Food, Glorious Food

 Do you ever go down an isle at the grocery store and wonder what the other brands of a particular item taste like?  Well, I do.  I don't LOVE yogurt like some people do, but I do enjoy it.  Grant is one that falls into the LOVE group though.  I thought it would be fun to do our own yogurt tasting experiment. So, here's the line up.

Brown Cow, Chobani, Fage, Oikos, Open Nature, Yoplait, Noosa

We went for taste only - didn't take into account the price.

I tried to get the same flavor for all of them, but they didn't have them, so we got vanilla or strawberry. I also realize that some are regular yogurt and some are greek yogurt, so they are going to be quite different.  OK, so our testing isn't all that accurate, but we're amateurs.

 One or two of them were absolutely NASTY.

 Grant loved all of them, of course. So to figure out the ones he and Ava liked the most, they would point to the spot on their plate and ask for more of _____ one.

Our results:

Brown Cow: creamy, med. thickness, organic/original taste

Chobani: thick, greek, best of the greek yogurts

Fage: thick, tastes like sour cream, YUCK, "do not try this at home" :)

Oikos: thick, creamy, tastes like greek yogurts yoplait (fake sweetness)

Open Nature: med thickness, fresh tasting, less "yogurty" taste than some of the others

Yoplait: thin, tastes fake / "candy-ish"

Noosa: creamy, thick, more "yogurty" taste

Favorites:

Adam: Brown Cow and Noosa

Summer: Brown Cow, Open Nature and Noosa

Noah: Oikos, Chobani

Ava: Brown Cow and Open Nature

Grant: Brown Cow and Chobani

   

We had a variety of favorites, but the all around winner is BROWN COW.  

We'll have to do another taste test sometime. Any suggestions? 

 Family Night Pizza - My little chefs.

The kids loved rolling out their own dough and putting on their toppings. They actually ate it without a fight too. Maybe we should make them do all their meals. 

The Deaners came to visit last weekend, and we had lots of fun.  Now I know how Mary feels - I didn't take one picture.  I knew Erika was snapping hundreds of pictures all the time, so I didn't feel the need to even get my camera out.  She puts me to shame, both in the AMOUNT of pictures and the QUALITY. But I don't care, because she took some amazing pictures while they were here.  We had fun showing them around and visiting with them.  Thanks again for coming, Deaners.  I hope the rest of you all take a lesson from them, and come visit.  No invitation or prior warning (OK maybe a day or two) needed.
