Episode 23: Frozen Yogurt Bars and Fresh Tomato, Onion, and Four Cheese Salad Recipes & Our Dog Rescue Story! Coming at you with a short episode this time because we are getting ready to go "up north"! A Minnesota phrase people commonly say when going anywhere north to a cabin or lake for vacation. Enjoy this super easy recipe for fruit frozen yogurt bars and a simple but very tasty salad! Also, I shared out dog rescue story of when we were at the same cabin we are going to where we almost lost our dog, who was new to us at the time and he had been rescued from a shelter in Missouri and had been living in a dog foster home when we adopted him. He was so skittish and fearful, irrational really, and he got loose in the woods up north. We spent hours looking for him but it was his bond with my husband that saved him!
Enjoy these recipes and use those yummy summer garden fresh tomatoes!
Frozen Yogurt Bars
2 cups Chobani Greek yogurt, whole milk, either plain or vanilla
1 cup Chobani Greek yogurt 0% milkfat, vanilla, or plain (I usually do one plain and one vanilla for the yogurts, but do whatever you'd like)
3 tablespoons honey
2 chocolate Hershey bars, broken into pieces/chunks
3 ripe bananas cut up (or 1 1/2 to 2 cups cut up strawberries)
Whisk yogurts and honey together. Stir in fruit and chocolate bar pieces. Spread in a parchment lined 9by13 inch pan (or smaller for thicker bars). Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4-5 hours then serve. If serving later on and for leftovers, allow bars to sit out on the counter for a bit to thaw for easier cutting and enjoyment.
Optional stir-in ideas: peanut butter, Nutella, other fruits, other flavored sweet chips like butterscotch chips or candy pieces like Heath bar or cookie crumbles, nuts, raisins
Fresh Tomato, Onion, and Four Cheese Salad
5-6 large tomatoes, chopped
2 scallions chopped, use full
1/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon oil (olive or toasted sesame)
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup grated cheese blend with Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago cheeses
Stir all ingredients together and let sit for about 15 minutes. Serve. The salad is best when eaten fresh.
