I used a combination of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips which resulted in a mellow chocolate flavor, perfect for my Neapolitan ice cream. But the best part about homemade chocolate ice cream is that you can use your favorite chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate or any other specialty chocolate.

Gyro is a sandwich consisting of meat roasted on a vertical spit which is then shaved off in thin slices and wrapped in pita bread, topped with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. My gyro-inspired wraps are technically not gyros because the meat is not cooked in the traditional way. However, in my opinion, they taste pretty darn close to an actual gyro. And they are healthier to boot!

Tzatziki sauce {also known as cucumber salad} can technically be served as a dip or a salad but for me, I have always known it as the sauce that makes gyros.

Patriotic Pop-Tarts are the perfect 4th of July treat. Raspberry jam “stripes” and blueberry “stars” give natural color to these little American flag hand pies.

Minnie & Mickey Mouse rainbow cookies added color to the treats table at my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party and dog bone cookies were the perfect way to include Pluto in the festivities. Both cookies were simple, festive additions to the dessert spread.

Fruit bouquets make the perfect healthy snack in addition to being eye-catching centerpieces for parties, BBQ’s and picnics. They can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. You {and your kids!} can make a detailed plan, brainstorming how to make different fruits look like specific flowers or you can simply jump into an making an arrangement using an assortment of fruits, cookie cutters and skewers.

This dessert is simply my favorite Hawaiian breakfast in pound cake form. By substituting low-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, I can have my tropical cake and eat it, too!
