Avocado Yogurt Dip
You'll need:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 ripe avocados -- peeled and seeded
- 1/2 a garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons of cilantro
- 1 chopped jalepeno -- I keep mine with the seeds because I like the kick it adds, but you can remove the seeds if you wish
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
- pinch of salt and pepper
All you do now that you've got all your ingredients is blend it all together in your food processor until smooth.
I usually eat this with baked pita bread or tortilla chips, you can even add it to wraps!
Enjoy!!

Yogurt Berries
This super easy snack takes no time at all, and is extremely easy to make!
What you'll need is:
- fresh or frozen fresh fruits;
I used, blueberries, cut strawberries, raspberries, and a diced apple.
- your choice of yogurt; best yogurt to work with is probably a plain vanilla one.
This time I used the yogurt cups no one really like, raspberry and mixed berry.
Pour your yogurt into a bowl, and either individually dip the fruit into the yogurt and place onto a tray. Or you could do the quicker way, throw a bunch in at a time and using a fork fish them out.
Freeze for 20 minutes, enjoy! If you don't finish all your fruits no worries, they last me at least a week in the freezer. Just place them in a freezer safe bag or container.

Pesto Pizza Bread
Since today is a snow day, I thought of testing out a new recipe for lunch.
Pesto pizza bread. Common, anything with pesto is amazing!
What you'll need for this is:
- 2 slices of bread
- choice of veggies -- I used quarter red onion sliced, quarter red bell pepper sliced, 5 sliced mushrooms, 4 slivers of sundried tomatoes, and 9 spinach leaves. You could also add hot peppers, zucchini, fresh tomato slices etc.
- 3 or 4 pieces fresh mozzarella cheese (usually comes in a ball form) thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp pesto sauce
- olive oil for drizzling
Start by warming the bread slices stovetop. Also turn your oven on to bake at 400.
Then on the slices spread the pesto sauce evenly. Add all your veggies except the spinach and bake on a pan in the oven for 6-8 minutes.
Remove from oven, drizzle olive oil over slices with veggies and bake for 2-3 minutes.
Remove once more, add the spinach leaves and mozzarella last and bake until cheese melts and turns golden brown.
Slice, and serve!
