Good Friday Morning! Can I get a “woot woot” for Friday?!? This week has actually flown by for me. I can’t believe it’s the weekend already! I’ll take it!
As you know, I don’t typically post everything I eat on the blog, but I’ve had a few tasty treats in the last few days that I thought it necessary to share. They were just too good!
First up, desserts! I have a wicked sweet tooth and around 8:30 every night, it demands to be fed! Since buying ice cream inevitably leads to me devouring the entire carton in a matter of days, I’ve been making different versions of banana soft serve. The latest:
That would be one frozen banana put into the food processor with just the tiniest splash of coconut milk and blended until smooth. Then, I added in a heaping teaspoon of cocoa powder and a little more coconut milk and blended again until it was smooth and creamy. ![]()
Served in a wine glass because aren’t things that are not wine just so much more fun when served in a wine glass???
My other recent obsession has been Chocolate Covered Katie’s cookie dough balls!
Chocolate Covered Katie can do no wrong. And I absolutely adore that she does “Single Lady” desserts! A girl after my own Party of One heart!
I also have a few salads that I’ve thrown together while making dinner.
Spinach with strawberries and feta:
Spinach and romaine with strawberries, sunflower seeds, and grilled chicken:![]()
And a “leftover” Greek salad with romaine, grape tomatoes, feta, cucumbers, and pepperoncinis, plus a pita on the side.
I pack my salads in a plastic container, putting a little olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice plus salt and pepper in the bottom before adding the greens on top. At lunchtime, I just shake shake shake and get a perfectly dressed salad!
Here’s another random “I have a bunch of produce dying in my fridge” pizza I made a while back, too!![]()
Thinly sliced zucchini and squash with artichoke hearts and halved grape tomatoes, topped with fresh parmesan. For the “sauce,” I just used olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper over the crust. ![]()
Have you had any particularly tasty desserts, lunches, or dinners lately? What are you making??? I need weekend recipes!
The banana soft serve looks really yummy. And yes, everything is better in a wine glass.
This week has kinda been a hodgepodge, but we’re trying something new tonight.
That strawberry salad looks delicious now that summertime is here that will be one of my go to salads.
I had a very similar spinach salad as well – with goat cheese, almonds, and balsamic. That pizza looks so fresh for being “dying produce”!
Oh my gosh, that second cookie photo is making me hungry… it’s taunting me, like, “You know you want to eat me.” Yes, yes I do!
Ahhh, Katie I am in love with your recipes!
My friend Michelle is insisting I make Nutella brownies. And really, she had me at “Nutella.”
1/2 cup Nutella, 1 egg, 5 tbsp of flour. Mix. 350 for 10-12 minutes.
I’m pretty sure she could have said “Nutella Dirty Sock” and I would have agreed to make it. I’m gonna try to make them this weekend!
“Nutella Dirty Sock” Haha! Report back on that, will you?
Those cookies look sooooo doughy! My fav! Yummy pizza flatbread.
I always underbake my baked goods, so those were right up my alley! SOOOOOO good!
i love all this greek food that you’re sharing on here:) The spinach, feta, and strawberry salad looks absolutely DELICIOUS!
mmm I love the look of all of your eats!
Particularly the soft serve and the pizza. mmm mmmm!
I wish I could think of new recipes but my creative center of brain seems shot today! I guess it’s ready for the weekend! I hope you have a lovely one!
