The Snack Report: Chobani Green Tea Greek Yogurt
A couple of weeks ago I was at the grocery store buying yogurt to make tzatziki sauce for our Souvlaki Gyro Pizza. While in the yogurt section something caught my eye – green tea infused yogurt. Since green tea is one of my go-to teas to drink, I found this idea very interesting. It’s not an entirely novel idea to mix green tea with a dairy product, since green tea ice cream is a thing, but considering that yogurt has its own unique tangy flavor, it seemed different enough to give a try. Since it happened to be on sale, I bought it, and I finally got around to eating it for breakfast the other day. So how did green tea yogurt taste?
Cheat Codes: Homemade Hot Chocolate & Hot Cocoa
As everyone in northeastern America is aware now, it’s preeetty freaking Winter outside. There’s several feet of snow on the ground in a lot of places around here and it’s gonna be a while before those disgusting grey-colored snow mountains in parking lots disappear. And yet we still have another month left of this shit, unfortunately. But hey, don’t let that get you down. Make some hot chocolate! It’s good for you!*
*NOT sarcasm, surprisingly.
Cheat Codes: Overnight Oatmeal
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person. At all. I enjoy my sleep, and I enjoy it well into the late hours of the morning. And those times I do have to get up early it takes me a long time to get going. So knowing my breakfast is ready and waiting for me when I get up is a load off. While there are some other types of breakfast that you can prepare in advance, today I’ll be tackling everyone’s favorite winter breakfast: oatmeal.
What is this morning you speak of?

Since one of our goals is encouraging people to expand their home cooking skills, we’ve come up with some food and cooking resolutions that may be helpful (if you’re in the market for New Year’s resolutions).
Pizza Lab #24: Pumpkin Pulled Chicken Pizza
Hot on the heals of like eight billion pumpkin posts, we here at Poor Couple’s Food Guide are pleased to present to you… another freakin’ pumpkin post! Yeahhh!
I joke though, we actually love pumpkins. As Meg mentioned in Food 101: Roasting Pumpkins, they’re really awesome because they’re a festive Halloween/Fall decoration, but can also be used as food as the season starts winding down to a close. We’ve made pumpkin pizza before, though that one was a dessert. This year we instead wanted to try and harness the savory possibilities that pumpkin possesses. That’s what led to Pizza Lab #24, Pumpkin Pulled Chicken.
