Peaches and Cream Popsicles There's nothing like eating a sweet, juicy, ripe peach on a hot summer day – but these peaches and cream popsicles made with yogurt, almond milk and almond extract make a wonderful treat on a hot day like today. It's in the nineties today, the kind of day where you want to either sit in front of the air conditioner and never leave the house, or swim in the pool all day – we opted for the latter. I've been thinking about making a peach dessert combined with almond extract – because I love the smell of my peach-almond facial scrub, so I came up with this easy dessert using really ripe sweet peaches, unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk and almond extract – delish! And by the way, Almond Breeze now comes in single size servings and is hosting a giveaway on Skinny Bits. Click here for a chance to win. I used raw sugar to sweeten these, but you could sweeten them with stevia or whichever sweetener you prefer. Ingredients: Halve and pit the peaches.

Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders This is an easy dinner idea, that always gets eaten by my kids, breaded chicken tenders! I used to dip each chicken tender in the yogurt bowl, and then the breading bowl and put them on a baking sheet one by one. As I got older, wiser, and busier, I slowly started dumping more and more of the chicken in the bowl all at once, stirring to coat, and then laying out on the baking sheet. Although I literally hate pictures of meat, I'm posting them anyway. Breaded Chicken Tenders: 1 lb.boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins (about 10-15 tenderloins)1 cup plain yogurt1 cup breadcrumbs (homemade or whole wheat)1 teaspoon season salt1/3 cup parmesan cheese2 teaspoons garlic salt Step 1: Put all thawed chicken in a large bowl Step 2: Dump yogurt on top, and mix thoroughly until all chicken is coated with yogurt. Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine your bread crumbs, season salt, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. Step 4: Dump all chicken in breading and stir till every piece is coated.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos While I know this will make me sound like the worst babysitter in the world, I have a three year old neighbor I offer to babysit once in awhile who loves to get into trouble! Once, I turned my back for a few minutes, and she walked out of my bathroom, gripping the razor from my bathtub in her tiny little hands! And, she refused to let go when I was trying to gently pry it from her hands. Needless to say, I never turn my back on that child anymore. She is always in my peripheral vision when I am babysitting. Last night, I offered to babysit again, along with her 1 year old sister, whom I love to hold the entire time. Between dry beans, shredded meats, and soups, I use a Crock-pot (slow cooker) at least once a week, sometimes twice! It was simple, and required no preparation. Chicken thighsHomemade taco seasoning (recipe below)and homemade salsa Cooking chicken in a slow cooker, with nothing more than seasoning and salsa, goes really fast. And did the kids eat it?
