Turn plain store bought yogurt into a Vanilla Bean Yogurt Recipe with Fresh Berries! Semi-homemade easy recipe.

Vanilla Bean Yogurt Recipe with Fresh Berries one of the ultimate baby shower dessert recipes that I will always make from here on out.  I was drawing a complete blank of what baby shower recipes to make.  I knew I wanted to make a baby shower recipe for boys, but I didn’t want to use any artificial colors or dyes.  Kay was eating her usual Vanilla Bean Yogurt Recipe with Fresh Berries AND then it hit me!  Literally she threw the bowl at me..   I ate the rest and said, “ooh this would be a perfect healthy baby shower recipe for the kids!”.

It’s ridiculously simple to make and tastier than just putting regular yogurt into a cup.  This is a semi-homemade recipe and I use my favorite Wallaby Organic yogurt.  I buy the Whole Milk plain and add few ingredients to make it delicious!  I just love how it’s portable and easy for the kids to eat.  The cups make it fun and easy to clean up.  I just used sturdy cupcake muffin cups.  You could use something non disposable if you’d like.

No Cook Homemade Ice Cream Without Eggs Recipe is our go to ice cream recipe.   No cooking, no eggs and it’s just as delicious.  Plus you can control and limit the sugar.

So many ice creams these days are filled with too much sugar, even if you get organic.  People tend to think organic is healthy.  Yes, it’s better for you than non-organic, but is it really BETTER FOR YOU?.. Unfortunately Kay is addicted to sweets, like her mommy and daddy!

This is a sponsored post with Nestlé Toll House and we had a ton of fun making  Easy Toll House cookie dough recipes! Due to Kay’s FPIES food allergy we missed ou on the cookie tradition the past two years.  This year we’re going all out.  Rolled and Ready!  Today we tried  Nestlé Toll House Rolled and Ready Cookie […]

A delicious and creamy cheesecake topped with beautiful organic strawberries and allergen-free chocolate | Chocolate Covered Strawberry Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Recipe 

My daughter has never enjoyed a bite of cheesecake.  She’s two years old!  Obviously, with all her new food passes, we had to take it slow and we had a bunch of hiccups.  Cream cheese caused us a ton of confusion with her FPIES (what is fpies?) food allergy.

For awhile she would have a chronic reaction whenever she had cream cheese, but she’s never experienced a chronic reaction with any other food.  We waited quite a few months to try cream cheese again.  Just recently we also found a graham cracker that has NO soy!  Plus they’re non-gmo and even organic!

Kay loves to snack on these honey grahams, and as soon as we found these we knew we had to try cream cheese again.  Thankfully it went well and she can now safely eat cream cheese!  Of course, we had to rush and make a cheesecake.  Not just any cheesecake.. but a vanilla bean cheesecake.  Kay loves chocolate and berries so we obviously had to top with chocolate covered strawberries.  We’re not a fan of cooked down fruit so we just left them as is.

Recently we went to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Secaucus, NJ.  Kay had an absolute blast.  We went last year and found Enjoy Life Foods Chocolate to trial, and has been by far our favorite food trial.  Thankfully Enjoy Life is free of most allergens and of course it’s soy free too!  Due to Kay’s FPIES she still cannot eat soy, chicken, or oatmeal.  They had a new crunchy cookie this year that we hadn’t tried yet, and Kay fell in love right away!  As soon as I tasted the Crunchy Double Chocolate Cookie, I thought.. COOKIES AND CREAM!
