I came across this idea from Simplistic Living and thought it was a cute idea:

Anticipating: The weekend. I know it's only Tuesday but I can't help it!  I am always looking forward to the weekend, but this weekend is extra special because I get to go to New York to visit my parents, enjoy Oysterfest and watch the Gator game at SideBar. 

September 2010 - Watching the gators play USF at SideBar

Oyster Bay, NY

Soda dispensers at Oysterfest

Lots of food choices at Oysterfest

Kettle Corn - my all time favorite snack!

Beautiful fall day at Oysterfest 2011

I’m also looking forward to dinner at Volt next week to celebrate Brian and my 3 year anniversary. Volt is Bryan Voltaggio's restaurant located in Frederick, Maryland.  Its supposed to be really good!

Lastly, I’m anticipating the trip to Florida Brian and I am taking at the end of the month to visit my grandma.

Wanting: Some cute fall clothes since I am too lazy to unpack all my sweaters and boots from the attic. 

Oh, and a day off from work.  ;-)

Reading: The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing – City by David Lebovitz
 
I just started reading it this morning and like it so far. It’s a mix of stories from an American chef living in Paris and there are recipes at the end of each chapter.  I have always wanted to go to Paris…but for now I’m just enjoying reading about Parisian life, since it’s as close as I’m going to get for a while!

Watching:  Homeland.  I’m addicted.  It’s such a good show, we even ordered Showtime so we could watch it on demand.  We’re on Episode 9 of Season one – almost caught up!

Eating:  Tuna salad sandwich for lunch with pumpkin Greek yogurt from Trader Joe's.  Not sure about dinner yet!

Working on:  Getting back into the gym and eating healthier.  Also, I’ve been getting back into knitting and am working on a few different projects to give away as Christmas gifts!  

Listening:  Some nights - Fun

What about you?

Greek Yogurt

Passion Fruit Flavored Greek Yogurt

I tried Greek yogurt once when it first became popular and thought it was gross!  It left my tongue feeling all weird and dry and the yogurt was not sweet at all.  Well today I caved and decided to try it again…but this time I tried Chobani Passion Fruit flavored Greek yogurt.  

I love the taste of passion fruit – it reminds me of mango and pineapple.  And it really does sweeten the yogurt a lot.  I actually enjoyed it!  The Passion Fruit mixture is on the bottom of the cup and the plain white yogurt is on top.  After mixing it all together, the yogurt wasn’t so thick.  The only thing I didn’t like were the little seeds from the passion fruit, they had a bit of a nutty taste which I wasn’t expecting.  Overall, I would definitely try Greek yogurt again and try out all the other flavors (like apple cinnamon - YUM!).  It does have a bit more calories than regular low fat yogurt but there is a ton of protein, so I think it's worth those extra calories.
