Strawberry Pineapple Frozen Yogurt : Baltic Maid

Recipe: low-cal peach frozen yogurt. It’s still felt like summer this week in Manhattan, so I’m posting one last warm-weather recipe before admitting it’s really fall.

recipe: low-cal peach frozen yogurt

I’ve been running around like crazy, so I actually made this a while ago — I’m constantly looking for dessert recipes that don’t have a lot of added sugar or fat, because let’s face it, when I make a whole batch of cookies or a cake for just me and Chad, that’s not really going to turn out well. So I decided to go the very low-cal route for this fro yo, and it turned out really well!

Homemade ice creams are definitely better the first day after making them — although they won’t spoil for a quite while if properly frozen, it’s really difficult to get the right temperature or consistency once they’ve frozen solid. When you’re not adding a lot of sugar or fat, you’re not doing much to lower the freezing point of the yogurt, so eat it quickly! Kung Pao Chicken (or Tofu) December 8, 2011 at 9:13 pm.

Rustic Tuscan Vegetable Soup. It’s finally “winter” here in the desert.

Rustic Tuscan Vegetable Soup

And after a brutally hot summer I am READY for the cold. We just had a crazy winter storm that brought lots of rain & snow up north and even sleet here in Phoenix! This crazy weather made me crave a nice hot bowl of soup…I didn’t want a bowl of brothy soup, but one that was rather hearty, yet filling AND healthy. This Tuscan style vegetable soup does not disappoint. It is a very rustic soup and is LOADED with fresh veggies and if you don’t have fresh on hand use canned or frozen. Directions In a small bowl mash half of the beans with a masher or the back of a spoon, and set aside. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

Add the broth and tomatoes with the juice and bring to a boil. Serve topped with Parmesan, if desired. Cooking with Jax: Kale Chips. I've always wanted to try kale chips, so when I saw bunches for sale at my local farmers market, I jumped at the chance to try it.

Everyday Food's Chicken & Lentil Burger with my sping

I paged through it and ripped out three different recipes that appealed to me. Today, I'd like to share with you a recipe for Chicken and Lentil Burger.
