"It's The Best Frozen Yogurt You've Ever Made!"

I arrived back in Columbus around 9 pm last night, after a rather short, but successful interview with....well ......I can't tell you yet :) Don't worry though, I will be telling you soon, even if I don't get the job. Until then I'm just going to be that annoying blogger who teases her readers. Sorry, I really have no choice!

Last Tuesday was Nick and my 4 year "dating" anniversary. We are actually celebrating tonight by going to the restaurant where we had our first date, called Bravo. As for gifts, we promised to only spend about $15-$20 on each other because we are still saving for things for the house (and I'm still jobless.....). But we are lucky that the simple things are what really make us smile.

I always tell Nick that while I love roses, sometimes I prefer different flowers, with more color! So what did he do? He bought me both.

What a guy!

I took the really cheap route and made him some of his favorite blueberry frozen yogurt. Did you read the title of this post? That's what Nick told me the first time I made this. I call it frozen yogurt because I use half and half instead of cream. I also use less sugar. Typically frozen yogurt has more sugar than ice cream (they have to replace the fat with something, right?!), but that's why mine is special :)

Gina's Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

Blend together 1 cup frozen blueberries, ~ 11 T sugar (I used 2 T NuNaturals Erythritol!), 2 cups chilled organic half and half (or non-organic if you choose), and 1 cup soy milk (or almond milk, or skim milk).

Pour into your ice cream maker, and churn for about 18 minutes (or however long your ice cream maker instructions indicate).


After 18 minutes, stop the machine, take out the mixer, and pop into the freezer to get it nice and frozen.

Possible Add-Ins

- Chunks of milk or dark chocolate

- Extra berries

- Granola

- Walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews

- Other ideas?

CALORIES: ~ 120 calories per 1/2 cup
Phytonutrients/Antioxidants: I don't know how many, but there are definitely some! What beats a cup of frozen yogurt with some health benefits??

Coming Up
On Monday I'm going to bombard you with all of the sweet potato creations I've made in the past month, and year. Don't you just LOVE sweet potatoes?! I do.

Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks for reading!
