Addicted...

Last weekend we went up to visit Jackie & Al in the big city. Always a good time...a little different this time with Nora, but as usual she was a good baby and allowed us to do the things we typically do.  We ate Chicago pizza, Chicago dogs, and "Chicago" Chinese (aka P.F. Changs)-sticking with the Chicago theme! All of which did not let us down even though we walked 45 minutes for the Chicago dog-it was worth it.

On to the part about being addicted...Jackie has me addicted to Chobani's pineapple Greek yogurt after having 1 cup while we were up there.  I should have looked at the price before even trying it because at $1.09 (at Meijer this morning) per 6 oz. cup when I usually get yogurt at Aldi for $0.35 each it kills me! But, it is soo good. I tried skipping last Monday at Kroger and got the Yoplait Greek yogurt...not the same. Even with a $.30 coupon (that doubles to $.60 at Meijer) it was only $.40 per cup, but I only had  1 coupon so I only bought 1.  Back off Jake...that one is mine!  I was so interested in Greek yogurt that I wrote THIS for work on our HNT blog.

Boilers Win & Chitown!



Last weekend we went up to Chicago to visit the newlywed Dimitt family. We love going to Chicago in the fall-the weather is just so nice up there and there are tons of things to do. This time we ate Ginos pizza-so good, went to the Purdue vs. Northwestern game where the Boilers upset their undefeated season with an awesome game. Tickets courtesy of Jakes wide receiver coach from Purdue-Thanks Coach Rock!
In other Purdue news, apparently we are changing our motto from "boiler up" to "makers all". I'm not sure I really understand why or that I like it, but my facebook friends are on fire about it! It just doesnt sound right-I mean if somethings working...dont change it! We are missing the homecoming game tomorrow becuase we have a wedding up near Plymouth, IN. I'm looking forward to seeing my dietetics friend Maria, the bride, and eating the awesome food I know they are having at The Amish Acres-they better have homemade chicken and noodles!
