It’s NEW YEAR’S EVE!  Which means everyone’s focus has shifted from Christmas cookies and eggnog to carrot sticks and excessive exercise.  Well, that’s where our heads will be after one last night of cocktail wieners and glasses of bubbly, that is.

This past month has flown by.  I guess that’s typical for December, isn’t it?  From Thanksgiving to Christmas, it’s all about squeezing in time with friends and family and bouncing from one party to the next.  The end of the year always leaves me with a bit of PHD (post-holiday depression).  You too?

One of my favorite holiday get-togethers this year was a cooking event at the Chobani offices here in Charlotte.  Several local food bloggers and friends joined up for a night of wine, laughs, and yogurt-filled recipes cooked under the supervision of Chobani’s own chef, Tim Reardon.

If you aren’t familiar with Chobani, stop what you’re doing and head to the grocery store.  Chobani makes some of the best Greek yogurt on the market.  I’m partial to the pomegranate.
