Fa-yeh! Yogurt



Photo found here

I've recently discovered Fage Greek Yogurt (as the container instructs, it is pronounced Fa-yeh!).  I've seen it (and passed it by) in the grocery store often.  It is expensive, but I found it on sale last week.  It is DELICIOUS, totally worth the extra money and I highly recommend it.  There are two compartments in the yogurt container.  One larger compartment for plain, smooth, non-overpowering, Greek yogurt, and a smaller compartment filled with heavenly, sweet, fruit puree/jam.  The flavors (cherry-pomegranate, blueberry-acai, honey, mango-guanabana, and strawberry-goji) remind me of the fruit (and fun!) in the Dominican Republic.  At about 120 calories per serving, it is a perfect afternoon (or late-night) snack.

Say Cheese for Cheese



Rarely do I make something that is picture worthy, but I couldn't resist with this cheese plate.  It consisted of parmesan, bleu, goat, cheddar and swiss cheeses, two types of crackers, three types of dipping mustard and salami, pepperoini, and prosciutto.  I bought the olives from the olive bar at the grocery store, but made the oven-dried tomatoes myself.  I also made no-knead peasant bread to serve with this cheese platter, but it wasn't picture worthy (despite the fact it took 3 days and a broken wooden spoon to make).

I'm sorry to say that this beautiful platter shattered into THOUSANDS of pieces the next day.  Luckily the food was happily packed away in my stomach. 

Next step, getting grown-up cheese knives, these cute cheese markers and these wine glass markers.
