Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
from Kitchen Confidante

Ingredients:

2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup creamy vanilla yogurt
1 cup 2% Greek yogurt

Directions:

Combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Adjust sweetness if necessary with more sugar. When the sugar is dissolved, lower heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and chill until completely cool.

Take 1/2 of the sauce and stir together with the vanilla yogurt and Greek yogurt. Pour into the pre-frozen bowl of your ice cream maker and churn for about 30 minutes, or until it has achieved a thick, frozen yogurt consistency. Enjoy immediately or store in a tightly sealed container in the freezer. Serve with remaining strawberry sauce.

Homemade Chocolate Lara Bars
Lara Bars are one of my favorite snacks - they’re made of nothing but dried fruit and nuts, and are great for an energy boost. They sell for $1.50-$2.00 each, but by making your own, you save money and get to customize your bars however you’d like. Can’t wait to try these.
