What I ate Wednesday v13 and A GIVE-A-WAY





 I AM BACK!!!!

So I totally punked out last week on doing a new WIAW post.... I was just so stressed with stuff at work and tired that I threw in the towel on anything an all computer related at home.

Here are some oldies  WIAWv1  WIAWv2  WIAWv3  WIAWv4  WIAWv5   WIAWv6   WIAWv7   WIAWv8  WIAWv9  WIAWv10           WIAWv11 WIAWv12                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

So this week brings a few new recipes and even a.... wait for it.... wait for it... A GIVE-A-WAY. I know you are as excited as I am.

Lets get on to the food portion first..
I had been feeling bad Sunday and could not eat much of anything... which is a complete change from my eating 7 times a day. So my breakfast was a bit lame uneventful.

Breakfast
 6am: Kashi Go lean with raisins and Almond Milk

My normal mid morning snack got skipped because our Fifth Graders put on a holiday show for my little munchkins so I didnt take it with us.

Lunch
11:30 Roasted Squash and Tomato barley salad with some chicken
I made this the night before while I prepped my slow cooked soup for dinner


 Snack
2:30 Chobani Pomegranate Greek Yogurt

 I love Pomegranate everything!!!!

Snacks
3:00 unsalted almonds
3:30 apple


Dinner
6:00 Slow cooked sweet potato and Lentil soup
 and a Christmas cookie from my neighbor brought over.... yumm

OK NOW ONTO MY GIVE-A-WAY

I have been in contact with the awesome people at Chobani Yogurt and they sent a nice little package to my house to review. Then they stepped it up a notch and said I can offer one of my awesome readers a gift of Chobani sent to their house.

Well Check out what was on my door step when I got home from work!!!!
As you can tell Taz was pretty excited about this as well. I was totally expecting 2-3 containers of Chobani to arrive at my house. How excited was I when I continued to open and found this....
 
TWELVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS!!!!!!! Like I have said before I am a huge fan and eat Chobani on a regular basis, but they sent me a few flavors I have yet to try. I am super excited about the Mango. That will be making it into my lunch tomorrow!!!!!

If you are unfamiliar with Chobani  Greek Yogurt, you either live under a rock or you completely look over it at your grocery store. Well I am here to say, stop, look around your local dairy section, and compare the labels.

Chobani Greek Yogurt  is made with only natural ingredients, No preservatives, no artificial flavors. Chobani Greek yogurt also offers any where from 2-4 times the protein as your typical yogurt. Which makes it a perfect choice for active individuals. Over the past year Chobani has become a staple in my fridge. Chobani is also a gluten free option and is safe for all those out there with nut and soy allergies.

So when I found out I got to offer this amazing product to one of my readers I was THRILLED to say the least.

    I LOVE plain CHO. I like to mix it with pecans and raisins, or almonds and dried cherries. I use it to make salad dressings, substitute it for sour cream..it's so versatile! If I eat a flavored one, I go with vanilla or pineapple. It's so delicious :)

    My favorite way to use Chobani is mixed with canned pumpkin and cinnamon sugar. Or in a savory way mixed with lemon pepper as a substitute for salad dressing. Both made with 0% plain, it's the best!
