Have you ever tried Kodiak Cakes?! It is such a versatile box of mix in our house!! Pack with protein and fiber, you can make just about anything including waffles, pancakes, muffins, and PIZZA!! 

Ingredients: 

• 1 Cup Kodiak Cake mix

• 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt 

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 

• Mix the 2 ingredients together.

• Spray pan with EVOO spray and evenly lay out dough.

• Bake for 10 minutes 

• Take out of oven, apply desired toppings and put back in the oven until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes). 

*My favorite is using a low sugar pizza sauce, onions, peppers, roma tomatoes, shredded chicken, and a couple sprinkles of mozzarella cheese!

Tasty Tuesday

Here is a great treat to help with those chocolate cravings.  Making these yourself vs. buying them in the store will save you from undesirable ingredients and some $$.  Try these soon!  SO good!

Ingredients:

• 6 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet high quality chocolate
• 1 and 1/2 cups whole almonds (raw and unsalted)
• sea salt
• turbinado sugar (or any coarse/raw sugar)

Directions:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
2. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or (carefully!) use the microwave. For the microwave, place the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can temper the chocolate. If tempering, do not store finished nuts in the refrigerator.
3. Stir the almonds into the chocolate, making sure to coat each one. Using a dipping tool or a fork, lift the almonds out of the chocolate one by one or only a couple at a time (you don't want them all sticking together!), gently tap the tool/fork against the side of the bowl to release excess chocolate, and place onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining almonds.
4. Sprinkle almonds with a little sea salt and turbinado sugar, then allow chocolate to completely set. I placed the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed it up!
5. Store chocolate covered almonds in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
