Good Eats: Berry Chai Smoothie

Fruit and chai go extremely well together, especially in a smoothie!

1 cup of Chai concentrate

1 cup of milk

2 tablespoons of sugar

A couple handfuls of frozen fruit(real fruit would be better!)

There you go, a healthy, mood boosting snack for any time of the day! The caffeine in the chai would be perfect to jump start your day!

Good Eats: Fruit Pizza

Fruit pizza is most definitely one of my favorite foods! It is absolutely delicious and it reminds me of summer. I begged my grandma to make it for my brother's birthday party, so she brought two huge platters! I talked with her about it and she told me how simple it is. Since I did not make it myself, I am going to give you the instructions that I got from my grandma.

Step One: Roll cookie dough as thin as possible on a pan, bake it, and let it cool in the fridge overnight.

Step Two: Take your cookie dough out of the fridge and let it get close to room temperature. 

Step Three: Spread a layer of cream cheese on top of the cookie dough. (Like you would sauce with a regular pizza!)
Step Four: Cut up a bunch of fruit and sprinkle them on top.

Super easy! This would be perfect to bring to a party or make for a healthy dessert! I hope you enjoy this as much as me -and my sister- do!

Good Eats: Pizza Muffins

Dom was inspired by this post on tumblr to make pizza muffins and I thought it would be fun to share!

Ingredients:

Muffin Tins

Pepperonis (Or toppings of your choice)

Pam

Pizza dough

Mozzarella Cheese

Medium size bowl

Flour (Not pictured)

Make your dough! (And make sure you read the instructions!) 

Spray your muffin tin with Pam.

Sprinkle flour into your muffin tin.

Line the tin with pizza dough. It may seem like you need a lot of dough, but you don't! Trust me, it rises.

Next up is pizza sauce!

Then Mozzarella!

Toppings are next!

Then tuck the insides away with more pizza dough. Make sure you poke holes in the top so the insides don't explode out! That happened to a couple of ours.

Good Eats: Spring Pasta

Dominick and I have been planning to make a colorful pasta to celebrate spring, and here it is! We had a basic idea of how we wanted to make this, but we made up a lot as we went.

You will need:

About 1lb of pasta (We chose bowtie!)

1 Zucchini

1 Red Pepper

1 Yellow Pepper

Broccoli

Olive Oil

Salt

Minced Garlic (Dom says you can also use garlic powder)

(Not pictured: minced garlic, olive oil, and salt)

Step 1

Dom chopped what we thought would be way too much veggies and it ended up being a little less than what we would have liked. I think 2 peppers, 1 zucchini, and 2 handfuls of broccoli would be perfect. 

Step 2

Boil water for pasta and add about 1/4 cup of salt.

Step 3

Add your pasta of choice to the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes (for al dente).

Step 4

While you wait for your pasta to cook, steam your veggies! You can also pan fry them in olive oil. 

Step 5

Strain your pasta!

Step 6

Add some olive oil and a spoonful of garlic to a pan and stir it around as it cooks for a minute or two.

Step 7

Add your veggies and pasta to the pan and stir it around as it cooks for about five minutes.

Add Parmesan cheese if you wish, it's delicious!

Good Eats: Mango Smoothie

I absolutely LOVE smoothies. Dom had some mangoes at his house so we decided to experiment, and we came up with a recipe that tastes just like a Mango Julius. 

This is what you need:

2 mangoes

1 cup of vanilla ice cream

About 5 ice cubes

A blender

*Ours only made enough for two mugs, and it was thick. If you want a thinner smoothie, add more ice. I just prefer a thick smoothie.

Steps:

Cut into the center of the mango, until you hit the pit. Then cut all the way around it. After that you should be able to twist one half of the mango off. (The pit is a pain, we had to scoop around it with a spoon to get the good stuff out)

Scoop the good stuff into your blender.

Yep, that's the good stuff!

Add the ice cream and then blend until you get a nice smooth texture. After that, add ice to thin it out a bit.

Pour yourself some delicious smoothie and enjoy! (It is also a requirement to drink it out of a mug, it tastes better that way)

I am a terrible cook/baker, so I decided to start posting about recipes I try/come up with. Haha, that kind of makes it sound like my recipes would suck, this one doesn't I promise! It was absolutely delicious. I have to thank Dom a lot too, he helped me to prepare the smoothie and decide how much of each ingredient to add.
