happy weekend

Are you already looking forward to the weekend? Who isn't? For me it's the two days in the week when I can be spontaneous. It's also a good time to try something different, learn something new. With that said, here are some simple ideas to brighten up our weekend.

Whip up a Strawberry Pineapple Crumble for the family and eat it for breakfast.

toddler-approved recipe: nutella-dipped strawberries

Now here's another yummy way to eat strawberries - dip them in Nutella! Well, it's more like smother it with some of that chocolate hazelnut goodness.

Did you know that a tablespoon of Nutella is only 100 calories? Doesn't sound so sinful, does it? So, go ahead, indulge and let me know how you like it.

yogurt parfait

It only takes a couple of minutes to create this guilt-free treat. Start with a cup of plain yogurt, preferably fat free, and sweeten it with honey to your liking. Crush some fresh strawberries and add to the yogurt. Put scoop of the strawberry yogurt mixture in a cup/bowl/glass then add a layer of bittersweet chocolate chips. Put the remaining yogurt on top of the chocolate chips then chill in the freezer for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with granola before eating. Bon Appetit!
