Day of {Dark} Chocolate

Hello Monday!  My day started out with a 3.5 mile run.  Felt great, no knee pain, lots of calories burned!  I am now enjoying a hot mug of coffee and going thru my 200+ emails from the weekend.  (No appetite yet…weird…)

While gallivanting in Northern Michigan this weekend, I came across Crooked Tree Breadworks in Petoskey, Michigan.  Known for their homemade baked bread (9 kinds), of course, they also bake scones, crostini, biscotti, and pistachios...and Addictive Granola!

It is perfectly sweet, crunchy, and filling.  I ‘spoke’ over email with Greg from Breadworks and he said they sell Addictive Granola at a local market here in the Detroit area!  That made my day.

Back to Sunday…

After arriving home, I unpacked, started some laundry, took a shower, and watched Food, Inc.

My first time indulging in the Pomegranate 0% Greek Yogurt of Chobani.  HEAVEN in my mouth!  It’s definitely sweeter and more flavorful than the other Chobani flavors (don’t get me wrong, I enjoy ALL Chobani flavors).  Here are some facts about Pomegranate Chobani:

I love chobani! Still haven't tried the pomegranate though, I wasn't sure if I would like it...your review makes me want to :) Oh and I only drink my coffee in enormous mugs!

Haha, I love the "addictive" granola...isn't all granola addictive?! Food, Inc is such a great movie, but I'm not surprised you went with a salad after watching it!
