How to Make Greek Yogurt

Next to salad in a jar, homemade fat-free Greek yogurt is one of my most powerful weapons in the war against extra poundage. I eat it a minimum of twice a day–with my breakfast cereal and as an afternoon snack. It’s satisfying. (Similar to milk–see Got Milk?) Www.myfridgefood.com from myfridgefood.com - StumbleUpon.

Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes - StumbleUpon. 2010 is almost a memory, and what remains is mostly the bitter-sweet disassembling of Christmas.

Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes - StumbleUpon

I've been finding pieces of packaging shrapnel from eager gift opening and the odd half-eaten piece of Christmas candy (a sure sign of overindulgence). For me, these days-after feel a little awkward, but reflecting on the year fills my glass half-full again. So many amazing things happened, and I am hopeful that 2011 will be even better! I may even have a resolution or two.

Do you? Though I'll miss the ornaments and lights, these cupcakes have plenty of sparkle to welcome in the new year. The filling is my favorite element of this dessert.

I’m still waiting for Mother Nature to get the memo. Easter is also right around the corner and my kids are counting down the days for the Easter Bunny! I couldn’t wait to try this recipe I created, so Easter came a little early in the treat department at our house! What Easter Bunny wouldn’t love these cute little Cake Batter Truffles?! No baking, and less than 10 ingredients! But before I get to more about the recipe, I have an announcement. Ok, back to the recipe….I’ve been running across a lot of different truffle recipes lately. The dough doesn’t take many ingredients and comes together quite easily.

In the meantime melt some of your favorite chocolate or candy melts. Once the chocolate/melts are smooth, get ready to dip. Let the chocolate run off the truffles for a few seconds then place the truffle back on the lined baking sheets. After you dip the truffles place them back in the fridge for a few minutes for the chocolate to set. Une Vie Saine: Strawberry Champagne Slushies - StumbleUpon. Homemade cheez-it crackers. Parmesan Roasted Potatoes - StumbleUpon. Ok fine.

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes - StumbleUpon

I’m officially ready to make the transition to fall. And I thought, what better way to do it than with my all time favorite Parmesan Roasted Potatoes! These are like candy. 100% addictive. Once you stop, you just can’t stop. If you knew the amount of potatoes we consumed in a week, you’d be shocked. I always, without fail, make these with Yukon Gold potatoes because here’s the truth… I’m too lazy to peel the skins off potatoes. This is more a technique rather than a recipe, since you can scale these potatoes up if you’re cooking for a crowd. You’re going to start with some naked potatoes…. Add on all the seasonings… Using your fingers, go ahead and toss everything together…. Put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Once they are nice and golden and crispy, throw them onto a serving platter….

And then EAT!! And just a public service announcement – make a double batch and then serve them with breakfast the next morning too. Cinnamon Toast&Rolls - Circle B Kitchen - Circle B Kitchen - StumbleUpon. The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate.

I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. And not just any cinnamon roll, mind you, but how ‘bout a homemade cinnamon roll hybrid that is a cross between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast, is super easy to make and gosh darn delicious. In honor of their ancestry, I call these little gems cinnamon toast rolls, and here’s all you need to make them… French Fries: The No-Guilt Version - StumbleUpon.

There’s nothing like a french fried potato.

French Fries: The No-Guilt Version - StumbleUpon

The taste, the texture, the dip-ability; it’s probably one of my favorite go-to comfort foods. However, I don’t need the fat of an actual deep fried potato, and I certainly do not favor processed french fries that come from the frozen food section of the grocery store.
