Cooking and other news

I absolutely LOVE Greek yogurt...Chobani is my brand of choice:)
I'd heard that you could cook with it and that you could substitute greek yogurt in certain recipes....
so, I decided that I would use the above yogurt in my chicken salad, instead of mayonnaise.

This is not the best picture...

I threw together the above chicken salad using a rotisserie chicken, grapes, pecans, and of course Chobani plain non-fat yogurt...my creation that was supposed to last for lunch for a few days, only made it one with my bottomless pit (aka Bradley).  

Last weekend my cousins (Jen, Ben, Brett & Eric) came in town.  Saturday night we ate at The Post House...very good!  Ever since then I've been wanting to cook something using balsamic vinaigrette. 

Wednesday night I baked chicken that I covered with balsamic vinaigrette, oregano, and rosemary...definitely made my kitchen smell wonderful:)


PS I picked and shelled those peas that are on that plate....not a huge feat, but let me be proud;)

On to other news....

I FINALLY figured out what I'm allergic to...everything in downtown Charleston...well, sort of true...dust mites & cockroaches.  
Who knew you could be allergic to cockroaches?
After a skin test and my arm getting stuck more times than I could count, that was the answer...I didn't enjoy the process.  
None the less makes me even more excited for our move to Mt. Pleasant!
