Olympic Games Frito-Lay's - Video Review

Sorry for the long hiatus, but I currently have a bid in on a house!! Please send me all your good house-buying vibes and reviews will be back on schedule very soon!

Chobani Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Flip - Target

Chobani Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Flip - Target

You know what we all need, MORE YOGURTS. Because the American market doesn't have enough protein-filled pumpkin flavored Greek yogurts this season. (Can you tell I'm bitter? I'm totally bitter.)

When all of the Greek yogurt hype started, I really thought it was a gimmick. I figured this was a way to get protein junkies to spend more cash on dairy, but I'm starting to really like this stuff. All these fancy flavors drew me in, like watermelon, and like a moth to the flame, I'm now a member of the Greek yogurt cult. (Do we get track suits?)

I reviewed the Bananas Foster version last week, which had pretty much the same packaging, so I am skipping my usual design discussion, so let's get right into the review.

Aldi came out with a bunch of fancy Greek yogurts this month, and I bought every single one. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm slowly but surely joining the cult of Greek yogurt addicts. All of the fancy flavors and things to review are Greek these days, so there's really no avoiding it from a food blogger standpoint, but it really is growing on me.

Enough rambling, let's see if this yogurt is as "indulgent" as it claims to be.

Oh hey, it's that thing I saw on the internet!

Greek yogurts are still super popular, and I'm slowly but surely being converted to the Greek side with their yummy cinnamon bun, rhubarb, watermelon, and banana flavorings, so I just had to give this a try. I mean it's a yogurt flavored like a sandwich? As a food blogger I'd feel like a failure if I didn't check something like this out. Plus I pass Trader Joe's on my way home from work every single day. It's a sign. I had to have to yogurt.

Chobani Concord Grape Limited Batch Greek Yogurt - Walmart: Berlin, NJ

Chobani Concord Grape Limited Batch Greek Yogurt - Walmart: Berlin, NJ

It's been a while since I reviewed a Chobani flavor, I think the last one I did was the deliciously refreshing Watermelon last August, and I saw that there are currently two new flavors in their Limited Batch line, Green Tea and Concord Grape. I'm sure those some like amazing flavors to some of you, but to me, they are foodie nightmare-fuel. I am not a fan of grape flavored anything due to my childhood experiences with grape flavored medicine, and green tea is a little too earthy for my tastes. (I prefer black tea.) Neither of these appealed to me personally, but my curiosity got the better of me. After all, I've never had a grape flavored yogurt before. Maybe it could be amazing! I decided to take a risk on this one and into my handcart it went.

Limited Edition Yoplait Cinnamon Roll Greek Yogurt - Walmart: Berlin,NJ

Limited Edition Yoplait Cinnamon Roll Greek Yogurt - Walmart: Berlin,NJ

There have been so many new yogurts released this month, I wasn't sure where I should start, but when I saw this, I new I had to try it. Cinnamon buns are one of my favorite sweets. When they are soft, and warm, and when the icing is still all runny, they turn any bad day into a good one. I rarely get to have them, and I've been craving one really badly, so let's see if this Greek yogurt can satisfy my stomach. (That's what these are meant to do, right? They act as a healthier alternative to eating the real deal. So I'll put it to the test today.)

Oikos Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt - Target: Cherry Hill, NJ

Oikos Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt - Wegman's: Cherry Hill, NJ

I still don't really understand the obsession behind Greek yogurt, but every yogurt brand came out with a Greek seasonal flavor, and with all of my pumpkinpocalypse reviews, it was only a matter of time before I reviewed one of them. Since I enjoyed the Bananas Foster flavor I reviewed a few days ago, I decided to go with Oikos' pumpkin pie yogurt.

I know that Greek Yogurt has been all the rage these last two years, but I'm still on the fence about it. Sure, I've enjoyed a few flavors that I've reviewed on this blog but, when given the choice between strawberry Greek yogurt and a normal strawberry yogurt, I'd go for the normal. Greek yogurt tends to be especially tangy, it has a thicker consistency, and (other than the Watermelon variety that came out this summer) I haven't found a flavor of Greek yogurt that I've enjoyed more than other types of yogurt. With that being said, banana yogurt is my hands down favorite flavor of yogurt, so I really wanted to see if this Banana's Foster version could win me over and convert me to the protein-filled Greek-side.

Gyro Pizza - Aldi: Collingswood, NJ

Gyro Pizza - Aldi: Collingswood, NJ

Firstly, Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. I've been working on a pretty elaborate costume for my boyfriend's trip to FFXIV Fan Fest in Las Vegas this weekend, and even though I started well over a month ago, I still have a lot to do to finish it in time. If any of you know much about the game, he's going as scholar class, so one of the big projects has been making the hat/mortar board.  I'll post about the full costume and the process of making it on my art blog once I have the time, but here's a shot of my little Jack Jack wearing the semi-finished hat (still needs the tassel and charms).

Okay, now on to the food! This was another new pizza from Aldi that caught my eye, so I ran out and bought one the day it was released. Let's see what a Gyro pizza tastes like!

Quickie Review: Papa John's Greek Pizza

Greek Pizza - Papa John's: NJ

Apparently I have been going against the food blogger grain. I was really disappointed in Papa John's last new Pizza, the Sweet Chili Chicken, but I loved the Double Cheeseburger one. (Please bring it back!) Apparently that is the total opposite view of my food blogger brethren.

I really don't see what was so special about that Sweet Chili Chicken pizza, I found it really underwhelming, but that didn't deter me from trying the new Greek themed pizza that was just released.
