I’m not sure what it is lately – but I have been madly craving greek yogurt! My friend Kristin eats Chobani all the time, and I’ve seen a lot of it in the blogging community because of the new flavors, so when I was at Costco this weekend, I finally picked up a package!
Breakfast was a nice change of pace – Strawberry Chobani, some PB Puffins for crunch, and dried fruit (I used half of the bag you see below):

Totally hit the spot! Cravings are just weird like that sometimes!
Seeing as I also bought a 10lb bag of organic carrots, and a 4lb bag of broccoli while at Costco – I thought it best to incorporate those into my lunch:

Carrots and Sabra, and quick Broccoli salad (100 calories of light mayo, and lots of balsamic vinegar!)

Remember how I said I was craving greek yogurt? Yeah – it was a pretty hardcore craving, because I went and had a snack that looked almost exactly like breakfast, just swap out the PB Puffins for Cheerios!

After work, I came home to find: A PACKAGE!!! (standard “I got a package” jigging ensued)

It was from the fabulous Miss Whit! After seeing my banana crumble disaster last week, she sent me some homemade banana bread, and the sweetest note I’ve ever received!

Humina, humina! Look at that delicious-ness!!!

I immediately got out a knife and cut a big chunk for myself, and Mike! Mike was happy to be eating REAL baked goods:

Side digression note: Why does my house resemble a Highlights Magazine “Search & Find”? Can you find the: sports bra on the kitchen table, random huge pizza coupon hanging way off the fridge, and bike on the patio? Ahh, such is my life…
Lando was happy – but torn – “Who do I beg from, Mommy, or Daddy??“:

and “just like that!” - a fairly sizable chunk of the banana bread was gone!

Whit – this was DELICIOUS! I don’t think it will last even 2 full days in our house! (SHHH – Don’t tell my Mom – but) this is the BEST banana bread I’ve ever had!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH WHIT - YOU ARE JUST THE SWEETEST!! I (as well as Mike & Lando!!) appreciate your thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity (and superior baking skills)!!!!
Since I totally ruined my dinner eating massive quantities of banana bread – I went super quick and easy – 2 veggie dogs, 2 pickles:

All in all – a pretty darn good night!

We are headed to Costco right now for my weekly staples: a 10 lb. bag of organic carrots, the big ole bag of broccoli, a tub of spinach and a tub of Sabra. I’m proud of the first three. Not so proud of the giant tub of hummus I go through each week.

Lady – how early do you eat your dinners!?! That looks like my snacktime, and I’m sort of jealous. Mainly because I’ll still be at the office for another hour, earning about 50 cents for my time here, not eating.

Wow, that was so nice of her to send you banana bread! haha, I just went ahead and made my own after I read your post, I’m such a nice person….. Well, I’m glad you are enjoying the banana bread.
For some reason I am unable to see anyone’s pictures on their posts, which is very frustrating. So, I can’t play hide and seek and look for your sports bra on the kitchen table, so sad
I’m excited for your GREAt giveaway!

It is not unusual at all for there to be a sports bra on my dining room table. Or a pair of shoes. Don’t ask.
That bread looks wonderful. I love banana bread.
