Have you heard about Greek Yogurt? It has been the craze over the past few years. Though not really popular at first here in the States, now it has become a household name. I first tried Greek Yogurt not too long ago and now I am a huge fan. I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to regular yogurt. So what is Greek Yogurt? Greek Yogurt is basically yogurt that has the whey strained out, giving you a more tart, thicker consistency yogurt. People love it, some dislike it but really, it’s up to your taste buds. It is definitely an acquired taste. Over the years, Greek Yogurt has…

Plastic Storage Container Addict…Yes, That’s Me
I never thought I would be addicted to plastic storage containers but I have recently realized that when do go shopping and I see a unique container, I want it. In the meantime, the drawer in which we keep all of our storage containers is over flowing! I just can’t help myself. Rather than purchasing containers that are inexpensive, I should probably invest in the Tupperware brand but it’s hard. A great place (though it’s not the best quality) to find cool containers is the Dollar store. And really, because it’s only a dollar, you really don’t expect it to last a long time. The newest addition to my container…

Trader Joe’s Dried Fruit Bar Review
Though these are called Trader Joe’s Dried Fruit Bars, in reality, they are very much similar to fruit leathers, aka fruit roll ups. Fruit roll ups (though it’s an actual brand name and not a product name much like when I wrote about Kleenex) brings back so many fond memories for me when I as a child. I remember my mom packing them up for us for school lunches as well as the many different kinds of fruit roll ups on the market. I remember the cool psychedelic swirl flavors as well as the fruit roll ups that had cut out shapes that you can enjoy. Looking back, though…

Muffin-The Cutest Dog in the Universe
I don’t do it often so I’m using this post to highlight our dog Muffin. Read our history here. We have had her now for 2 months and her behavior is exactly the way it was when we got her on day one. We were afraid that she would turn rebellious or act out but nothing! She is a keeper for sure! She loves people, loves to sunbathe outside and absolutely loves snacks. Another thing that is pretty comical is that she snores and dreams quite a bit. There are times when her paws twitch like she running and there are times when growls then barks as though playing two…

Happy Birthday To Me via Black Market Bakery!
January 19th was my birthday and to celebrate, my wonderful sister in law bought me this amazing cake! She purchased the cake from the Black Market Bakery in Costa Mesa. I had never heard of the Black Bakery until she told me about it but apparently, it’s a super popular bakery. The cake she got me was called the Dark Chocolate Mousse cake. It was SO delicious! She mentioned that it normally sells out so she had to reserve the cake the prior day. I felt so special! Just a heads up, it is quite rich so perhaps pairing it with some milk/soy milk may be good. I am a…

Trader Joe’s Electrolyte Water Review
I’ve always wanted to try electrolyte water so what better time to give it a shot then when I am sick. I have been sick with the flu for a while now and because of that, I need to stay hydrated. I often drink Gatorade when I’m sick but sometimes, I just need water. I often see people drinking fancy waters like Smart Water but never tried it so I asked my husband to purchase some Trader Joe’s Electrolyte water. I was so excited to see what it would taste like and really…it tasted exactly the way it should taste…like water. LOL! I’m not sure what I was expecting. Maybe…
