Breakfast

Here is what Dimples and The Present have been having for breakfast or snacks lately - YUM!

Smoothies in the bullet (I love this thing!)
Frozen fruit like strawberries, blueberries or peaches
1 banana
1 T flaxseed
1T honey
1/2 Cup non-fat Greek yogurt
apple or orange juice - whatever we have

The Greek yogurt makes it creamy and adds protein.  They are so delicious and the kids love them!

Recipes

I like to cook, although I don't always feel like I have the time to cook the way I would like to these days.

Tonight, I came across a teriyaki recipe that I adjusted and loved so I thought I would share. It's really easy, and it's really good. I actually thought I had a bottle of teriyaki sauce in the fridge, and now I am glad I didn't. Who knew it was THIS EASY to make teriyaki sauce? Plus I am sure it is better for you than the stuff in the bottle. Tonight I put it on chicken with a slice of pineapple, but I am going to make it again to do a teriyaki bowl later this week. Yum!

1 cup pineapple juice/water mix (I used all the juice from a can of pineapple rings, then added water to make 1 cup of liquid)
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic - minced
2 tsp. honey
2 T. brown sugar

1 T. cornstarch plus 2 T. water

Mix pineapple juice/water mix, soy sauce, garlic, honey and brown sugar in saucepan. Heat on med. heat. Mix the cornstarch and water together, add to sauce pan. Heat until thickened. Fresh grated ginger (or dried ginger) would be a great addition to this, but I don't care for the taste of ginger so I didn't use any.

I hope you like it as much as I do!
