Mango Smoothie made with Greek Yogurt

April 21, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

Frozen banana slices and mango greek yogurt make this mango smoothie so creamy and decadent tasting, even though it is light and healthy! So simple and easy to make.

Did you all have a nice Easter weekend? TheBetterHalf and I were in St. Louis for a quick trip to see my family and we had the most gorgeous weather – it almost felt like summer! Which means that it must be smoothie season! I love making smoothies year round, but once it starts to get warm out, I can’t get enough of them. Smoothies are so easy to make- this mango smoothie only has four ingredients! Plus it tastes delicious and is healthy too.

April 17, 2014 by Cate 37 Comments

These soft and chewy blondies have the most amazing flavor thanks to brown butter. They are full of candy coated chocolate eggs, making them the perfect treat for Easter!

I almost didn’t post these Easter blondies. I really don’t love the pictures, so figured that I shouldn’t put them up. And then I started thinking about the blondies. And how delicious they were. And how the two of us finished the whole pan in about two days. And I realized it would be a shame if I didn’t give you the recipe! Plus – they use my absolute favorite Easter candy, and I have to tell you all about that. So here they are – Brown Butter Easter Blondies. They might be a little ugly in the pictures, but they sure taste amazing!

February 3, 2014 by Cate 58 Comments

Light and fluffy pancakes are fun and festive thanks to sprinkles in the batter. Greek yogurt is used in both the pancakes and the vanilla sauce, giving these funfetti pancakes tons of filling protein. Such a delicious and celebratory breakfast!

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday in NYC it was in the 50s and sunny and today it is 30 and snowing! We seriously got so lucky with the Superbowl weather.

Is everyone tired today from all the festivities last night? I know I am, and this snow is not helping things! So I need something to cheer me up today, and these pancakes are just the thing. If these don’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will! Aren’t they just the cutest? And so perfect for Valentine‘s Day!…

Chocolate Donuts with Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing

January 29, 2014 by Cate 59 Comments

Baked chocolate donuts are topped with fresh strawberry cream cheese icing. Pretty and delicious, these will be a new breakfast favorite!

It is time for another Mystery Dish post! This month, Allie from Baking a Moment picked a fun list of celebratory ingredients for us. They were Champagne, Strawberries, Oranges, Beets, Filet Mignon, Lobster, Cream, Chocolate, Rosewater, and Rice. Since champagne, lobster, and filet mignon aren’t in my usual cooking repertoire, I’m not really sure what rosewater is, and I am not a fan of beets, I decided to go with what I know and love – chocolate and strawberries! It doesn’t get much better than that. Especially when combined in a baked donut – chocolate donuts with strawberry cream cheese icing to be exact!

If you like guacamole, you are going to love this Avocado Hummus! A healthy, filling, and delicious snack that’s quick and easy to make!

One of my favorite light meals is veggies and hummus. They are healthy, filling, delicious, and quick! I love to put together a beautiful platter of fresh vegetables with a big bowl of hummus in the middle. It comes together so quickly but the finished product looks like you really put a lot of work into it. I love that!

I must admit that usually I buy hummus – but every time I make it I ask myself why I don’t do that more often because it is SO easy and So delicious! Plus you can flavor it any way you want. This recipe is for avocado hummus – if you like guacamole, you are going to love this dip!…
