Dessert Fruit Pizza


Recipe: 
  • 1 boxed brownies mix (follow directions on back of box)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Bananas
  • lemon juice
  • Diced strawberries
  • Blueberries 

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 12-inch round pizza pan with nonstick spray; set aside. (We split our batter up and made 2 smaller pies.) 

Follow brownie mix directions on the back of the box. 

In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over the top of the cooled brownie round. Slice the bananas and sprinkle with lemon juice to preserve the coloring. Place the banana slices evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with strawberries and blueberries.  

Note to self: Next time, add more berries!! It was delicious, but too cream cheesy for me!

Greek Yogurt Waffles

Yummy!
I've been on a Greek Yogurt kick lately and I found this article online titled, "51 Healthy Greek Yogurt Recipes for Any Meal" by Laura Newcomer. There were many recipes I would like to try however it was 9:30 in the morning so I decided to try a breakfast recipe. I chose to make Greek Yogurt Pancakes. 

Obviously, I turned mine into waffles and they were delicious! I used plain Greek Yogurt and added a Banana and a couple handfuls of blueberries. I'll definitely be making these again, but next time, I want to try Blueberry Greek Yogurt instead of plain.

Who Nu?

I found these at the grocery store Friday night and was very intrigued. I looked at the back of the box and it read:

As much Fiber as a bowl of Oatmeal
As much Vitamin C a a cup of Blueberries
As much Vitamin A as an 8 oz glass of Tomato juice
As much Vitamin B12 as a cup of Cottage cheese and Fruit
As much Calcium and Vitamin D as an 8oz glass of Milk
As much Iron as a cup of Spinach
As much Vitamin E as two cups of Carrot juice.

I went back and forth on buying a box. I thought if it was so healthy and nutritious they were not going to be delicious. I bought a box anyway and OMG, they taste just like chewy Chips Ahoy cookies! I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be buying these cookies again. They even make some "Oreos" and I love my Oreos so I can't wait to try those!

Update: I tried the "Oreos" three days ago and they are delicious!! So freaking good that our family devoured the box and we already need to go to the store to get more!
