Greek Yogurt
Have you ever tasted Greek yogurt?
The consistency is so thick, and the taste is so bland.
It comes in 2% reduced fat, 1% reduced fat, and fat-free.
Add to it your favorite fruit or other sweet toppings, you’ll be surprised how delicious it will be.
Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, oranges, or even dark chocolate chips.
Finish it off with granola to give it some crunch and some honey to give it some sweetness.
Yum, delicious.
Greek yogurt is that simple yogurt that tastes bland until you add delicious toppings to it.
Give Greek yogurt a try; you might like it.From Guest Contributor Hope Scippio

One Last Time
The ringing in Timothy’s ears from nearby bombs gives way to headaches and fear. Doctors are scrambling while patients are moaning and yelling for their mothers.
He closes his eyes and remembers the last time kissing Amanda, laying under the large oak tree after a summer picnic. Her lips tasting of fresh strawberries, the sweetness giving him a quiver. He wants to go back to that happier, peaceful place.
A nurse is moving his stretcher with great speed. “We need to evacuate.”
As the blinding brightness approaches the vehicle, and soldiers scream, he tastes Amanda’s strawberry kiss one last time.

Berries
An unpleasant task of my youth was picking raspberries in our backyard. Raspberries are the least tasty of Oregon’s big three, the others being blackberries and strawberries. Raspberries are also soft, easily squashed and have unpleasant texture. At times I imagined cutting the roots as a way to avoid picking them. Blackberries and marionberries (a kind of blackberry) are pleasures that can be picked while standing up and grow wild, so one need not grow them yourself or pay for u-pick. Oregon strawberries are the best tasting strawberries, but they must be bought or paid for by back breaking u-pick.
