Mediterranean

For awhile I was pretty addicted to Trader Joe's single serving Greek Yogurt with honey. Mmmmm... But then I sort of stopped going there because I moved and it was too far away. Every once in awhile I would buy some Fage but man, those little things are kind of pricey. Michael suggested I just buy a big tub of the stuff and make my own. Sounds like an obvious plan but I don't like big tubs of anything dairy. Growing up, our family was not into dairy (unless it's ice cream!) so tubs of anything- sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, ricotta, etc- that I bought to use in a recipe would sit in the back of the fridge forever until whatever inside turned stinky and gross.

But, Fage's are expensive and those Greek Yogurt with honey and granola at Starbucks are really overpriced so I decided to start buying bulk. Now, when I have time, this is my breakfast:


The fruits are frozen, the granola are from the Natural/Organic section of Wegmans, and I throw a few almonds in there to keep me feeling full longer.

That bowl, by the way, is the nut bowl from the Missoni for Target collection. I was pretty lucky that day and managed to score a few pieces. You can still get some Missoni for Target at target.com and I'm considering picking up this crib blanket.


I'm thinking about framing it and using it as art. I need a big piece of art to go over one of my couch. You know what, maybe I won't even frame it, just hang it up like a tapestry. Hmmm... is that too college dorm-ish looking? Do college kids still hang hippy dippy sheets on their wall?

Maybe I'll get this one instead?


That might be too much red for my living room...

$50 isn't too much to pay for a big piece of wall hanging, right?

Are you near a Whole Foods? The big containers of Fage are the same price as Trader Joe's at mine (3.49). That's way cheaper than at any of the other grocery stores near me and Target.

The crib blankets are sooo cute. The pattern on the 2nd one is the same that was on the bedding I wanted for my guest room (aka your room, since you're pretty much the only guest I ever have).

All the Whole Foods in my area are across the road from a Trader Joe so if I'm going to Whole Foods, I might as well just go to Trader Joe's. Besides, there's just something about Whole Food that I don't like. The one most accessible to me smells like fish all the time, gross.
