The week has finally winded down and I must say whew, it sure has been a busy one. Wednesday night I took my first Managerial Economics exam and overall, it went pretty well. This class is known to really get the gears working in your brain. I’m so jealous of  Courtney who completed it last spring!

The weather in Gainesville has dropped down to a cool 80 degrees which is very exciting. Any “cold front” is a perfect excuse for Floridians to swap out their tank top wardrobe for furry hooded jackets and Ugg Boots.

On the “food front,” this week I’ve  focused on using fresh and simple ingredients. For the few months remaining in 2009, my goal is to live simply and eat simply. Each day I’m going to find a simple, feel-good and then tweet about it. For example, yesterday’s simple, feel-good was seeing pumpkins for sale at the grocery store.

Peach Nonfat Chobani Greek Yogurt

Review: This was my first time trying Chobani Greek Yogurt because well, I’ve always been a Stonyfield kind of girl. Overall, their Greek yogurt tasted just ok. I was kind of disappointed in the subtle fruity flavor and that the peach chunks were so small. For a 6oz cup, the 14 grams of protein were impressive but the 19 grams of sugars weren’t. I would buy these again though!
