I think I'm becoming a foodie...

Well I just love food. I have developed a habit of looking up "healthified" versions of everything and I have found some great things. I also make things differently just with my own ideas. So! Today, my roommates and I wanted to have fruit pizza, but I lamented about how unhealthy it could be. We were also talking about making cookie cups....You make cookie dough, but instead of putting them on a cookie sheet, you put it on an upside down muffin pan.
I combined the ideas and I said we should make sugar cookie fruit cups, put yogurt in them (instead of cream cheese mixture like on fruit pizza) and put fruit on top!
I found a healthier version of sugar cookies...they have whole wheat flour!
I'm a HUGE fan of greek yogurt. Especially Chobani Greek Yogurt. I buy the plain one and then add sweetener and flavoring. Or I use it in recipes like banana bread or a baked french toast I made a few weeks ago for General Conference. You can use the plain yogurt instead of mayonaise, sour cream, and make a million things.
We sliced strawberries, used honey to sweeten the yogurt and we got these!


My roommates loved them!


I will definitely be making these cookies again. And they all loved the greek yogurt! It was a delicious dessert.


I'm always looking for new recipes to try that are healthy or "healthier" versions. Send me any you may have! mcpherson.jamie@gmail.com
