Good summer morning!
My-oh-my it’s been so long since I’ve had greek yogurt!!! I picked up an Oikos at Whole Foods yesterday to have for breakfast this morning. Mmmmmmm!!!
I made a parfait with banana, Wheaties, Opera Girl Granola, homemade plum jam, slivered almonds
Plus chilled coffee (*not iced because there’s no ice!)
Headed to Chicago for the Second Annual Healthy Living Summit this morning!
Thanks again to our wonderful sponsors who made the event possible!
Matt’s on his way to New Orleans to visit his brother, Andrew. If you live there, look out for two crazy guys running around in red dresses!

Greek yogurt is the only kind I will eat. I love the texture and texture in food is really important to me.
I’m in Chicago and will be attending HLS. I’m so excited for everyone to experience the city I love!!!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Greek yogurt really is delicious. It tastes really decadent while being so healthy!! You probably already know this but you can make your own by just taking plain yogurt and putting it into a mesh-strainer lined with coffee filters. Leave it in your fridge overnight and you have Greek yogurt in the morning!
Carrie says
“You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, “Let’s get some parfait,” they say, “Hell no, I don’t like no parfait”? Parfaits are delicious.”
Totally just had a flashback to Shrek.
Marie says
Ahaha!
Franziska (justalittlechocolate) says

I must remember to try jam with my yogurt mix. I have so many homemade flavors.
Darcy @ shesingsatthetable says
Yesterday I had a bite of the old corn-syrupy-tasting yogurt I ate for the majority of my life before I discovered the Greek stuff. Blech! Oh Greek yogurt, we have to make up for so much lost time…
Happy travels! Love the blog and looking forward to the recaps!
