Skinny Strawberry Cream Fruit Dip

Summer is such a great time to fill your diet with fresh fruit. It's also a great option to have at a party or shower. Here's a great dip to include with your next fruit tray or just to have on hand for you & your family! 

It's low fat too so it's a guilt free treat!

Skinny Strawberry Fruit Dip

makes approx. 6 cups

2 envelopes Dream Whip or 4 cups low fat whipped topping

1 package strawberry jello mix

1 cup low fat strawberry yogurt 

Prepare Dream Whip according to package directions. In a separate bowl, prepare the jello  according to directions, but don't allow it to completely set. Only refrigerate for 45 minutes to an hour - until thickened, but still a liquid. Fold jello & strawberry yogurt into the whipped topping. Refrigerate for 2 more hours, until thickened. 

Serve with fruit. 

Note: If it gets runny, you can whip it for 2 minutes on high & it will bring it right back to life!

Enjoy the fruits of summer!

Greek Style Grilled Pork Chop Meal

Barbecue season is here! Well, it's been here for awhile, but now that school is almost done, we are planning to have more time outside with friends.

And this is the perfect meal to prepare for nights like that!

My Not-Yet-Famous Guacamole

  I don't know about you, but our family enjoys Mexican food year-round. Guacamole is one of our all-time favourite things to eat. My husband loves it so much that he keeps telling me I need to package & sell it! Well, instead, I'm going to share my not-yet-famous recipe with you. This is totally my own creation.

Steph's Not-Yet-Famous Guacamole

3 peeled, mashed ripe avocados 

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (or 1 tbsp dried parsley)

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (juice of 2 small limes)

1 1/2 tsp. hot sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix it all together. It's best if you can let it sit for a couple of hours to let the flavours mingle, but you can serve immediately too. 

Serve with chips, veggies, or nachos.

We like our guacamole chunky so I don't over mash the avocados, but if like yours smooth, you could puree it. 

Tip: If you buy hard avocados & need them to ripen quickly, put them in a paper bag on your kitchen counter & they will ripen in half the time!
