I used to keep Dannon Light n’ Fit in business! I bought their yogurt all the time and never really thought about the artificial sweeteners. Gradually, I have cut a lot of artificial sweeteners out of my diet. I still eat them, but I don’t eat them regularly and haven’t bought a Light n’ Fit for months. Well, this week, Dannon was on sale. And I saw this flavor:
Apple Pie! APPLE PIE! And for a limited time only! I glanced at the $1.99 Chobani and Oikos, and then the on-sale $.59 Dannon in APPLE PIE FLAVOR…..and put 3 in my cart.
All day yesterday I was thinking about what to do with my apple pie yogurt. And then it hit me….A topping for my very favorite pumpkin, apple, raisin combination!
Was it overly sweet? Yep. But here’s the thing…I love sweet! This was a great combination! Probably not the healthiest of yogurts, but as a dessert??? Apple, pumpkin, raisins, and calcium rich yogurt….not bad. I won’t go back to buying these again on a regular basis, but I have to admit, I do like them. Blasphemy in the blog world, but the truth. 🙂
I had a super productive day today finishing up my paper on the interview I did with Gina, and the powerpoint presentation that went with it. I’m just about done, but took a break for a very satisfying dinner.
A Dr. Praeger’s veggie burger on gluten free bread, with some mixed veggies. I stirred in some Laughing Cow too….is there anything you can’t add Laughing Cow to?!
It was wonderful. But let’s look a little closer at this picture…
That is a lima bean! I very carefully picked out about 15 lima beans from this serving of mixed vegetables. But this one got by me! First of all, there is no reason to have such a high ratio of lima beans to other veggies. Even if I liked lima beans, that would be too many. But I don’t like them. Its the only vegetable I can think of that I really, really hate. Other beans??? Bring them on! But limas? I will pick them out every time!
Any vegetable that you just can’t stomach?
Dave is back in Boston and on his way home shortly. I think we will celebrate with this week’s episode of LOST! Typically, that would be reserved for Friday night. But this week, Flash Forward is back!! 2 hours of it! So I think that will be the Friday night event this week!
I’d better sign off….. I’ve now told you: (1) I like artificially sweetened yogurt, (2) I pick out lima beans from mixed veggies, and (3) the highlights of weekends in this house are television dramas. I’m going to go hang my head now! 🙂
