Stuffed Strawberry Bites

by Pam on February 23, 2014

I am finally able to use my hand! Knife wounds are no fun and I am thankful to be healing so quickly. I am looking forward to being back in the kitchen again.

I wanted to make a quick and tasty after school snack for my kids. I found some strawberries, blueberries, and cream cheese in the refrigerator. I mixed the cream cheese with a bit of powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Sliced the strawberries in half then spread on a mound of cream cheese mixture then topped them with blueberries. My kids were absolutely thrilled with these strawberry bites & gobbled them up within minutes. They are perfect for appetizers, party snacks, healthy dessert, or snack – I will be making these again soon.

Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Taste & add more sugar if desired.

Remove the stems of the strawberries then slice in half lengthwise. Spoon a mound of cream cheese on each strawberry half then top with a couple of blueberries.

Place on a serving plate and serve. Enjoy.

Snack time!

Trail Mix

by Pam on February 12, 2014

I pack a little snack in my kids backpacks every morning along with their lunches. I was in the process of buying some trail mix packets when I realized two things.

Trail mix is expensive!
I had all the ingredients for the trail mix at home in my pantry.

Needless to say, I put the trail mix back on the shelf and made some at home using what I had on hand. After looking in my pantry, I found almonds, cashews, dried cherries, dried blueberries, raisins, pistachios, peanuts, white chocolate chips, and semi sweet chocolate chips. I threw them all in a bowl and mixed them together. I gave my kids a little bowl to snack on after school and they loved it. I packaged the rest into snack sized tupperware (about 1/4 cup in each). Now I have some pre-made snacks available to throw in the kids’ backpacks in the morning and didn’t spend a fortune on them – I love that!

Combine the almonds, cashews, peanuts, pistachios, dried blueberries, dried cherries, raisins, semi sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips together in a large bowl, mix with your hands until well combined. Pour 1/4 cup into tupperware containers then cover with lids. Enjoy.

Blueberry Kale Smoothie

Don’t be afraid by the color of this smoothie, I promise it tastes better than it looks! The dark color is from antioxidant rich blueberries and kale (one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet). Black is the new green!

Combined with almond milk, peanut butter, ripe banana and dates, this smoothie is naturally sweet, filling and so good for you!

For those of you on Weight Watchers, I never know if I should count the fruit in my smoothies. Some say no, others say yes. I’ve decided to count the dates, but not the banana and blueberries – your call!

Here’s a helpful tip: When you’re bananas are brown, freckled and look like they’re ready to be thrown out – peel them, cut them and put them in your freezer, they are perfect in smoothies! Buy organic berries when they go on sale, and freeze them too!
