Ingredients For Yogurt Bark

This Chocolate Berry Yogurt Bark is healthy and packed with flavor. Let’s break down the ingredients that make it so irresistible…

  • Chocolate Chips: Melted and swirled throughout the bark for rich chocolate flavor. We used semi-sweet, but milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate would all be good.
  • Greek Yogurt: Vanilla Greek yogurt creates a creamy, lightly sweet base.
  • Fresh Berries or Fresh Fruit: We used blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, but see below for more ideas!

With just chocolate, creamy Greek yogurt, and fresh berries, you’ve got a snack that’s as pretty as it is delicious!

Other Mix-Ins & Toppings

This yogurt bark is easy to customize, so feel free to get creative with mix-ins and toppings.

Try adding sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, mango, or cherries for more fruit flavor. 

Granola, chopped nuts, cookies, sprinkles, or coconut flakes add great crunch, while chia seeds, pepitas, or hemp hearts bring a little extra nutrition.

You can also swap the chocolate swirl for white chocolate, drizzle with honey or pure maple syrup, or sprinkle on crushed pretzels for a sweet-salty twist. Mix and match to make it your own.

How to Make Yogurt Bark

Making this yogurt bark is easier than you think! A few simple steps and you’ll have a colorful, chocolatey treat ready to chill.

  • Melt: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth. Let cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the yogurt.
  • Spread: Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat mat or wax paper and evenly spread the Greek yogurt into a smooth layer.
  • Top: Sprinkle the fresh berries evenly over the yogurt.
  • Swirl: Dot the melted chocolate over the bark, then use a toothpick to gently swirl it through the yogurt.
  • Freeze: Place the&n

Ingredients for Greek Chicken Meatballs

  • Milk: Adds moisture and helps soften the breadcrumbs so the meatballs stay tender instead of dense.
  • Italian Breadcrumbs: Bind the mixture together and give the meatballs structure while soaking up flavor from the seasonings.
  • Ground Chicken: The base protein—lean, mild, and perfect for carrying all those fresh Greek flavors.
  • Feta: Adds creamy, salty pops of flavor and helps keep the meatballs moist.
  • Zucchini: Grated zucchini sneaks in extra moisture (so the chicken doesn’t dry out) plus a little hidden veggie goodness.
  • Lemon: Both juice and zest brighten the flavors, balancing the richness of the chicken and feta with fresh, citrusy notes.
  • Egg: Acts as the “glue” to bind everything together so the meatballs hold their shape.
  • Garlic: Adds savory depth and that classic Mediterranean flavor.
  • Salt: Enhances all the other flavors so the meatballs don’t taste bland.
  • Fresh Mixed Herbs (dill, mint, parsley): Bring freshness and authentic Greek flavor—each herb layers in something unique.
  • Black Pepper: Adds gentle heat and balance to the savory flavors.
  • Olive Oil: Helps the meatballs get golden brown on the outside.

How to Make Greek Chicken Meatballs

  1. Soak the Breadcrumbs: Combine the milk and breadcrumbs in a bowl and let them sit for a few minutes.
  2. Combine: Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Form: Use a cookie scoop to form meatballs that are similar in size. Coat your hands in a little olive oil and then roll the meatballs in your hands.
  4. Bake: Cook in the air fryer preheated to 400℉ for 11 minutes or in the oven on a baking sheet (also at 400℉) for 12-15 minutes.

Healthy Spinach and Sausage Egg Casserole

Web Admin 0 28 Article rating: No rating

I created this low-carb spinach and sausage egg casserole based on our other egg casserole recipes, but I really wanted an easy, cheesy breakfast casserole with crumbled sausage for a hearty, but still healthy, start to your morning.

Best of all, you can make it ahead of time, so it’s the perfect breakfast casserole for Christmas morning or weekend brunch!

Ingredients for Egg and Sausage Casserole

  • Breakfast Sausage: Provides savory, meaty flavor and richness. Its fat also helps keep the casserole moist and infuses the eggs and veggies with flavor. 
  • Eggs: The main binder and base of the casserole. They set as they bake, holding everything together while adding protein and structure. 
  • Skim Milk: Lightens the egg mixture, making the texture more custardy and less dense. It also helps distribute flavors more evenly throughout the dish. 
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Basic seasoning to enhance all the other flavors. Salt balances richness, and pepper adds gentle warmth.
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Adds bold, tangy flavor and creamy texture. Sharp cheddar stands out against the eggs and sausage, giving the casserole depth.
  • Dried Oregano: Brings a warm, earthy, slightly peppery note that complements both the sausage and cheese, adding a layer of herbal flavor. 
  • Fresh Spinach: Adds color, nutrients, and a fresh contrast to the richness of the meat and cheese. It also brings a bit of moisture and balance.

How to Make Sausage and Egg Casserole

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13″ casserole dish.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium high heat and cook the sausage. Drain the grease and set aside.
  3. Combine: Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add in the sausage, cheese, oregano and spinach and stir to combine.
  4. Bake: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 30-40 minutes.

Are Breakfast Egg Casseroles Healthy?

The short answer is that it depends! It depends on what goes into the egg casserole. This recipe is low carb (2g) and high protein (16g) with a full serving being only about 250 calories. That’s a hearty and satisfying breakfast!

The DOUBLE PEANUT BUTTER Muddy Buddies recipes uses both peanut butter and peanut butter chips making it a peanut-butter-lovers dream snack! It comes together in just a few minutes, no baking needed, and results in the most irresistible snack to feed a crowd!

Why Our Muddy Buddies are Better

Listen, I have some issues with other recipes for puppy chow- too little clumping of peanut butter globs, too much or too little powdered sugar. Ugh, I want to indulge. I want to FEEL the heaviness of peanut butter goodness as clusters stuck together!

The Many Names of Puppy Chow

My mom and sister and I are in a group text and tonight’s text thread was about “muddy Buddies” vs “Puppy Chow”. I don’t know if it was a Pacific Northwest thing or an Idaho thing (that’s where my mom is from), but we call this treat “Puppy Chow.” Always have, always will. But the truth is, it has other names, like muddy buddies, monkey munch, dog food, Chex mix, but no matter what you call it, it’s delicious.

Our daughter and her friends make this recipe almost monthly making it a favorite in our household, (except for our famous GOOEY Peanut Butter M&M Cookies). I CANNOT stop eating either one!

Double Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Recipe Ingredients

  • Creamy Peanut Butter: The star flavor! It coats the cereal, giving it that rich, nutty taste and helps the other ingredients stick together. Peanut butter also adds smoothness and makes the mix more satisfying.
  • Butter: Adds richness, a little extra flavor, and helps thin the peanut butter so it coats the cereal more evenly without clumping.
  • Peanut Butter Chips: Boost that peanut butter flavor even more and give the muddy buddies a creamy, candy-like coating when melted with the peanut butter.
  • Rice Chex Cereal: The crunchy base that holds everything together. Its light, crisp texture makes the perfect vessel for soaking up the peanut butter coating without gettin
