Poppyseed Fruit Salad

I am always looking for new healthy dessert ideas. Sure, it would be nice if we could have ice-cream every night, but we both know that's not a wise choice. I found this fruit recipe on KraftCanada.com.

When we went grocery shopping Christian was so excited to see that they had Star Fruit. It was the highlight of his day to find a little fruit that was shaped like a star. That particular shopping trip I took the actual print-out of the recipe with me because I didn't have time to write a list. I actually liked shopping with the recipe as a list because I could easily see what I needed the items for.

Poppyseed Fruit Salad

Ingredients

1/3 cup Kraft Signature Creamy Poppyseed Dressing (I used Compliments Lemon-poppyseed Dressing)
1/3 cup strawberry low-fat yogurt
2 cups halved strawberries
2 cups seedless green grapes
2 medium Kiwi, peeled, sliced
1 small Cantaloupe, sliced
1 medium star fruit, sliced
1 small honeydew melon, sliced

Directions

  1. Mix dressing & yogurt until well blended.
  2. Arrange fruit decoratively on platter
  3. Serve with the dressing mixture on the side

We decided to not do the decorative side this time and just mixed the dressing directly into the fruit salad It was tasty! It was a perfect hot day for a cool, refreshing fruit salad.

What is a healthy breakfast?

Ok so I have to admit that breakfast at our household during school days had been very rushed and not so healthy. I would always let Christian pick out the oh so common cereal box that we all see advertised on TV. I'd pour a heap of sugary cereal with 2% milk into a bowl and set it on the table. I've obviously been slacking and taking the easy, unhealthy way out. Breakfast is referred to as the most important meal of the day, but somehow I don't think that a bowl full of sugar is what they are talking about. Breakfast is supposed to refuel my child and help boost his brain power for a busy day at school. Recently I've been making a better attempt to start Christian's day out with a healthier meal. I am keeping on my track of incorporating more fruits and because we have a super-sized box of cornflakes in the pantry I figured we'd have to use them up first. At a closer look at the labeling though I realized that the cornflakes aren't so bad compared to

Grilled Buttermilk Chicken w/ Salad

I am always looking for new recipes and last month my cousin emailed me the link to Grilled Buttermilk Chicken. I've had fried chicken soaked in buttermilk before, but this was a leaner idea. It was very easy. Saturday morning I arranged the chicken in a shallow baking dish and marinaded them in the buttermilk mixture. I turned them occasionally until dinner time. Then Millard took care of the grilling. They turned out nice. I didn`t use as much garlic as was called for, but perhaps I could`ve. Grilled Buttermilk Chicken Serves 8 Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 1hr 50m Ingredients 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 8 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon paprika kosher salt and black pepper 6 pounds bone-in chicken pieces Directions In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Divide the buttermilk mixture and chicken between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bags o

Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries

Today was grocery day.  I shopped the sales fliers and came home with some lovely looking strawberries.  I knew they would go great with the Fat Free Jello Pudding that we already had in the pantry.  I prepared the pudding with 1% milk and spooned 1/2 cup into each dessert dish.  I washed and sliced the strawberries and layered them on top and lastly added a heaping tablespoon of cool whip on top.  A very simple and low fat, low cal dessert and oh boy was it ever delicious!  For dinner we had Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Coleslaw.  We tried Renee's Salad Dressing for the first time tonight and it was very good.  Overall our meal was about 4 carbs which was perfect!
