dannon Light n Fit. Well, after sampling a few of the flavors, i’ve realized why it costs more. This yogurt is no ordinary yogurt. In fac
t, it it thick, creamy, substantive, rich, and their flavored products have incredible sweetness! After a few tastes I realized this product would be the perfect component of an afternoon snack. I normally eat breakfast at 8, lunch at 12:30-1ish, and then dinner has been later and later since i’ve moved in with Bo. We normally eat dinner around 8:30. This means going 7-8 hours between lunch and dinner! On Friday I decided to bring a small piece of fruit for an initial snack at 2:30 and then Chobani Fat Free Strawberry and a fiber crisp for my 5:30 snack. Th

e yogurt, due to the amazing 14 grams of protein it packs, satiated all hunger pangs. In addition, it also quenched my sweet tooth as it does contain 19 grams of sugar. This seemed like a great deal of sugar at first but when you consider the afternoon snack alternatives that I would have had if my sweet tooth remained it is actually a great mix of sweet, substantive, and yummy. The strawberry flavor had chunks of real strawberries mixed in while also not tasting artificial. I will definitely continue enjoying this as an afternoon snack at least a couple times a week. If you hop over to their website you can find all the product information, recipes, and coupons!
Thanks Morgan!!

Three questions Thursday and a giveaway

Wahoo! It’s Thursday evening which means I get to entertain my old friend, Charlene, tonight for our favorite shiritaki italian dinner, tomorrow is Friday, and then Bo and I head up to my family’s place in Manchester Center, VT! I’m so excited to see my family! But, Thursday also means it’s Three Questions Thursday! Here they are, straight from good ol’ Iowa Girl. Similar to Iowa Girl and the other bloggers out there, I love learning about my readers, especially the lurkers. According to my most recent blog data, i’m getting around 75-100 visits a day so i’d love to get to know everyone!
  1. Do you have any summer vacation plans you’re excited about? So far we have two trips up to my family’s place in Vermont, one trip down to Savannah, my bachelorette party down at the shore, and then enjoying everything this amazing city has to offer in the summer. I have summer hours in my new job which means I get off at noon on Fridays! I am hoping to catch some matinee shows and events with friends!
  2. Would you rather live in a place with seasons, or somewhere that’s warm or cold (if you’re into that!) all year round? I absolutely love seasons! I grew up in Savannah, Georgia where you had HOT and cool. There was no in between and we only saw snow 2 times the first 18 years of my life.
  3. Is your car clean or messy? My car used to be pretty messy at times because I would live out of it when I was living between NYC and Philadelphia. But, I am not a messy person by nature and it drove Bo absolutely crazy!
