Today’s Friday Five topic (Friday Favorites) is really broad, but I’m taking it pretty narrow and sharing five things I’m loving right now–this week even.
1. The Weather. It may be cliché, but I just can’t resist raving about our weather. This forecast is unheard of for mid-July in Washington D.C. It makes me want to run every day, and spend as much time outside as possible. (I’m even writing this out on our patio!)
2. Having my son around. My son has been home all summer, but some weeks his social life is busier than others. This week he’s been home for at least part of most evenings, and I am doing my best to soak up every moment I can without annoying him too much.
3. Looking forward to seeing my daughter. This may be stretching my “right now” theme, but my daughter is coming to visit next week and I am getting so excited to see her! I’m hoping to take some time off from work, although I’m sure I could work in the morning and she’d never know–between her college student schedule and jet lag she usually sleeps in. 🙂
4. Chobani Oats. I hadn’t heard of these before I saw them in the grocery store. It looks like Chobani has caught on to the overnight oats craze and now has a yogurt with steel cut oats blended in. I wasn’t sure about the banana maple flavor, so I only picked up two, but I wish I had stocked up. The banana flavor is pretty mild, the sweetness of the maple syrup is a nice change from the fruit-on-the-bottom flavors, and I love the texture of the steel cut oats.
5. Gazpacho. My Mom has been overwhelmed by the bounty of her garden, and gave me more tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers than I knew what to do with–until I found a great gazpacho recipe. I’ll save the details for my recipe post next week, but it’s delicious. This week the Washington Post had a recipe for Watermelon-Tomato Gazpacho that I might try this weekend, if I can find some good basil.

I’ll have to keep an eye out for the Chobani Oats. Enjoy the time with your daughter 🙂
yes yes yes to the weather! and i’m glad you are getting to enjoy some time with your son and daughter — enjoy her visit!
I love mixing oats into my greek yogurt so that sounds delicious!
And the weather has been amazing lately! It is in the mid-70’s in Omaha this week. I’ll take it! 😀
Can you tell us more about this? I’d love to
find out more details.
I haven’t seen their overnight oats. I’m eating their 100 cal yogurt now bc it has less sugar than most. I’m loving the weather too
I don’t like the 100 Cal Chobani line – I think there is a sweetener in those that has an off taste to me, and it’s crowding out my other favorites! 🙁
I’ve been eating the chobani 100 calorie greek yogurt..I don’t think there is artificial sweeteners in them from what I remember. I’ll have to take a look at the ones with oats, they sound intriguing!
Nice find with the Chobani Oats- I will be on the lookout for them. The weather has been amazing this week – not complaining 🙂
I’ve never had gazpacho but think I would like it!!!
So glad your son has been home – fun times!! And, hooray for the fact that your daughter is going to be able to come home soon!!!
I don’t like gaspacho. I do not like soup in general, and cold soup even less. I’m with you on catching up with your kids whenever you can… We are on vacation at the moment and have hardly seen my daughter who is out every night with friends. They grow up too fast!
Thanks for the Chobani oats suggestion! I’ve never seen them or heard of them before, but they sound good! I’ll have to look for them. I LOVE steel cut oats.
I think all of the DC, MD, and VA bloggers that participated in this linkup listed the weather as one of our favorites of the week! 🙂
Can you blame us! It’s incredible! 😉
Oh, I’ll have to check out those Chobani Oats.
I stocked up today and saw even more flavors – blueberry and cranberry! I convinced the man next to me to try them. 😉

I have to try those Chobani Oats! I’ve always wanted to try overnight oats but I’ve never remembered to prep the night before so this’ll be great for me haha
Also, I only learned what gazpacho was this week but I definitely want to try it 😀
