Make This Recipe Tonight

I made the best Pot Roast last night for dinner, that I delayed a couple of other posts to share this recipe with you!

This is actually my 4th pot roast that I have ever made..

The degree in taste went from “ok this need more salt….ok this one needs something, but I am not sure what…ok my roasts never turn out like my moms.”

Until…I stumbled across this amazing recipe fromĀ Ree Drummond- Pioneer Woman

And boy was I happy!

We had Soup for dinner!

SAMSUNG CSC

One of my favorite parts about fall and winter is the amount of soup I seem to consume and cook. What gets me more excited other than eating soup is when I find a good slow-cooker recipe.

Sometimes I love the idea of throwing everything into a slow-cooker and allowing it to stew for hours! Especially on those days where you have a million and one places to go.

It just makes life a little simpler!

The Best Dip Ever!

SAMSUNG CSC

Does this qualify as a Bean Dip?

That’s what I call it! The first time I had this was when I was working as a CSR for medical equipment and my manager brought it in on Friday. Let’s just say I have been hooked ever since..I have the recipe memorized…it’s my go to recipe for parties..and it does make a fantastic Vegetarian Quesadillas for dinner.

I have paired this bean dip with crackers, but so far my favorite is Frito Scoops! So yummy!

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!

 

 

 

Healthy Yogurt Fruit Bars

SAMSUNG CSC

I was at the store the other day picking up some odds and ends, when I came across popsicle molds. So, I thought it would be a perfect week to share my Greek Yogurt Fruit Bars. This is also a much healthier version of “ice cream,” that you could even give to the kiddos for breakfast or it would make a perfect late night snack.

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.

Mama’s Homemade Egg Rolls

SAMSUNG CSC

My mom makes the best egg rolls known to man kind. I am really picky with egg rolls. This summer I have been having a really hard time find a Chinese restaurant where their egg rolls aren’t mushy inside. So I have been dying for my moms egg rolls they are super good and very versatile.

I am going to share with you her recipe that she made up herself. A lot of my moms recipes are to taste meaning your add as much or as little as you want of certain spices.

What Are Your Pool Snacks?

IMG_3776Sophia and I have have been going to our local pool recently several days a week this summer. She is my little fish. Anyways I have been trying to incorporate more fruits into our diets this summer and let me say it has been such a success. Thankfully, Sophia isn’t a picky eater and loves fruit.

I have been having a really bad fruit obsession I am always buying it. Right now we have Raspberries, Blueberries, Watermelon, Mango, Strawberries, peaches and an apple (only 1) all on hand.

When we wake up in the morning I will make us Oatmeal, because I know it is something that we both enjoy. And it usually holds us over until lunch time.

On days we go to the pool I tend to pack a variety of snacks. I always carry water bottles in our cooler, one gatorade and of course our fruit. I mainly eat the cashews, blueberries and cheese. Sophia eats a little bit of everything, but I think her least favorite are the blueberries.

As we hit close to August, I am trying to think of some other types of snacks to bring…something a little different. I am aiming for healthy items..but give us more of a variety.

Does anyone have any ideas? What is in your pool snack bag?
