Woohoo for yummy lunches!
Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!
Noodle Bowl + Cheeeeeese
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.
Laughing Cow + Babybel
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.
Lunchtime!
Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.
Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt
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!

A couple weeks ago I was about to board a plane home from San Francisco and was feeling severely ill and not at all looking forward to sitting on a plane for the next 5 hours. I bought a bottle of water at a Ghiradelli chocolate stand and they gave me a free piece of Chocolate with caramel inside. Needless to say, it saved my life.
Oh WOW that yogurt looks phenomenal!!
It’s awfully difficult to choose a favorite chocolate or caramel recipe, but a few at the top of my list: butter pecan sundae with banana and caramel sauce; chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel frosting; and good old caramel apples. mmmmm!!

Sorry, but there’s just nothin’ better than a handful of semisweet chocolate chips to satisfy my chocolate craving! And best part is…no cooking involved!
That’s tough – but my favorite caramel AND chocolate treat is this popcorn near my house in Pittsburgh – Carmel Popcorn, chocolate drizzle, coconut flakes…. in other words…AMAZING!
Ice Cream Sundays! yummy, I think this might be the next best thing!

Chocolate and CaRaMeL are great in an oAtmeAL bowL!!! mmmmmmmmmmmm
I’m super curious how you melted the cheese into your pasta dish? Micro? and did you melt it seperately, or does it just melt when you heat up your noodle bowl? I know the laughing cow is pretty soft but I remember babel being pretty firm.
Also I tried to make a string cheese quesadilla (inspired by you!) but the cheese refused to melt! I’m thinking it’s because I was cooking it in a pan with a little cooking spray …(I don’t have a microwave at home)…Anyways, I’m curious how you make your ‘dilla as well.
