Cucumber Party Snack

Cucumber Party Snack

With summer parties right around the corner, it's a great time to start stocking up on some refreshing and easy party snacks, sides, and appetizers recipes and ideas. This one is not only nice and cool, but it also takes only a few minutes to prepare!

3/4 cup  plain Greek Yogurt

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Mayo

Pinch: salt and pepper

Sliced cucumbers

I made mini sandwiches by putting a dot of the mix in the middle between two cucumber slices, then cut it in half.

Put the extra in the middle in a Ramekin.

Parmesan Greek Yogurt Chicken

As unappetizing as the picture looks is as tasty as it was. Haha. So, here is my recipe. 

Skinless Chicken Breasts

1 cup plain greek yogurt

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Pinches: salt, pepper,  garlic powder, Mrs. Dash lemon pepper

Mix everything but the chicken in a bowl. Place the chicken in sprayed or oiled baking dish. Top each breast generously with mixture. I baked @ 375 for 40-45minutes.

Ease: 5/5

Taste: 4/5

Comments: I liked it very much! It was so cheesy and moist. By the end it was a little too lemony, even for me. My husband doesn't like lemon chicken, like at all. I thought it wouldn't be as lemony as it was. So next time I think I'm going to switch it up and instead of a lemon taste I'm going to use chopped spinach. 

Product Review: Back to Nature Chocolate Delight Granola

Alana's Product Review: Back to Nature Chocolate Delight Granola

After all the fruit I stuck in my yogurt last week, I was looking for a change. Enter the above granola. Now... I'm not going to lie, I chose this one because it was on sale, but I'm glad I did.  It was delicious. Serving size is half a cup, but I used 1/4 cup and it was perfect. I put this in nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt. Not too sweet which is what I was afraid of; I'm not a huge fan of chocolate for breakfast (weirdo, I know). But it pretty delicious, I kind of want to eat some more!

Bottom Line: Yummy, I recommend.

Ease: 5/5

Yum: 3/5

Notes: At first I thought my yogurt from the first post needed more fruit, but I wasn't too impressed with this. It tasted good, but it was a little unsatisfying and a little "unfilling". I think I might have put too much honey, it was a little too sweet and next time I am going to use some granola.
