Raspberry Greek Yogurt Popsicles

These little pops have 2 ingredients - raspberries and Greek yogurt. They are on the tart side, so you can add a little sweetener if you want. Makes 4 popsicles, only 67 calories each! I got the idea on Pinterest here; I just changed the ingredients a little bit.

Blueberry Buckle

I love a good summer fruit recipe. Actually, I love most any fruit recipe...this recipe is from a little cookbook called "Baking with Spelt" by Barb Waldron. It calls for spelt flour (great if you are allergic to wheat, but it is not gluten free). I'm sure you could make it with whole wheat flour and get the same yummy result. I usually use frozen blueberries and there is no need to thaw and drain - I just use them straight from the freezer.

I added a sliced nectarine on top of the fresh blueberries this time and it was delicious!

Brown Rice Pudding

When I was growing up, my mom used to make German Milchreis (white rice pudding) a lot and we would spread it out thinly over large plates and sprinkle it (heavily) with cinnamon sugar, and it was super yummy! (Also I used a fork to make rows the entire length of the plate and pretended it was a farm and I was going to plant it with seeds. And then I ate it. Good times!)

Black Bean Brownies

Sometimes I enjoy making weird things and feeding them to unsuspecting bystanders (aka family at our 4th of July barbeque). This is a prime example. They look and taste like fudgy brownies for the most part, and I doubt anyone knew they were eating beans...even my darling (super-picky eater) husband.
