Why is it that every time I wake up early to write a blog post, I spend an hour trying to fix our Internet. I’m talking to you Time Warner..I think it may be time to look into some alternatives!
Okay, enough ranting! It’s Wednesday and the lovely Jen at Peas and Crayons is hosting the best part on the interwebs today..WIAW! After my Lame-o WIAW lat week, I promised that I would change it up a bit for this week and make it a bit more interesting, so instead of showing what I ate yesterday (if you’ve seen one dippy egg, you’ve seen em all) I’m going to share some fun things I’ve made or eaten in the past week.
Since June’s theme is Sensible Snacking, I’m going to start with my snacks. First up, Greek yogurt fruit popsicles.
Munchkin is a nut for all things ice cream. I’m pretty sure I could freeze some broccoli into popsicle form and it would go down no problem.
All I did was mix a container of plain Chobani but a bit of honey with cherries, strawberries, grapes and a peach. I let it freeze overnight, and I got myself a sensible snack for both young and old.
Another sensible snack that I’ve been enjoying this week is the Strawberry Banana Muffins that I made on Monday. I took a recipe that I found on the recipe cards at the supermarket and tweaked it to make it a bit healthier. Munchkin can down these muffins like they’re going out of style, so when they’re a bit on the healthier side, I don’t feel so bad when he asks for a second or a third.
Another thing that I love in the summer is grilled corn on the cob.
While some people peel the corn and wrap in it tip foil with butter, salt and all sorts of other stuff, I just throw the whole ear on the grill and wet the sweetest, most flavorful corn, no extra salts and fats needed.
The last item I am sharing was made by my lovely boyfriend over the weekend. Some guys that he works with were talking about spaghetti al guitarra, and he decided to make it for us.
The dish is spaghetti tossed with grilled shrimp, sauteed cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh chunks of mozzarella which get stringy when tossed in with the hot ingredients giving the dish its name.
It is so.so.so.so.good!
Have a tasty Wednesday!
What’s your favorite thing off the grill? What’s the best thing you ate this week?
The greek yoghurt popsicles you made look amazing! So full of fruit as well!
They are amazing! 🙂
I freeze spinach in my 13 month olds PopsicleS and she LOVES them!

I need to try that! He loves smoothies and juice with spinach, so I\’m pretty sure he would gobble it up in popsicles.
Those popsicles look amazing!!!!!!!!

Yours is the second WIAW that I’ve read with homemade popsicles. It must be a sign. I know I’ve got molds somewhere. I must try.
Those muffins look awesome too. I love baking muffins and tossing extra goodies in them.
