Hello! Happy Tuesday!
I am happy to report that this weekend the sun finally showed it’s face and warmed Minneapolis creating a beautiful weekend!
Last, weekend, along with yesterday, Steve and I made sure to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, cause as normal it won’t be around for long and we will be back to the frigid cold this weekend.
When looking for our house, we wanted something close to Minneapolis, and surrounded by parks, walking paths and bike trails. We were fortunate enough to get just that. We live off Theodore Wirth Parkway and near Theorde Wirth Golf Course in Minneapolis.
So, after celebrating my favorite day, National Peanut Butter Day, on Saturday with a some peanut butter toast, a grapefruit, and yogurt, we set out for a long walk down the Parkway.
Have you tried the limited batch Chobani Green Tea yogurt? We tried it on Saturday. One vote yes, for me. One vote no, for Steve.
To be honest, we didn’t get a whole lot of green tea flavor. I thought it tasted like plain yogurt, just less sour and bitter and slightly sweeter. I don’t love plain yogurt and I think if I ate the green tea on a regular basis, it would help me transition easier to plain yogurt. I would purchase it again.
Next, we laced up our walking shoes, put the sun glasses on and headed for the Parkway.
We have lived in our house for almost three years, walked the same paths many times together and have never known about the rock below until at Christmas when reminiscing with my parents and my dad enlightened us with a cool geography fact.
We live right near the “45th parallel of the latitude, which is midway between the equator and the north pole”. How cool is that! So, naturally, I had to stop and take a picture. This was the best I could do, since the sun was shining right at me, which I was not complaining about.
Then as we contiuned down the path we witnessed a cross country ski event at Theodore Wirth Golf Course. And, this beautiful view of Minneapolis.
Once, we got home, Steve cooked a simple yet delicious chicken lunch, while I picked up the house and got ready to go shopping with my friend Meg (at mymonochromaticlife).
When, I got home after shopping, I didn’t realize how late it was, so I had leftover lunch and topped it off with a home brewed beer. Steve has made many batches of beer, but this one has been my favorite! It’s a beautiful golden brown color, light flavor, not extremely hoppy and not bitter. Just perfect!!
Sunday, we had errands and dinner with my family. Then Monday, back to work followed by another long walk with Steve on the Parkway and grape yogurt.
This is the other Limited Edition flavor by Chobani. This one got 2 votes yes from Steve and I. I have to say the product was surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure what to think when I first read grape yogurt, but as always my interest was peaked so I had to try it. The yogurt wasn’t to sweet and had a slight fake grape flavor. When I first ate it I thought of grape laffy taffy, which didn’t last long and had a clean after taste. I would definitely buy this flavor again.
I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend! Did you get outside and enjoy the warm weather? If so, I would love to hear about it.
Stop by Thursday, to read about the other Chobani Yogurts that I have been loving for breakfast these last couple weeks!
