Drive-By Posting
Yesterday was a great day! It started out with another encounter with Justin…
Breakfast to go!
…took me to Whole Foods for lunch, and was made sweeter by coming home to this baby:
I am so, so excited to try my Chobani samples!
It ended with a quick dinner of a Morningstar Veggie Burger wrapped in hummus, swiss cheese, avocado, and a La Tortilla wrap, served with carrot fries and salad.
A note for those of you who want to try carrot fries: use more carrots than you think you need! I always need at least five BIG carrots for two people. Last night I only used four and it was just not enough. They shrink!
Today I’m really on the run (hence the drive-by posting) wrapping up loose ends from the week and getting ready to leave tomorrow to celebrate my birthday weekend in my hometown! Yay!
Eats from today so far:
I plan to formally review my Chobani goodies later, but for right now I will just say that the pomegranate flavor was awesome! It had REAL pomegranate arils at the bottom of the yogurt!
Gotta run! Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Oh my gosh, I would die for all of those Chobani samples! Enjoy!!
How do you get all the samples sent to you? I want some free food!!
Hi Michelle!
You’d be surprised what happens when you just ask
Sometimes I get approached by the companies to try their products, but not always. I used to think that bloggers just got approached for free samples, but then I realized, they ask! It works 
Enjoy the Chobani! A lot of mine was hijacked by the toddler when I got the samples…
Have a happy, happy Birthday weekend!
lucky girl! i can only find limited Chobani flavors here! can’t wait to hear about them all…I’ve heard such amazing things about the pineapple for sure!
Argh I wish we had Sandwich thins over here! I think I am most excited to move back so I can buy those!!!
Your eats look delish… and not to mention, you look GORGEOUS!!
hey i thought you were having a “relaxing” afternoon! doesn’t seem like it!
and.
chobani envy.
I can’t believe there were arils in it!! I’ll have to try that
Sweet! You are so lucky and you get to try out flavors I can’t find
Gah! I am SO jealous!!! I have been dying to try some Chobani.
oomg i NEVER make enough carrot fries. maaaajor shrinkage…
I never even heard of carrot fries. We keep getting all these carrots in our CSA and I don’t really like carrots all that much. Maybe I’d like them as fries!
I know…the carrot shrinkage. I was quite disappointed the first time I made them, but lesson learned.
I love that Chobani uses actual POM arils. Bet it’s yummy!
Oh, Chobani. I love Chobani. I wish they were more light on the wallet!
Wow – what a lot of yoghurt! I am sure you will have fun working your way through that box!
Ok so Lindsay and I have that “brilliant minds think alike syndrome” b/c my comment was GOING to be that I have Chobani envy.
Hey just wondering how you got samples from chobani??? i would love some!
Hi Kaila,
I wrote and told them that I would like to review their product for my blog
It’s amazing what happens if you are willing to ask!
Holy Chobani! I want to try all of those great flavors!
I really want to try your carrot fries. They look so good.
I love Justins maple almond! SO delish.
And wow, I will be emailing Chobani soon. I want that fantastic loot!
Yay Justin’s!! Best stuff ever. And yay Chobani! Love the pomegranate but have yet to find it sold around me!
I loooooooooove Chobani! I should buy stock in it for all that I buy. Did you get any raspberry?? I hear the samples have raspberry in it and I am dying to find it! The pom is pretty good, however…
Yay Chobani! I love the pineapple flavour. Also love Amy’s burgers…wish they sold them here
Have a great birthday!
OOH pom chobani? I’ve got to find that! haven’t seen it yet. only the strawb, blueberry and peach so far. My fav amys veggie burger is her veggie quarter pounder. its huge and DELICIOUS!
Oh I love chobani with my whole heart. I usually buy all the plain they have the shelves each week
What did I ever do before Greek yogurt?
Your Chobani looks awesome! Lucky girl =)
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Chobani – I have yet to find it in a grocer near me… booo!
Chobani is DELISH! Thanks for sharing the info on asking companies to review. I just started a blog too and I thought everything was just sent, as well!!
YAHOO for Chobani!! Enjoy taste testing
Your veggie burger/carrot fry dinner looks fabulous. Good to know the carrot fries shrink though. I wouldn’t have had any idea!
I have a big bunch of carrots in my fridge just waiting to be turned into fries
Love the pom chobani! After pineapple, it’s my fav flavor.
Love love love the bag!
My snack staples for my lunch bag are nuts (TJ’s sweet sesame almonds are my favorite), fresh fruit, chopped veggies and hummus, laughing cow and crackers, individual sized popcorn.
Chobani Samples?!
LOOOVE
Have a great weekend, girl!
Lucky you getting all that chobani! I have been wanting to try those sandwich thin things and justins almond butter. I like the fact that they are in little pack.
I’ll have to try to find the POM Chobani – I’ve never seen that flavor before!
Hope you have a kick ass birthday weekend!!!!
Enjoy your Chobani samples! I just polished off the very last of my sample package today.
Your salad and morning star wrap dinner looks so fresh and filling. And of course, carrot fries are the shiz.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! Quarter of a century, woo!
They hooked you up!! I love Chobani!!
i still haven’t gotten my hands on some justins! that is definitely a must
perfect for on the go snackies!

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!?!?! Happy Birthday girlie! I posted about ED/DE just now- http://www.beinghealthier.com/2010/03/13/eating-disorders-or-disordered-eating/
love the chobs and your pants- ( so cute!) carrot fries are such a good idea- I started making parsnip fries and LOVE them!
It’s always good to get nice surprises at your front door. Hmmm, I’m not a fan of carrots, though. Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods.
The green smoothie looks delish!
And enjoy those Chobani samples – what a lovely, big box!
Love deliveries!!
good note on the carrots – I see what you mean!
