Mish Mosh

I haven’t been cooking a lot. The holidays meant a lot of time away from the kitchen. On one hand, it was nice to not have to make a lot of meals! On the other, I missed cooking.

When I finally got back into the kitchen, I didn’t want to follow a recipe, I just wanted to cook. What resulted was a yummy mish mosh.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 medium sweet potato, diced
• 8 oz. Brussels sprouts
• Olive oil spray
• 1/2 lb. lean ground turkey
• 7.5 oz. tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• VERY light sprinkle of ground red pepper- less than 1/8 teaspoon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with non stick aluminum foil. Place sweet potato and Brussels on sheet and spray with cooking spray. Roast for ~25 minutes

Meanwhile, brown up lean ground turkey until cooked through.

Add vegetables, tomato sauce and spices to turkey and cook for ~10 minutes.

Top with cheese! Would be yummy served with pasta, rice or scooped up with tortilla chips (if using tortilla chips, may want to dice up the Brussels a bit).

Weekend plans? We have our Body Pump launch tomorrow (whoop, whoop!). Other than that, a date night with the man and baby and brunch with my parents!

Chobani Nutella Brownies

Inspired by many recipes I saw online, but not by the amounts of sugar & butter in them (1 cup of sugar & 1 stick of butter), I came up with my own version of nutella brownies using Chobani vanilla Greek yogurt (you could also use plain and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract):

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup vanilla chobani
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup Nutella (or combination of nutella and peanut butter)
• 3/4 cup AP flour

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an oval pyrex dish or 9x9 inch pan.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and chobani. Add sugar and eggs and mix until combined. Mix in Nutella and stir until mixture is creamy. Add flour and stir until just combined.

Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake for ~25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean

I took these, along with chocolate chip cookie dough balls and later added peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, to a Penn State Bowl Game party:

Yum!
