Last week, I received a box of Müller Corner Yogurt. Why you ask? Because, these awesome little snacks are going to be available at Costco locations in the Portland area. So I thought I’d give them a try, and let you know. And if you read all the way to the bottom, you can see how to enter to win a year’s Costco membership so you can taste these bad boys for yourself! The things I do for you guys.

Müller is a company with a cool history: it was started by Ludwig Müller in Germany in 1896. Müller was the town cheesemaker AND the mayor. That’s right. Can you imagine if your mayor made cheese? Your city would probably be a lot happier. Because who doesn’t love cheese? Anyway, over the years they’ve grown and changed, and now make yogurt. Which, really, is a lot like cheese.

These yogurts brought back some fond memories for me. As you can see in the photos, these yogurts have those fancy little separated corners of whatever filling that you pour into your yogurt. This brought back some fond memories for me, because when I was younger I was always trying to get my mom to buy me those yogurts with the separate containers on the lids that had mini Crunch pieces or granola or sprinkles or whatever. I love stirring something crunchy into my yogurt to bring it a little texture, and the candied almonds definitely brought the crunch. The yogurt is creamy, but not quite as thick as Greek style yogurt, and tastes good all on it’s own too. Though I’d recommend jazzing it up with the corners. That’s what they’re there for, right? Jonah and I love eating yogurt cups with our breakfast or as an afternoon snack, and Müller corner yogurts were a welcome addition to our pantry.

At your Portland area Costco, you can now buy a pack of 12 Müller Corner yogurts with three flavors: choco balls, strawberry, and candied almonds. If you don’t have a Costco membership, but would like to try it for a year for free, comment below with your favorite afternoon snack, or maybe a favorite snack from your childhood, and like Serious Crust on Facebook. A winner will be chosen on May 23rd, so check back!

This is a sponsored post. I was given a box of Müller Corner Yogurt for free, and all of the opinions below are my own.

New Pots & Pans (Cuisinart, from Costco)!

When I moved into my first house in college, and had my own kitchen for the first time, my mom took me to Target and bought me a set of pots/pans and a set of kitchen utensils (think knives, spatulas, bagel cutter…). And it lasted just fine. Not great quality, but it worked.

Over the years, the amount of pots/pans dwindled. I lost a mini fry pan, the right lids for the right pots, all that. And a few months ago, our one fry pan that we owned started losing its non-stick lining. And then it started to stick… so, not non-stick anymore. It started getting out of hand, and so I started bringing up getting a new fry pan. So we did some research and it was about 50 bucks for a new nice fry pan. And we were getting ready to buy one (or a set of two) when my little sister sent me a picture of a 12-piece set of Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans for $150 at Costco. I love Costco.

So Jonah and I talked, saved up money for a little bit, and went to Costco. Now, at our local branch, the same set was $199. But it was still pretty dang worth it. So we went for it. And it has taken a bit of getting used to, cooking with stainless steel “stick” pans after years of non-stick, but wow is it nice. You don’t need to turn up the heat too high, and they heat perfectly evenly. I’m really looking forward to making scallops in these pans to get a really nice sear on them. And the little pan is perfect for eggs. The moral of the story is that these pans are pretty, shiny, and wonderful to cook in. And a good deal.
