Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!
My bowl o’ pasta was a bit different today, as it did not include my beloved red sauce. Instead I opted for a cheesy sauce made with melted Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese wedge and Babybel cheese.
The combination of the two cheese flavors was delicious and definitely stood out against the chopped spinach and lightly steamed broccoli I also included in the bowl.
Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.
So stinkin’ good!
Last week Stonyfield (the company that makes Oikos organic Greek yogurt) sent me some coupons to sample their new caramel and chocolate Greek yogurt.
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know I am basically in love with Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and fantastic protein content, so naturally I jumped at the chance to try the new dessert-like flavors.
All I can say is hoooooooly (organic) cow! 😀
Both flavors were incredibly delicious, though I think for the first time in my entire life I preferred the caramel variety to the chocolate.
I really liked how the caramel and chocolate “topping” was located at the bottom of the cup, because it allowed me to enjoy as much or as little of the sweetness I wanted to at any given bite. Gotta love a healthy way to satisfy that sweet tooth!
Now that I’ve all but professed my love for these new flavas, it’s your turn to give ’em a try!

Anything that involves dark chocolate is my favorite. Lately I’ve been making portion control desserts out of TJ’s oreo mint chip sandwiches and sometimes the Clif Z-Bar Chocolate Brownie flavor!
Since it has been so hot this summer, I have been eating lots of icecream – always chocolate!!!!
When it comes to caramel and chocolate, my all-time favorite is a candy that my mom and I used to make around the holidays. It was basically a chocolate shell for ooey-gooey caramel, which we made ourselves. So good!
Homemade brownies are my weakness. Throw some reeses pieces into the dough and I’m in heaven!

I absolutely adore chocolate covered pecans, peanuts, cashews. And well, ice cream with hot sauce is always good.
Chocolate turtles… the perfect combination

Dove choclate with caramel.. Put those suckers in the fridge and whenever you’re having a bad day, pop one in your mouth. Definitely makes the day better.
I just love plain old caramels! The square ones wrapped in plastic! mmmm.. (or the ones with chocolate outsides) you seriously can’t go wrong with either!
I am a fan on twitter! (@vivalameaganx3)
I looove chocolate topping on ice cream, whipped cream or yogurt. Mmmm, making me hungry!

I also “followed” Stonyfield on Twitter and “liked” Stonyfield on FB 🙂
Is it super sweet?? I’ve shy-ed (sp?) away from it in the past because I thought it would be too sweet. Did you eat all the “topping”?
i really liked it & didn’t find it too sweet. i actually thought it almost tasted LESS sweet than some of the fruitier or honey flavors.
two words…buckeye cookies

Homemade vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce!
anything with chocolate and pretzels!
Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies! THE BEST!!! I made delicious ones the other week!
I LOVE frozen banana slices on top of chocolate frozen yogurt with a drizzle of warm caramel sauce and waffle cone bits to eat it!
I love German’s Chocolate Cake!
Chocolate ice cream, ice cream with chocolate notions in it, or running through it, or on top of it. Yum.
I loved the article on dailySpark, by the way!
I just followed and liked Stoneyfield Farms!
S’mores are my favorite chocolate dessert!
Anything with chocolate + caramel is out of this world, but one of my faves would probably have to be caramel swirl brownies. YUM!!

i could eat just about anything with chocolate in it, but my current fave chocolate dish is tiramisu! i’ve never made it myself, but love to order it when I’m out to eat!
I’m going to have to go with chocolate covered peanut brittle. The good quality kind is to die for!
Carmel turtle sundaes! Of all the things I want to win, this contest is currently at the top of the list!
I love chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce!!! Not good for you but oh so tasty!!
I love salted caramel ice cream with a chocolate ganache sauce. It’s a little on the calorie heavy side, so I usually go with the Stonyfield Farm Creme Caramel frozen yogurt with Trader Joe’s Midnight Moo Chocolate Sauce. It’s fat free! Sometimes I add a pinch of sea salt on top to really bring out the flavors. It’s a great indulgence and 1/2 the fat of the real thing! 🙂
My favorite thing ever would probably be my S’mores bars. Graham cracker bottom, chocolate bars, marshmallow fluff, then more graham cracker yummyness on top. It’s such a naughty treat, but once in a blue moon (or maybe every 2-3), I make these. They are so yum!
Warm chocolate or caramel sauce poured over vanilla ice cream is amazing! And I love making homemade chocolate chip cookies every once in awhile as a treat :).
Caramel chip granola bars dipped in chocolate. Yum!
