Peach Frozen Yogurt

So I was browsing Pinterest and I found this recipe and thought I would give it a try. I'm very particular about yogurt in food. I think it's a texture thing because I don't like blue cheese, cottage cheese, etc. I generally do fruit-based smoothies because I can't do yogurt-based. I just can't.

When I was house sitting I couldn't find the food processor so I opted for the blender and it works just as well. If you're Rachael Ray fan like myself and estimate your ingredients sometimes this is not the recipe to do so. First, don't buy a large container of yogurt when you really only need one individual size. I used plain Greek yogurt instead of “plain yogurt” and it turned out fine. My preference is the Oikos brand. Remember that lemon juice comes out a lot faster than honey. Just saying.  

It was fantastic! 

Peach Frozen Yogurt ~ 4 Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 5 min

Ingredients:
1 (16-oz.) bag frozen peaches or 4 cups fresh peaches, frozen solid
3 Tablespoons agave nectar or honey
1/2 cup plain yogurt (non-fat or whole)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Add the frozen peaches, agave nectar (or honey), yogurt and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Process until creamy, about 5 minutes.

Serve the frozen yogurt immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Recipes - Chicken Aparagus Frittata & Sweet Potato Hashbrowns

--Chicken Asparagus Frittata
-8 eggs
-1/2 bunch of asparagus
-1 onion
-8oz mushrooms
-2 chicken breasts cooked (opt)
-skillet that will transfer to oven or use pie plate

Chop veggies and chicken. Heat skillet on medium high heat with a little evoo. Saute chopped onions and mushrooms in skillet. After a few minutes add chicken and asparagus. Season according to your taste. We used very little salt, lots of black pepper and some red pepper flakes and garlic (we love things spicy). After asparagus becomes tender, add beaten eggs in to skillet. Mix with spatula. Turn heat to low (3) and allow bottom to set. Original recipe said 8 minutes, for me it was runny. I allowed it to set for 12. I don't like runny eggs! Transfer skillet to oven (or pie plate-grease it first) under broiler for about 10 minutes or until top is done.

Use whatever veggies you like! Be creative!

Optional: we are trying to use less cheese, but you can mix cheese in with the beaten eggs before you combine in skillet and use some on top.

--Sweet Potato Hashbrowns
-1 sweet potato per person grated
-1 onion chopped or grated

Use a little evoo in skillet, add sweet potatoes, onion, and season to preference. We use very little salt, lots of black pepper and some red pepper. (Mom said it was too spicy!?!) Watch sweet potatoes! They brown very quickly!
