| spoiled chobani |
I usually eat a Chobani a day. But ever since I was
product testing the Fage Greek Yogurt, I told my husband that I would
eat what he had purchased for me the next week (plenty of time on the
package to eat it). WOW! Today the notice about the recall comes out
and I had him go into the refrig. and pull them off the shelf (10 of
them) and of that amount 5 looked like the one in the above picture and
so he returned them all and received $14. and some change for them.
Thursday
he went back and picked up 7 of the Fage and they cost $1.49 each just
like the Chobani so that's a little more than we're really happy paying
for our yogurt. But I will continue to buy the large size which gives
me more yogurt than the small cups.
I would have done
this for BzzAgent but they have so many ways to tell you how to do it
for them that it took away the creativity in which I use to post.
I would like to share some great yogurt recipes that you can make using FAGE or any GREAT GREEK YOGURT!

1/3 cup of fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
2-1/2 cups of plain, whole milk yogurt
1/2 cup of raw sugar

Honey-Lemon
Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients:
2/3 cup of honey
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of grated lemon rind
pinch of salt
2 cups of plain, whole milk yogurt
2 egg whites
Directions:
One of my favorite frozen yogurt recipes! Honey and lemon go together
beautifully in frozen yogurt. The honey gives the dessert a smooth
texture and natural sweetness, while the lemon imparts a bright snap to
the taste. To make this delightful delicacy, combine the first four
ingredients in a heavy enameled or stainless steel saucepan over medium
heat and stir them until they’re well blended. Then set the mixture
aside to cool.
Next, mix in the yogurt and chill the concoction for 2 hours. Then beat
the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gently fold them into the yogurt
preparation, and churn the dessert in a two-quart freezer.
Matcha (Green Tea) Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients:
1 cup homemade yogurt or plain whole milk yogurt
1 teaspoon matcha (green tea) powder

Mix small amount of yogurt with tea and sugar to make smooth mixture.
Incorporate into rest of yogurt and mix well until completely blended.
Chill in the fridge for a few hours then churn the mix in the ice cream
machine/frozen yogurt maker according to the manufacturer’s instruction.

As a society, we are seemingly more worried about what we put into our bodies – you see a bigger push for stores and even restaurants to offer organic, all-natural and gluten-free foods, but I wonder, does that same desire for chemical-free living extend to our body care products as well? Pick up any bottle of “mainstream” shampoo and you may find yourself face to face with a list of ingredients that you cannot pronounce, or that contain harsh agents such as parabens, alcohol, and sulfates, just to name a few. If we demand all-natural products for the inside, we should do the same for the outside! Just Natural Organic Care offers a full line of hair and skin products made from organic ingredients, as well as being free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and gluten! In addition to that, they are also vegan and cruelty-free! Krista over at Savory Savings had the chance to try out Just Natural Organic Care’s psoriasis line of haircare products including the shampoo, conditioner, vinegar rinse and body soap! Be sure to check out her full review as she shares about softer hair and an itch-free scalp for the whole family!
