Oikos yogurts, wrapped up like chocolates:
I tried the caramel yesterday at work and I am in love! The yogurt is just lightly sweet- kind of reminded me of a caramel macchiato. It is a fabulous dessert yogurt! Stonyfield has lots of exciting things going on this month, including a contest to win a trip to a Vermont organic dairy farm during fall foliage season. Check out more info here.
I have been thinking a lot about how great foodie blog world is and was thinking about how I could show my appreciation. I came up with the idea of a Blogger Act of Kindness (BAoK). Is there a certain blogger out there whose posts you always look forward to? whose recipes just rock? someone who always makes you laugh? Let them know! You can do this in a number of ways: 1. Send them an email just letting them know what they mean to you, 2. Send them a card, 3. Send them a little goodie, or 4. Anything else you can think of! If you end up sending a BAoK, let me know. Shoot me an email (with pictures if you have any) to Itzyskitchen at gmail dot com. I sent my first BAoK to a blogger who I think just rocks! More info to come....
One last thing. I have to attend a work event with Josh tonight, so I got a sub for my Body Attack class. This left me with some open time this morning to squeeze in a run outside!!!! I rocked through 6 miles in the heat- felt wonderful. I am SO ready for summer, how about you?

ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the run! I am SO SO SO happy we finally have some SUN here and the bonus is warm temps too! I have a race tomorrow which I'm adding into my long run... just not sure how yet. Looking forward to a little Easter candy indulgence too this weekend!
Way to go on the run!
ReplyDeleteAnd BAOK - such an amazing idea! I'm sure you've just made a lot of people's day :)
I'm leaving the dorms for a couple of days to stay with some family friends, but that's about it! Laid-back Easter over here!
What a lovely concept with BAoK! Could you get any sweeter girl, I mean seriously?! I have to admit that I am usually Chobani loyal but these yogurts I've been seeing look fabulous ;) Have a most fantastic Friday dear and enjoy this weather!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run! I am hopefully taking my first outdoor run of the season tomorrow if the weather holds up!

BAOK is the best acronym ever! i love it! i do that all the time.. i just don't really ever talk about it. the most recent one is this: i saw kailey (snackface) write on brookes (homegirls) wall that she could not find a specific color of nail polish. so i found it online and ordered it and had it shipped to her house! she got it today :) hope you and josh have a great weekend! xoxo
ReplyDelete6 mile run....girl you so impress me. i can rock out a 3 mile walk that's it. keep up the excellent work!

ReplyDeleteI love act of kindness! I always try and do little treats for my friends to let them know they are loved (plus that way I don't have to keep the baked goods in my kitchen!).
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of watch do you have? I'm on a budget but am thinking about getting one that can do split times.
Thanks for the post! and I'm looking forward to the results of BAoK
