Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!
Noodle Bowl + Cheeeeeese
My bowl o’ pasta was a bit different today, as it did not include my beloved red sauce. Instead I opted for a cheesy sauce made with melted Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese wedge and Babybel cheese.
Laughing Cow + Babybel
The combination of the two cheese flavors was delicious and definitely stood out against the chopped spinach and lightly steamed broccoli I also included in the bowl.
Lunchtime!
Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.
Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt
So stinkin’ good!
Last week Stonyfield (the company that makes Oikos organic Greek yogurt) sent me some coupons to sample their new caramel and chocolate Greek yogurt.
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know I am basically in love with Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and fantastic protein content, so naturally I jumped at the chance to try the new dessert-like flavors.
All I can say is hoooooooly (organic) cow! 😀
Both flavors were incredibly delicious, though I think for the first time in my entire life I preferred the caramel variety to the chocolate.
I really liked how the caramel and chocolate “topping” was located at the bottom of the cup, because it allowed me to enjoy as much or as little of the sweetness I wanted to at any given bite. Gotta love a healthy way to satisfy that sweet tooth!

I love the Dark Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter with apples. Mmm..the dark chocolate flavor is amazing!
Of course any chocolate is good, but my fave is a nice cold class of chocolate milk. Or fancy chocolate mousse from the Italian restaurant downtown. But since I’ve aleady been known to mix chocolate syrup into my Greek yogurt, this is a great combo!
Ok, I have never tried greek yogurt so I would love to win this!

Heath Blizzard with Chocolate Chips from DQ!
A peeled & cored apple with a little bit of butter (where the core used to be) and a little bit of brown sugar or caramel stuffed in the center… microwave for a minute… enjoy… just like apple pie!
Caramel Apples. Amazing.
Sorry, but there’s just nothin’ better than a handful of semisweet chocolate chips to satisfy my chocolate craving! And best part is…no cooking involved!
That’s tough – but my favorite caramel AND chocolate treat is this popcorn near my house in Pittsburgh – Carmel Popcorn, chocolate drizzle, coconut flakes…. in other words…AMAZING!
Ice Cream Sundays! yummy, I think this might be the next best thing!
that’s a hard question for a chocolate lover like me! i’d have to say some classic chocolate chip cookies. the salty/sweet crunchy/chewy aspects of each cookie make them the perfect chocolate dish for me 🙂
Oh dear, just about anything!
Pretzels or ice cream dipped in chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chocolate cake, chocolate….. 🙂

Remember those Dad’s Goodie Rings? Graham oatmeal ring cookies dipped and drizzled in chocolate? Well I had a coffee cake like that ages ago that had caramel and toffee in it as well. Julie- there are NO WORDS…. I almost died!

Chocolate and CaRaMeL are great in an oAtmeAL bowL!!! mmmmmmmmmmmm
I’m super curious how you melted the cheese into your pasta dish? Micro? and did you melt it seperately, or does it just melt when you heat up your noodle bowl? I know the laughing cow is pretty soft but I remember babel being pretty firm.
Also I tried to make a string cheese quesadilla (inspired by you!) but the cheese refused to melt! I’m thinking it’s because I was cooking it in a pan with a little cooking spray …(I don’t have a microwave at home)…Anyways, I’m curious how you make your ‘dilla as well.
Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information approximately this subject for ages and yours is the best I’ve
found out till now. However, what about the bottom line?
Are you certain concerning the supply?
Hi Julie,
I’d love to try this bowl. How do you do the cheese – do you heat up the pasta and then just stir the cheese when you’re about to eat it or do you stir it in when you make the pasta the night before? Also – do you season your broccoli or just plain?
Thanks!
