seasonal treats
I’m a yogurt eater and a yogurt lover. Yeah, you heard me. I love yogurt and always have. (No thank you Jamie Lee Curtis and your commercials for Activia. I grew up knowing about acidophilus thanks to my favorite southern milk, Purity Sweet Acidophilus, so mnah!)
I adore yogurt, but not the thick Greek style, the normal thin low-fat kind. Definitely not non-fat, either. Runny much? And don’t be handing me no Yoplait or Columbo crap, they’re too sweet. I want my corn syrup in my candy where I can see it and feel it, not otherwise healthy things, you get me? The best brands I’ve found are Stonyfield Farm and Trader Joe’s. Oh so good. My favorite thing to do is take plain yogurt and mix it with preserves.
This time of the year is the best because it’s pumpkin butter season. Mix up summadat with the plain yogurt and you got yourself a delicious and healthy pumpkin pie alternative. Hellzyeah! Trader Joe’s has a nice pumpkin butter, too.
Don’t get me started on Trader Joe’s. Their organic preserves are to die for; delectable and seemingly indulgent. Their kettle corn is perfect, their dried mango is heavenly and has become an addiction, and there’s always 3 buck chuck. I’m almost always surprised by how little it all cost me when I get to the register, which is quite welcome.
I’m just sayin’ is all.
