Banana Yogurt Bites

SAMSUNG CSC

Today I am sharing with you another healthy recipe that I enjoy myself, especially when I am on the go! I wish I would have known about this recipe when I was in school, it definitely would have made eating breakfast a lot easier. Since I am not typically a breakfast eater this would be perfect to have on hand.

Yes, we are using more Greek Yogurt!!

What You Need:

Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt (or any flavor or brand)

1 Banana (or two..or three..depends on how many you want to make)

Blueberry Crumble Granola with Flaxseed (any kind of granola you want)

Wax Paper

Container to put the Yogurt Banana Bites in to freeze

What To Do:

  1. Peel your banana, cut it up in nice thick slices. Put your yogurt & granola in a separate bowl.
  2. Cover the bottom of your container with the wax paper.
  3. Take one slice of your banana and cover it with the yogurt. (not to heavy).
  4. Then roll it is the granola. If there is to much yogurt on the banana, then granola will roll off.
  5. Set it on the wax paper in your container, continue to do the same for the rest.
  6. Once you have coated all your bananas, put then in the freezer for about 6 hours or overnight.
  7. And Enjoy!

**Please note: if your granola is to chunky, put it in plastic bag, hit it a few times with a rolling pin…don’t make dust!**

The Blueberry Crumble is my favorite, if you can find it at your local grocery store..try it out! What did I do with the left over yogurt and granola? Around 11pm when I was working I mixed everything up and ate it…it was heavenly!

All ready to go in the freezer! I let mine sit overnight.

The next day! Be careful, they are frozen and really cold!

These would be great to give your kids as they are running out the door to catch their bus or even an after school snack.

If you make these..show me I would love to see how yours turned out! My snapchat, instagram and twitter is Sarah_BellaLife.

Have a fantastic day!

 

 

 

Serve Up Some Hawaiian Tonight

Do you want another excuse to fire up the grill this week? Look no further! Yesterday, for dinner my mom and I made Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs. They were delish!

I am really particular about how chicken is prepared…like extremely picky. I can thank Adrian for that one.

What you need:

1 Box KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub, Sweet Honey

1 3/4 C. Pineapple Juice

4 Large boneless skinless, Chicken Breasts

1 C. Mushrooms, halved

1 Red Bell Pepper

1 Orange Bell Pepper

1 Green Bell Pepper

1 C. Pineapple, diced

1 Purple Onion

Directions:

  1. Combine 1 3/4 Pineapple Juice and 1 Pouch KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub. Set Aside.
  2. Either cut the chicken up into bite size cubes or leave the chicken breast whole. Marinate them in the ingredients above that you set aside. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. We did ours for about 6 hours.
  3. Wash & dry your veggies..and cut them up.
  4. Preheat your grill on high
  5. Assemble the chicken veggies on skewers any way you want to. Tip: The mushrooms and pineapples make good stoppers.
  6. Grill for about 12-16 minutes until cooked through. Tip: Brush the finished kabobs with the left over marinate.

** You can find the original recipe here on Yummly**

We marinated our chicken in the fridge 6 hours, if your chicken breasts are really thick you can poke holes in them. Like how you would to a baked potato before putting it in the oven.

SAMSUNG CSC

We ended up using Shiitake Mushrooms, because the local little store didn’t have whole mushrooms..only the pre-cut ones.

Homemade Unicorn Ice Cream

SAMSUNG CSC

For the longest time I have been wanting to make a homemade ice cream. When I was at Le Cordon Bleu I was taught how to make it, but it was sort of a process. Since Sophia is here..there…and everywhere within a blink of an eye, quick treats are right up my alley.

This recipe can be found at Some of This and That blog. The author did hers as a galaxy theme. My inspiration was my new Alex and Ani Unicorn bracelet, when I think of Unicorns I think tons of colors! Plus, I thought that Sophia would enjoy all the bright colors!

Brown Butter Cod

My friend Paula texted me last week and told me about this awesome deal that Blue Apron was advertising, basically I would get 3 meals (for two people) for ten dollars. So I immediately jumped on that opportunity.

Last night was our first night of trying Blue Apron, we had their Brown Butter Cod. I loved it! I have never made Cod before so we were definitely pleased with the results.

Avocado Smash

It is currently 10:22 P.M. and I am starving. I have not been eating a solid three meals a day lately, because we have been spending a good amount of time at the pool. So, for lunch we have been snacking on cheese, fruits and crackers etc.By the time 5 P.M rolls around I am eating dinner. I typically do not like to eat any later than 7 P.M. and normally I can shake off the “I am hungry spell,” but tonight I caved.

Missy’s Pumpkin Bread

About a year ago I was searching for a really good Pumpkin Bread, and I came across this recipe made by ‘youtuber’ Missy Lanning. I made it and ever since then it has landed in my recipe box. Two weeks ago I had a huge craving for something Pumpkin and considering it wasn’t that wonderful time of year for “everything pumpkin,” I instantly ran to my recipes and pulled out Missy’s Pumpkin Bread.
