Sunday Dinner: Peach-Raspberry Crisp

No Comments

Hi guys! Today’s Sunday Dinner post is about a peach raspberry crisp my family shared and enjoyed recently. This type of dessert is so perfect for a Sunday dinner because it comes together quite quickly and can be made with fruit from your freezer. Crisp is an amazing way to use up fruit that is super ripe. In this crisp we used previously frozen peaches that we had gotten at the farmer’s market the year before and gorgeous fresh raspberries.

Sugar-Free Greek Yogurt Parfaits

No Comments

Hey guys! Recently I came down with a sinus infection and got thrown on a hefty dose of penicillin. I know, this seems to have nothing useful to add to a recipe about sugar-free yogurt parfaits but here’s the link- antibiotics can do a number on your tummy health. Greek yogurt (or any yogurt with healthy bacteria) can aid in rebalancing the healthy bacteria levels in your stomach. Also, I personally have a hard time dealing with too much refined sugar in my diet, so having natural sugars as opposed to a sugared yogurt parfait from a store is very, very important to me (even though there are SO many delicious store bought options out there). This recipe has peaches, a raspberry coulis, granola and vanilla greek yogurt and not a grain of added sugar. I use honey to thicken the raspberry sauce and it keeps it tart, which…
