siggis 300x300 friday favorites | things loved this week3. I read in Bon Appétit that Icelandic style yogurt is a hot new food trend, so when I found some on sale, I gave it a shot.  It’s really thick & super creamy (even the nonfat varieties) with hardly any sugar & tons of protein.  I’m a fan.

If You See Kay.  Slowly sound out the name of this wine & you’ll hear why some people find this cabernet based red to be racy & obscene, but crack open the bottle & you’ll find the most velvety smooth, complex & elegant wine we’ve raved about in quite a while.

    Couldn’t agree with you more about If You See Kay wine. It’s the first time I’ve ever bought a case of wine. It’s divine!!!
