When I started cooking this summer I asked for cooking blog recommendations. I looked at several, but the only one I really fell in love with is How Sweet It Is. If you haven’t checked out this blog yet you must do so. Now. I’m pretty sure the blogger, Jessica, and I were separated at food birth because she loves cheese and buffalo sauce and a bunch of other stuff I love. But mostly cheese. I tend to change her recipes a little and here are two I tried in the past couple weeks that were amazing.
The first one is Turkey, Brie, and Cranberry Sauce Quesadillas, which I turned into Thanksgiving sandwiches. Her version is here. My version is a flatbread, not quesadilla, with brie, a big spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a bunch of apple stuffing on the flatbread. These are so good and you could get really creative with this–use any of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Someone I know thought she might put mashed potatoes on it. We had these several times over the last week and I’m still not sick of them. I also made the quesadillas without the turkey (just brie and cranberry sauce) and it tasted like a dessert. Too yummy.
The next recipe is frozen hot chocolate–the healthier way! This recipe is full of protein and yumminess. I’m not sure what they use in the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity (which I went to during BEA, but I got apple pie instead of frozen hot chocolate) but this has Greek yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, protein powder and more ingredients. It definitely does not feel like a healthy drink when you’re sucking it down but it really is. I made a similar drink with strawberries but I’ll have to talk about that more another time.
I’ve cooked up a storm lately and can’t wait to show you more of my recipes! Do any of you have “healthy dessert” ideas?
