Homemade Energy Bars
These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.

I wanted to be able to enjoy the zucchinis that are in season {and get my son to eat the healthy green veggie} without also consuming an abundance of butter or oil. So I made zucchini bread with low-fat yogurt instead of oil. Between the grated zucchini and the yogurt the bread was incredibly moist and my family didn't miss the oil at all.

Parfait, French for "perfect," is traditionally a French dessert. In the United States it has transitioned into a healthy and filling breakfast or snack, typically made with yogurt, granola and berries. In the spirit of the 4th of July I layered strawberry, vanilla and blueberry yogurts with homemade granola to create a festive red, white and blue breakfast.

These yogurt pops are essentially a frozen version of our breakfast smoothies. I used a combination of frozen blueberries and blackberries. You can mix and match the fruit, yogurt and fruit juice of your choice.

My family loves our lighter chicken tikka masala sauce so much that we decided to make the Indian curry dish with fish instead of chicken. I knew it was a successful meal when my son devoured the fish just as quickly as he does the chicken.

This cake has a rich buttery vanilla flavor but when compared with many other cakes, it is surprisingly not that bad for you. It is moist and great for building theme cakes and when paired with buttercream frosting it's one of my family's all-time favorite cake/cake pop combos.
