Delicious Homemade Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

By Jodee Weiland

A while back I did a Prosciutto, Cantaloupe, and Veggie Wrap with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. I received a lot of positive feedback on this wrap, but one thing stood out for sure. People I know told me how much they enjoyed my Homemade Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. As a result, I felt I should post the recipe for my vinaigrette separately, in order to make it easier for friends and family to find. This recipe for Honey Mustard Vinaigrette really is delicious, whether used on a salad, a sandwich, or a wrap, and has become a family favorite!

One of the reasons, I love this dressing is because I made it with extra virgin olive oil. Most people know how healthy olive oil is, but some people are unaware that when you refrigerate it, it will solidify. When you refrigerate this salad dressing, it will solidify, but if you set it out on the counter for a brief period of time before using it, all you will need to do is to shake it up, and it will be ready to use. Using olive oil makes this dressing so much healthier, and I love healthy!

For the vinaigrette, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together thoroughly with a whisk or handheld blender. Then put it in a container for dressing that will make it easier to drizzle on to your food or spoon it on carefully.

My Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is so delicious and full of flavor. This vinaigrette will make any salad, sandwich, or wrap tastier and more enjoyable than any store bought dressings. Fresh and homemade is always the best, and this is so easy to do, you’ll wish you had done it sooner. That’s the way I felt after I made my own dressing for the first time. I’m sure you will, too, so enjoy!

 

 

Tasty Guacamole with Sweet Chili Pita Chips

By Jodee Weiland

I love guacamole ever since we spent some time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. While there we had some of the best guacamole I had ever tasted. It was absolutely delicious and so tasty! I have tried to recreate this guacamole ever since that time, and I finally think I have succeeded with my Tasty Guacamole with Sweet Chili Pita Chips. The pita chips are something I found here in local stores, but the guacamole is my own adaptation of all the different recipes I have tried.

https://learnfromyesterday.com I start with the typical ripe avocados, cilantro, fresh lime juice, and onion. For me, it only seemed appropriate that I use a red onion. I then added jalapeno, which some recipes have and which I felt was a necessity in order to do this right. I added my favorites, minced garlic and Roma tomato. I then added ground black pepper and a little sea salt to complete my Tasty Guacamole with Sweet Chili Pita Chips. The Sweet Chile Pita Chips came about when I purchased a package for hummus a while back and everyone here loved the chips.

Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove stone, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut the flesh of the avocados into pieces and add the juice of two limes. Add to this the Roma tomato, red onions, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and black pepper. Add sea salt to taste and mix up thoroughly with a spoon. Once done, you are ready to serve. Serve with pita chips or chips of your choice.

https://learnfromyesterday.com My Tasty Guacamole with Sweet Chili Pita Chips is not only delicious, it is healthy as well. The flavors of the fresh ingredients used to make this guacamole blend together to give it a rich flavor and taste. Adding the Sweet Chili Pita Chips was a personal preference for my family and myself, but you can use any chips you prefer. Whichever chips you decide on, when you taste this guacamole, enjoy!

 

Scrumptious Strawberry Banana Nonfat Frozen Yogurt

By Jodee Weiland

In getting ready for summer, I’ve been playing around with different ideas for frozen yogurt. Today I decided to try Scrumptious Strawberry Banana Nonfat Frozen Yogurt. I love strawberry banana yogurt, so why not strawberry banana frozen yogurt. I knew it would probably need some extra sugar, but not that much more. When all was said and done, my Scrumptious Strawberry Banana Nonfat Frozen Yogurt turned out delicious and refreshing!

https://learnfromyesterday.comIn this recipe I added just a little more sugar, since I thought the addition of banana might need it. I think the adjustment was well worth it. The flavor is smooth and fresh, while being just sweet enough to satisfy anyone. I have a little less vanilla extract, but just enough to add some flavor to the plain yogurt. All in all, it turned out wonderful and tasted delicious!

Scrumptious Strawberry Banana Nonfat Frozen Yogurt

2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sugar (or the appropriate equivalent of non-sugar sweetener)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup skim milk
2 cup fresh strawberries frozen lightly and pureed
1 fresh banana pureed (with the strawberries)
Miniature dark chocolate chips or fresh strawberries to sprinkle on top (optional)

Puree the strawberries and banana in a blender. Then blend together the yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and skim milk in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved, about one to two minutes. Once done, blend the strawberry banana puree into the yogurt mixture with the hand mixer on low for about one minute. Following the directions of your yogurt/ice cream maker, turn it on and slowly pour in the blended yogurt and berry mixture. Once it is all in the yogurt maker, let the mixture thicken into your creamy yogurt as the machine works its magic, usually about thirty minutes. When ready, scoop the frozen yogurt into serving dishes, putting any leftover frozen yogurt into a freezer storage container and freeze for later.
