Apple Spinach Salad

Oh my goodness.  There just aren’t any words that can describe my Monday at work today.  It was so bad, that I had to get up and take a walk.  Kona loved it though. Not only that, but  I was supposed to leave early to get to my financial advisors office by 4:00, but ended up having a conference call at 3:30.

I am exhausted and wish it were Friday already.  Speaking of time… Has anyone read the Timekeeper, by Mitch Albom?  I just downloaded it to my Kindle late last night.  I hope it’s good.

Oh Remember,” I want my MTV.”  Well, that’s exactly how I felt at Safeway yesterday when I tried to get my weekly fix of Chobani yogurt. They were out of my favorite flavors.  Vanilla and honey are my all time favorites.  So I decided that I would give Yoplait 100 calorie Greek a try.  I am here to say, after tasting the Yoplait,” I want my Chobani!”. Yoplait left an aftertaste in my mouth that I just didn’t like.  I actually disposed of the rest, it was that bad.  I rather fight, than switch!

    • Thanks Marisol. I sliced the apples for looks. If I was giong to make it for me, I would chop them into smaller pieces. But the dressing on this was so good.
