The turkey humus "burritos" as Eli likes to call them were a hit! I will say the ezekiel

Frozen Yogurt Bites

Oh hi old blog that I neglect! 

It's been a while! 

My placement with Junior League this year is Kids in the Kitchen. 

Initially, I didn't know much about the committee and thought it was simply an 

event the JLCC hosts once a year. 

Since our meetings have started I have learned a great deal and have fallen in love with the purpose behind the committee. 

We are committed to teaching children in many different socioeconomic backgrounds the importance of healthy eating from a young age! We are putting together a children's cookbook and I am in charge of 6 recipes for pre-school age kids so I thought I would share them here too!! 

I have to admit 99% of the time Eli and I cook {aka BAKE}  together we bake something unhealthy so this was different for us! 

He asked, "Mom are we making cookies with lots of sparkles (sprinkles)?!!" 

Ha!! For our first recipe we made Frozen yogurt bites! He loved making these frozen yogurt bites just as much as making cookies!!!! Who knew? 

Ingredients:

Organic Granola

Organic yogurt {we did strawberry + blueberry}

Organic fruit {we did strawberries, blueberries + blackberries}

Directions: 

Place mini muffin paper cups in mini muffin pan 

Scoop granola into each spot with spoon

Add yogurt with spoon  

Top with berries 

Freeze for a few hours at least
Enjoy!!!

Love having quality time with my little buddy (well and his sister as she was on my hip the whole time)! He kept saying this is my favorite!!!!!! 

The joy of a child!! 

Hugs,

Skinny Pesto Chicken

Y'all know I love recipe swapping!

Here is a yummy, not so fattening, dinner idea! 

I found the recipe on pinterest! 

One of my goals is to one day grow my own basil and make fresh pesto, 

but for now the store made kind gets the job done! Haha! 

For the boys (Mitch + Eli) I made a bed of buttery noodles but for myself I did a quick spinach side salad with balsamic vinaigrette! 

For dessert I made homemade vanilla icecream (Recipe Here!) and put it in a cantaloupe bowl! 

Mitch's grandma used to do this for him as a kid and he loves it! 

I only had cantaloupe for dessert, gotta loose that baby weight!! 

Here is the recipe for Skinny Pesto Chicken: 

Ingredients: 

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• salt and fresh pepper
• 4 tsp pesto
• 1 tomato
• Sliced mozzarella 
• 2 tsp grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Wash chicken and dry with a paper towel. Slice chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season lightly with salt and fresh pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy clean-up.

Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 tsp of skinny pesto over each piece of chicken.

Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from oven; top with tomatoes, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
