What I [Created] Wednesday
Yogurt companies should let us design new yogurt flavors. Like seriously.
I’ve seen some awesome creations around the blogworld. Pumpkin yogurt, peanut butter yogurt… and other flavors that the companies haven’t figured out produced (yet).
Lucky for you, you don’t have to wait on them.
As I was exploring the supermarket, I stumbled across these babies.
I’ve seen recipes that call for extracts of flavors but other than vanilla or cocoa, I’ve never used any. Clearly, this needed to change.
When I got home from the store, I was in the mood for a snack, and I had some greek yogurt in the fridge. Are you following where I’m going with this?
Within minutes, my kitchen became a laboratory and shot glasses were turned into beakers.
Coconut yogurt? Yes please.
1 cup greek yogurt, 2 packets of stevia, 5 drops of coconut extract.
If I had pineapple on hand, I would have made pina colada. That would have been epic.
So this was the first of my eats. Normally, I’d stop there, but it’s What I Ate Wednesday, so you get to see allllll my eats. Lucky you, no? These aren’t all from one day, just some recent things I snapped pictures off.
I tried out a Moroccan place called Cous Cous with my friend Kristin, since we had Monday off of work! They had a pretty big lunch menu, and the prices were great!
I got a hummus wrap and it came with a side of “platas” which were kind of like french fries… but they had a bunch of spices on them. It was served with a side of tzatziki sauce and some kind of pesto type of dip. If you’re ever in Richmond, I’d highly recommend this place for a quick lunch!
Oh and just in case you were wondering about the fish… we finally picked names! Ponyo and Keto! (Ponyo is the fish from this movie and Keto means “sea monster” in Greek!) I’m happy to report that I no longer refer to them as 1 fish & 2 fish.
I wish I could have yogurt!
Well I certainly need to branch out with my extracts… I have only ever had vanilla! Boringgg… these look so interesting!
And yes to the yogurt idea 🙂
Yum!! I usually use vanilla extract only but I will need to try others. I have never had Moroccan but looks good!
Great idea with the yogurt! Those platas look awesome! Oh I could so eat those right now, so hungry! Cute fish names too!! 🙂
Mmmm – moroccan is awesome. I’m making my hubby cook a moroccan dinner tonight. Don’t worry, it’s the only meal he cooks – he’ll survive.
I love good Greek food, yum! And extracts plus yogurt is genius. I never know what to do with extracts that aren’t vanilla or almond and aren’t going into baked goods. Hmm, a fun extract blended into a banana protein smoothie? I think you have just inspired me to enliven my after-workout treat…
CousCous has been on my list of places to try! Lunch looks great!
Oooo I love the yogurt idea!! Gotta do that myself. I also love adding different flavor extracts to hot chocolate.. you can totally change it up in a few drops. 🙂
What an awesome idea for flavoring yogurt yourself, I love it!
Love Moroccan food! The best I’ve had was actually in France!
Also love extracts — maple is super yummy.
