Hey, yall!!! I so apologize for the lack of posts in the past few weeks. I knew when starting this blog it would be hard at times to find inspiration and I guess the genre of my posts in the past say a lot about me....I LOVE FOOD! haha no but really. Can you blame a sister?! I am really racking my brain to find inspiration outside of food posts....
h e l p!!!
Can I tell you about my weekend? I made the 14 hour trip from Oklahoma City to Southwest VA for a very special occasion. [yes I drive. I HATE FLYING! I repeat...I HATE FLYING!] Other than seeing my family whom I missed very much, I made the trip to see one of my oldest and dearest friends celebrate the upcoming birth of her baby girl. [I can't wait to meet you, baby Ava :)] I was extremely strategic on my trip to VA due to all this crazy weather the East Coast has been having and actually left a day early to stop half way and spend the night. The trip there was a piece of cake and I had the best time spending the weekend laughing and enjoying the company of my sweet family and oldest friends. I left Monday morning to return to Oklahoma. Knowing there had been some weather in the Midwest I anticipated being a little later to arrive than normal but still eager to get home. After driving for around 7 hours and entering Arkansas my trip began to go South...not literally. The roads began to be covered with snow and I altered my speed accordingly. 150 miles from my destination it began to get dark and even colder and upon entering Oklahoma very dangerous. Thank GOD there were not many cars on the road because at one point my car did almost a full circle when I tried to ease on my breaks due to not being able to see the ice on the road. I had only been going about 30 mph thankfully but when this happened I totally hit my breaking point. There I was crying in my car as I caught my breath and thought how long it would take me to actually reach my destination at this rate. I was tired and hungry and needed to pee....but determined not to stop. After my parents and husband gave me a hard enough time I pulled over in a town called Checotah, Oklahoma and spent the night. 27 hours and one hotel stay later I finally got home and the first thing I thought upon arriving to my apartment is ......Spring..come on girlfriend!!
Never did I think I would be ready for the Winter to end and say goodbye to the beautiful snow but this girl has reached her limit this year. #ByeFelicia
In my attempt to prepare myself for what I hope is a quick transition to Spring I whipped up this amazingly easy & delicious frozen yogurt: Blueberry Coconut Frozen Yogurt. This was literally the easiest desert and oh SO refreshing and healthy! I am not a huge fan of ice cream...[dont judge me] but frozen yogurt? bring it on!!! And a desert that can whipped up in one machine in 5 minutes? LET'S DO IT!
4 cups of frozen blueberries
-You could absolutely make this with any type of frozen fruit
1/2 cup coconut greek yogurt
-You could absolutely use any flavor of yogurt you wish
3 tablespoons of agave nectar
- You cold absolutely use honey
Juice of 1/2 or 1 lemon...depending on how juicy
- If you cant get the juice a flowin' just give her a good roll on the counter and she will be good to go!
Using a food processor - which Im sure a good blender would also work - add all the ingredients and let it go for about 5 minutes -- starting on low then switching to high. I let mine go a little longer, it cant hurt it and I like a really firm consistency.
To serve I topped it with a few frozen blueberries just so people would know what fruit they were eating as well as some toasted coconut for texture and a little hint hint of what that mysterious flavor that is running throughout the yogurt. Oh Yeah..its coconut!!
This is what the #cleanbowlclub looks like and I can guarantee you will join me as soon as you whip up this delicious sweet treat. I am imagining that I am making this and sitting out on my desk with a good book and 70 degree weather...instead of the snow covered ground that is our current situation.
Send me your pictures of other variations of this yummy yogurt.
XO.
Elizabeth
