yes for yoghurt!

Having a sweet tooth and my love of baked goods I know I have to draw the line somewhere and be conscious of my sweets intake of else... and so I have always been on the lookout for 'healthy' baked goods recipe and this is my newest find.

Yoghurt Bread
ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packed tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon pain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

how to:
- Preheat your oven to 375 F and get out a mixing bowl. Whip together the yogurt, egg, oil, salt, sugars, and melted butter. Sprinkle in the baking soda and baking powder and then slowly add the flour. Once the batter comes together, pour into your greased loaf pan and pop in the hot oven for 45-minutes.



The bread smelled so good and was moist with the right amount of sweetness. Next time I am going to use fruit flavored yoghurt and throw some fresh fruits in!

Steak dinner on me

when I cook steak, I season it only by salt and pepper and and quickly pan fry it on both sides for a few minutes with a knob of butter, but I have recently discovered a steak marinate that gives more flavor and makes the meat more juicy.  The original recipe called for a few more ingredients that I didn't have like Dijon mustard so I just made do with what I have on hand. Balsamic Steak Marinade: ingredients: - 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar - 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar - 1/4 olive oil - 1/4 cup water - 1 tbsp minced garlic - salt and pepper how to: - mix everything in a bowl - marinate steaks overnight and cook as you normally would with a side of corn kernels and cheesey broccoli and am all set!!
