Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB Cups

,

Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB CupsFrozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB CupsFrozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB CupsFrozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB Cups Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB Cups Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB Cups Frozen Yogurt with Dark Chocolate PB CupsNo matter the time of year, it’s become one of our favorite sweet tooth cravings in our household. Which one you ask? The frozen yogurt or the dark chocolate peanut butter cups? Actually, both! The best idea was to put the two together to create a bowl of goodness.

Our ice cream maker was an unexpected gift for our wedding and boy did we welcome it with open arms! It is easy to use and clean up!

Even if it is chilly outside, your family will love this and keep coming back from more. Plus, you don’t need to tell them it’s made with yogurt and candy without junk and less sugar than normal. 😉 Secrets safe! xo

 

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups Stonyfield Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 6 UnReal dark chocolate peanut butter cups (cut into bite-sized pieces)

What to do:

Combine all ingredients, except peanut butter cups, into a stand or hand-held mixer. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Pout into ice cream maker and churn for about 20 minutes. Churn another five minutes. Then, slowly add the bite-sized peanut butter cups. Pour ice cream into a freezer safe container with a lid. Place in the freezer for at least two hours. Scoop and enjoy!

Friday Favorites + Urban Southern

,

Friday Favorites 01This week has been filled with a lot of Christmas music to keep somewhat of a hop in my step. 😉 Here’s to the a fun-filled weekend that involves a 5K, Friendsgiving, and a lot of relaxing all weekend long. 🙂

One. I heard of the company Urban Southern from Andrea’s blog and fell in love with their bags. Their bags are made of impeccable craftmanship, beautiful leather, and are so spacious! It can hold some of my favorite goodies plus my huge blanket scarf. Win- win. 😉 I am head over heels with my new sidekick and it is by far my favorite bag I have ever received. You can find the bag I ordered, here!

This showed up as I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and I got so excited. These used to be my favorite episodes! I love Oprah’s Favorite Things. 🙂

Three.dsc_0125Can we talk about this Thanksgiving side dish?! I had to hold myself back from eating the entire serving I made. Recipe, here!

Four.I used another brand for a little and now I’m back at it. Favorite, here!

Five.My friend and I met for coffee at a bakery we have never been to. Best decision ever! It was the coziest of spots and was all decked out for Christmas. (Which I obviously loved). So fun to catch up and try and hold myself back from ordering one of everything.

Happy Friday friends and a huge thank you to Urban Southern for the best leather bags around. 🙂

I’m linking up with Erika, Narci, Andrea, Tif, April, and Karli!

Stranded Island + Outerwear

I went against the grain on this one and didn’t necessarily list three pieces of outerwear I would bring on an island because I’m hoping it will at least be warm there. 😉 I stuck to my favorite pieces that I adore and have been a staple for several years.
1. JCrew City Coat 2. North Face Fleece 3. Gap Vest

1. JCrew City Coat: I got this coat last year and I’m kind of obsessed with it. It’s great quality and keeps me warm, which is a must! I bought it in seaside coral but it comes in a variety of colors! 🙂

2. North Face Fleece: Buying this fleece in college was a staple around campus. So naturally, I bought it. But in all honestly, I love this fleece. It’s so warm, heavy-duty, and versatile. I’m now eyeing up this sweater. I also have a beanie from The North Face that I love! Similar, here.

3. Gap Vest– I have had my puffer vest since high school and still wear it. Good thing they remain each season. 😉

Last but not least, gloves. (I know, I added more than four pieces of outerwear but tis’ the season). 😉 I bought these gloves four years ago when we planned a trip to New York. They have the tech touch screen design and work out great. However, my hands are cold so often that I’m up for any glove recommendations. Send them my way and have an amazing Wednesday! I’ll be over here listening to Christmas music any chance I get! xo

It’s as simple as that. Your family will love it! Although it is a side dish, it can be a clean-eating dish for any night of the week.

  • 2 cups brussel sprouts (halved)
  • 1 Tbsp EVOO
