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.

Grapefruit Yogurt Cake

April 10, 2014 by Cate 21 Comments

This grapefruit yogurt cake is so moist and flavorful. It is light, healthy, and delicious – perfect for breakfast or with a cup of tea!

Grapefruit – I always assumed this was a pretty inoffensive fruit. Slightly tart but usually pretty sweet. Pretty to look at. Super healthy. Delicious juice. What’s not to love? And then I met TheBetterHalf. Apparently grapefruit can be a pretty polarizing fruit. He HATES them. Which I find so strange because he eats pretty much anything – he’s a big fan of food. I think that’s why I like him so much. But something about the tartness of grapefruit is just too much for him. It is actually hilarious to watch his face if he tries a bite of my grapefruit or a sip of the juice.

So I figured that this grapefruit yogurt cake would have to be eaten solely by me. Which I was totally ok with. Well it turns out that when you mix grapefruit zest into a yogurt cake and top it with a sugary grapefruit juice, he likes the stuff! Phew – I really didn’t need to eat a whole cake by myself.

Easter Brunch Coconut Donuts

April 7, 2014 by Cate 28 Comments

These baked coconut donuts are decorated to look like Easter egg nests. They taste amazing, and are so cute – perfect for Easter brunch!

You knew I couldn’t let a holiday pass without making a donut for it, right?? Especially a holiday like Easter, when brunch is the star of the show. And what would a good Easter brunch be without some donuts?! I’ve seen so many Easter goodies on Pinterest lately that look like bird nests and Easter baskets. They are seriously so adorable! I clearly needed to get in on the cuteness action, so I made a baked coconut donut and decorated it to look like a nest.

Healthy Blackberry Coconut Yogurt Bread

February 8, 2014 by Cate 43 Comments

This healthy and delicious bread is full of fresh blackberries and delicious coconut flavor, thanks to coconut yogurt and coconut oil.

Blackberries and coconut, in the winter? Why not! I am channeling the tropics this weekend, trying to pretend that I am lying on a beach somewhere warm rather than looking out at a cold gray city skyline. And nothing says tropical more than coconut!

I am currently obsessed with this Chobani coconut yogurt. Have you tried it? It is so creamy and coconutty – it kind of makes me feel like I’m eating ice cream! And no, they are not paying me – I just really love this yogurt! So when I was eating some the other day, I thought why not bake this delicious flavor into something? And so I came up with this blackberry coconut bread.

Valentine’s Funfetti Pancakes with Vanilla Greek Yogurt Sauce

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!…
