Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!
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.
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.
Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.
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!
Now that I’ve all but professed my love for these new flavas, it’s your turn to give ’em a try!

Kimberly says
When it comes to caramel and chocolate, my all-time favorite is a candy that my mom and I used to make around the holidays. It was basically a chocolate shell for ooey-gooey caramel, which we made ourselves. So good!
Robin says
Homemade brownies are my weakness. Throw some reeses pieces into the dough and I’m in heaven!

Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
Is it super sweet?? I’ve shy-ed (sp?) away from it in the past because I thought it would be too sweet. Did you eat all the “topping”?
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
i really liked it & didn’t find it too sweet. i actually thought it almost tasted LESS sweet than some of the fruitier or honey flavors.

Carrie Mills says
I love chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce!!! Not good for you but oh so tasty!!
Megan says
I love salted caramel ice cream with a chocolate ganache sauce. It’s a little on the calorie heavy side, so I usually go with the Stonyfield Farm Creme Caramel frozen yogurt with Trader Joe’s Midnight Moo Chocolate Sauce. It’s fat free! Sometimes I add a pinch of sea salt on top to really bring out the flavors. It’s a great indulgence and 1/2 the fat of the real thing! 🙂
Rebecca says
My favorite thing ever would probably be my S’mores bars. Graham cracker bottom, chocolate bars, marshmallow fluff, then more graham cracker yummyness on top. It’s such a naughty treat, but once in a blue moon (or maybe every 2-3), I make these. They are so yum!
Colleen says
Warm chocolate or caramel sauce poured over vanilla ice cream is amazing! And I love making homemade chocolate chip cookies every once in awhile as a treat :).
Jen @ Spacks Scramble says
Caramel chip granola bars dipped in chocolate. Yum!
