I’ve become a Greek yogurt convert in the past few months. My favorite dessert, which I indulge in almost daily, is plain Chobani Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of manuka honey and some pecans. Who needs ice-cream anymore?
By the way, not all Greek yogurts are created equal. We’ve bought “The Greek Gods” brand on Sunday, and I am suffering though it.
The only downside of Chobani is that it’s not organic, but the ice-cream that I used to eat was not organic either, so I am still on the path to improvement here.

yum yum yum and yum.
I think fresh direct has organic greek yogurt. We often buy stonyfield. Ever since Audrey was born we (meaning I ) converted to all dairy and eggs to be organic. In the past months I started to only buy organic chicken for the entire family as well as apples, strawberries and blueberries.
They say anything with thin skin should be organic. For ex strawberries, but oranges have thick skin so no need to spend the extra on organic.
PS. just learned the apples are the #1 fruit to be sprayed with who knows what. So if you are going to pick one thing to buy organic. Pick apples.

Yes, I read bad things about conventional apples too, but still buy them more often than organic kind. If I give them to Aroshka, I peel the skin off.
We consistently buy 3 organic things only — eggs, milk and Aroshka’s yogurt (although he is not a big fan and eats very little diary overall). I try to buy other diary products organic when possible as well (butter and sour cream mostly).
It’s great that you’ve switched to better chicken for the whole family. I’ve started to buy “natural” chicken, which is not as great as organic, but a step up from the conventional one I think. I also absolutely hate the idea of farmed fish, so we bought wild Alaskan king salmon last time and I think that’s what we’ll keep doing in the future.
Ah, this whole thing with food drives me crazy (scares the hell out of me) at times. I think that if we ever buy a house in suburbia, I’ll grow a lot of stuff myself and will have some fruit trees. Some of my fondest childhood memories are about summer times at my grandmother’s house, where we picked fresh cherries, gooseberries, strawberries, plums, apples, pears, etc, etc right from her yard.

What is the difference between organic and natural? Base on the article natural is better than organic.

Oh my God this is my new thing too. I like Wegmans brand which is hard to get, but Chobani is ok, too. I buy really dark bitter chocolate and crumble in a little bit at a time. Heaven.

I have not seen Wegmans brand in the stores around here. If I spot in a fancier place, I’ll give it a try.
Mmmm, now I want dark chocolate!!!

Yuck, dark chocolate!
I thought that I should add my 2 cents to this conversation too.
