With fall weather upon us, I took the first opportunity to bust out my boots!
Mah Boots!
(Funny story about these boots: My mom ordered them for me for Christmas two years ago and when I went to try them on I had two left feet! I am rather klutzy, so it seemed fitting. Luckily I received the right boot within a month. Phew!)
Since it was slightly chilly outside, I began craving a cup of hot chocolate on my walk with the dog this morning. I am a true chocoholic. I am always in the mood for the creamy, cocoa flavor of anything chocolate. This morning I decided to make myself a chocolate breakfast bowl using Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and cocoa powder to satisfy my chocolate craving.

I began by blending a quarter cup of cottage cheese with a plain Oikos organic yogurt cup, a spoonful of cocoa powder and a dash of Splenda for added sweetness.

The mixture tasted like chocolate cheesecake! Yum.
I sprinkled the creamy chocolate base with chocolate chips and half of a cocoa chip full bar that I took from my parents’ house this weekend. Thanks Mom and Dad!

I had a FullBar once and they are so good. But I wasn’t quite full – I felt like I could eat 5 of them!
Those boots are nice! I need to get out and buy some new shoes now that winter is around the corner. I love that you post pics of Sadie–she is too darn cute!

I’ve never seen cottage cheese with Greek yogurt before. I usually put cocoa powder with strawberries & bananas.
I can’t wait to try this amazing recipe.
Julie – you’ve finally gotten me to eat cottage cheese!!! Between this and your protein pancakes, I found a place for cottage cheese in my heart – thank you!
You caught me! I am a REALLY fast eater, so fast, that next time I’m going to set a timer next time i eat. I can finish an entire pizza in 10 minutes. Yes. It’s that bad!
Also, what makes a restaurant contemporary?
