Is the summer heat getting to you? Have you run out of ideas for healthy meals and snacks? Or are you just too busy quilting, along with all the other activities of summer, to actually stop and cook? Lately, I've had fun creating some simple and delicious meals and snacks. Cooking is one hobby that can rob me of valuable quilting time. So I love it when I find new ways to make old favorites more easily and quickly. 

Some of the ideas I've come up with are a simple frozen yogurt, a green strawberry yogurt smoothie, a peach compote on top of protein pancakes, and strawberry rosemary scones! I made a new version of "overnight oats" (a yummy combination of yogurt, oats and chia seeds, kind of like a breakfast pudding,) that I called Almond Joy Overnight Oats! Now that's a great breakfast to start out your days in the heat of summer. I even made a simple lower calorie pizza using pre-made whole grain pizza dough. Oh, and I re-visited the recipe that I shared in the latest issue of The Quilt Life magazine--Single Lady Lasagne. This one has a few more ingredients, but even it is easier to make than traditional lasagne (and has a lot less calories!)

I share my ideas and recipes over on my blog, Debby Weighs In. You can find these particular ideas in these two posts: A Pretty Fun Day and Recipes and Ideas.
