What I'm Reading This Week #26

Well you made it to Friday!  I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens.  I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us.  Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can.  I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun.  I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there.  I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not.  The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them.  I have a few struggling...

Food Review: Friendly Farms Tropical Fruit Greek Yogurt

We've been Trader Joe's yogurt peeps for a few years now.  When I kept hearing bloggers talk about Aldi's new organic section, we had to go check it out.  Well, I think ours is behind the times because I don't consider four veggies a vast array of organic.

What did catch our eye was this yogurt...




Pineapple and passion fruit?  I'm on it!

Here's a look at the nutritional info...


(Ignore the expiration date, I meant to do this post awhile ago but you know, life.)

Here's a peek at the rest of the info...



Looks like your usual yogurt.


But on the bottom is your hunks o' tropical paradise.  (The last batch was mixed though so they might've changed it to be premixed now.)


So how does it taste?


We LOVE it!  It has 6g less sugar than TJ's, 20 calories less, $.30 cheaper and 100% better flavor.  I have half of one every morning with other stuff and the Mr has it some mornings as well.  We never bought the same yogurt flavors but we both agree this is delicious.  With TJ's yogurt, I always had to force it down a little but I actually look forward to this and the little chunks of pineapple in there.  It's available at Aldi, which is part of the Trader Joe's family so how's that for a small yogurt world in our household?

What's your favorite flavor of yogurt or do you hate it?

    There are a lot of flavors I like. I tend to stay away from the berry ones, but I really like peach and vanilla.

    I am definitely a peach/apricot fan. I also like mango, strawberry, and raspberry. Blueberry and vanilla are the last two flavours in a mixed pack that remain in my fridge. I kinda have to choke those down or I try to pawn them off on my boyfriend in his lunches.

    I'm all about anything pineapple. I really like cherry and blueberry as well. What I'm not a fan of is the strawberry/banana combo-- I find I don't like that combo in anything, which is weird, because I like both of those things separately.
