Bites and Bows

001

I sampled Chobani’s new strawberry banana flavor of Greek yogurt for breakfast this morning.  Since I’m not normally drawn to strawberry banana, I added a spoonful of peanut butter to peak my interest.  I tried to take one bite of the yogurt without PB; tasted good to me.  But with the PB it was even better.  Definitely would purchase this flavor if I was going to be using it for a yogurt blend.  Plus adding peanut butter helped me stay full for longer.  Thank you protein!

I packed a salad for lunch: lettuce, cucumbers, baby carrots, and feta cheese…and added a leftover pesto Parmesan turkey burger.

003

This salad was decent, nothing overly exciting.  What made me happy was that it took 30 minutes to eat.  So much munching and crunching!  I hate it when I eat my foods too quickly and don’t take time to appreciate the flavors and textures.

I have a meeting at 1 pm so I actually straightened my hair today.  Woohoo, no ponytail!  I’m wearing a cashmere sweater from J. Crew.  Heaven!

Ok, wait wait…the cashmere sweater is from the J. Crew outlet, from an after-Christmas sale, from my mom.  So after major savings and someone else paying, it’s the only cashmere item I own.  A girl can dream though…cuz cashmere is so warm and soft.  Much preferred over itchy wool sweaters, but I’ll deal.

My necklace makes me smile.  Sterling silver with gold bows!  When I cheered in college, I wore a a bow in my hair to EVERY cheerleading practice.  I felt that wearing a  bow was cute and added a little bit extra so that practices seemed more fun.  Now I’ve retired my collection of cheering bows, but I’m glad I found a way to keep them in my wardrobe.

    I like your necklace, so cute! And yes I agree, cashmere is the best (esp when someone else is paying).

    That chobani flavor sounds really good. I like the pineapple the best I think. I found a Portuguese version of greek yogurt here (iogurte greco perhaps? Ok, not sure how to say greek yet) but I haven’t given it a try yet. You should have shopped gap online after thanksgiving. Cashmere sweaters were about $20. I wore one today too. I love how soft they are, but mine made fuzzies everywhere. I hope yours didn’t make a mess.

    I’m allergic to wool so no cashmere for me – it feels so soft though!

    Love the necklace – it compliments the sweater well.
