Okay so I just realized that all of my last recipes have been all about fruit. I guess that's because the heat index in Houston has been 104 degrees lately and fruit is my favorite snack of choice when it is hot outside! The fruit that is produced at this time of year is one of summer's greatest qualities if you ask me, and they just so happen to be all of my favorites! Right now I'm all about sweet cherries and have been eating them in my smoothies, plain-jane by themselves, and even in popsicles! My cherry and vanilla yogurt granola pops are healthy and delicious and, the best part, they are perfectly suitable for breakfast!
Um...so we started watching House of Cards last weekend and found ourselves glued to the couch for about seventy-five percent of the past three days. Addictive is an understatement, and I am both sad and glad that we finished season three yesterday after a week and a half of watching! I'm glad because now I can get on with normal life without obsessing about what Frank and Claire Underwood will be up to next. If you haven't watched it yet, you should...but just know that nothing productive will happen until you finish all three seasons. Luckily I made my honey and beet frozen yogurt ahead of time, saving me from eating an unhealthier sweet treat while we watched the drama unfold.
Yep, you heard correctly...that's beet frozen yogurt. Don't think I'm crazy. If you are a beet fan, you are going to love turning them into something sweet! When beets are roasted they get caramelized and their natural sweetness shines through making them the perfect candidate to be turned into a unique frozen treat.
