Friday Food Favs: YOGIDIP
It is the word that makes my heart smile. It makes a wonderful spread on sandwiches and it almost makes fresh vegetables taste better (although it is difficult to improve on a fresh purple carrot or a hydroponically grown cherry tomato)! One of unique features about this dip is that—as its name suggests—it is made out of Greek yogurt. Yes, the very delightful yogurt that is carefully strained in order to offer it a thick texture that is closer to sour cream than traditional runny yogurt. For a texture eater like me, thicker means better! While there is no hint of the "tanginess" of yogurt, it has all of the same "good bacteria" (a feature I thought some of you health-conscious consumers might want to know!).
I personally, have tasted the 3 out of the 5 different flavors and by far my favorite is the Garden Vegetable; however you like all things spicy than the Jalapeno cheese one is for you!
You can find this 7th wonder of the chip N dip world at Ralphs, Jensen’s, Henry’s....and other little markets like my university Farm Store.

52 Living: Oopsy!
Other than ripped what title would you give this picture...?
Hmmm... embarrassing perhaps? Well, that was precisely the word that flashed across my mind as I discovered (at home) what had happened to my pants (at work). Mortification indeed! Thank goodness for long work shirts!

Favorite Food Friday
Today's featured food favorite is actually a product I was first introduced to after I began work at the university farm store. These Multigran Chips from Food Should Taste Good are amazing!!The entire brand is actually wonderful; however, these chips take the cake for me! Each chip is sturdy and thick with great texture and unique visual appeal (gotta love the octagonal shape and the flax seeds!).
Not only is this chip packed with monounsaturated fat (4 g) and light on the saturated fat (1g), each serving offers 3 grams of fiber--details I know that you non-nutrition people probably were dying to know!
They make a delightful foundation for nachos and nicely accompany chili or soup. They even work well as a cracker replacement when you want something crunchy to go along side your afternoon snack of apples and cheese but are all out of crackers!
Many of the major grocery stores and food marts have them (bless me... even Starbucks carries some of their products!). Go HERE to find out a location near you that carries theses ymmies. Enjoy!
