Eat Right Daily

For the past couple of mornings and before then there is something that I like to eat. It is really delicious and a snap to make. No cooking, no mess! All you need is fruit and yogurt. It is easy..just take any fruit you want and put it in a bowl. Then take a single serve yogurt of any flavor and put that in the same bowl. Stir. Eat. Enjoy! It's like a parfait without the granola.

My sister is pregnant and it is something that everyone is looking forward to. It is the first new baby coming into our immediate family since my little brother eight years ago. So, when a baby is born what is it that they need? Clothes of course and I know just where she can get really cute and modern clothes for her new son! She can get them at Tiny Tiny Clothing and Tie Dye Baby Clothes. They have such adorable baby clothes that I hope their website is still around for when I actually have a child of my own. Check out their baby clothes, they're super cute.

Pizza is one of those things that you love to have but it holds a lot of trouble for your diet! I love having a nice piece of pizza with some soda but I can definitely tell when I have it! Anyway, here is a good recipe from Eat Better America for a more healthy homemade pizza.

INGREDIENTS

Crust

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free (skim) milk
2 tablespoons olive oil

Topping

1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (6 oz)
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1 cup yellow or green bell pepper strips
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk and oil until soft dough forms. (If dough is dry, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons additional milk.) On lightly-floured surface, knead dough 10 times. Shape dough into ball. Cover with bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

2. Place dough on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly. Roll out to 12-inch round. Bake 8 minutes.

3. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over crust; top with remaining topping ingredients. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is light golden brown and cheese begins to brown. Cut into wedges to serve.

Fruit is a fantastic treat anytime. I love it, in fact I had some a little bit ago. I saw this recipe and instantly thought of a salad that my mom enjoys. It is similar to this one but not as healthy.

Give this salad a try next time you want to switch things up a bit.

INGREDIENTS

1 red apple, cored and chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat lemon yogurt

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine red apple, Granny Smith apple, nectarine, celery, dried cranberries, and walnuts. Mix in yogurt. Chill until ready to serve.
