Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

This is just SO easy and SO AMAZINGLY GOOD!

Here's all you need:

2/3 Cup fresh or frozen strawberries

2/3 Cup sugar

 1 envelope whipped dessert topping mix

1 Cup low-fat milk

1 Cup nonfat yogurt

1 quart-sized zip lock freezer bag

Put strawberries and sugar in freezer bag. Zip closed, squeezing out excess air.

Mash strawberries and sugar together in the bag.

(my strawberries were frozen, so I waited for them to thaw a little for easier mashing)

Pour in the powdered whipped topping mix and milk.
Zip the bag closed and squeeze the mix to blend.

Open and add yogurt, seal tightly and squeeze mixture until well blended.
Keep at it until thoroughly mixed.

(If you have an immersion blender you can use it carefully inside the bag to blend if desired)

Put the bag in the freezer for a few hours to harden or freeze overnight.

You can obviously use any kind of fruit you like. I made this with some frozen papaya and WOW!

ENJOY!

Update: In place of the Dream Whip (for those of us here in PNG where you may not have it) I have used 1/3 C of milk powder. I didn't add extra sugar since it's sweet enough for me, but you could add a little more to taste.

Fantastic Teriyaki Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

- Veggies (I used: Broccoli, Bell Peppers, Garlic, Carrots, Onions, Other suggestions: Sweet peas, Asparagus, etc.)  

- Meat (it can be anything, beef, chicken, or i used pork)

- Teriyaki Sauce

Marinate 1 lb steak strips in Kikkoman's Garlic Teriyaki sauce -- a day ahead of time is best =)

Cook the meat FIRST and remove from pan and set aside.

In same pan and leftover sauce cook veggies, add 1/3Cup of Teriyaki Sauce. When the veggies are the right tenderness add the cooked meat, add more Teriyaki to taste.

Done!

Thanks to my dear friend Talitha for the Recipe

Tortilla Pizza - Garlic Ranch Chicken

This is our FAVORITE Friday night pizza! 

It's very light and extra thin - to help us stay extra thin...

First, put 2 tortillas down a on cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray (we love using whole wheat tortillas)

Spread minced garlic over the tortillas, and then spread Ranch dressing on top, coating all the way to the edges

Add your cooked chicken, sliced or shredded, and top with mozzarella cheese. I also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of that.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. This is how my husband likes it - with Ranch dressing poured on top.

And this is how I like it!!!

 

Of course you can make it even "lighter" by using things like low-fat Ranch dressing and cheese if you're lucky enough have those thing available to you. Also add onions or peppers or whatever you like on top. We've done the same thing with barbecue chicken pizza and pepperoni too!
