Easy Blueberry Buttermilk Cake
https://ift.tt/3jVCbaN Easy Blueberry Buttermilk CakeThis light and Easy Blueberry Buttermilk Cake loaded with fresh, juicy blueberries in a lightly sweetened, moist buttermilk cake is ideal for summer.
I know many of my readers prefer baking from scratch over using boxed mixes, so I love to test new recipes and share the very best with you. This Blueberry Buttermilk Cake is one of the winners. Blueberries are one of my favorite additions to any dessert. A few other blueberry recipes I enjoy are Blueberry Banana Bread, Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins (which are also gluten-free and dairy-free), Blueberry Scones, and Blueberry Peach Crisp.
The blueberries are the star of this cake, and I didn’t think it needed any frosting. I simply topped it with a little powdered sugar before serving (completely optional) or you can even serve it with some whipped topping (or Greek yogurt) on the side. I set out to make a cake loaded with fresh blueberries without all the butter you would typically find in most cake recipes. I was so pleased with the results, and you will be too! The blueberries are the star of this light cake. Each bite is bursting with juicy blueberries. I used fresh berries, but you can use frozen if you prefer. Creating low-fat baked dessert recipes is tricky and usually requires a few rounds of experimenting. Luckily, it only took me two attempts to get this cake just right. On the first attempt, I didn’t use buttermilk and used double the applesauce. Although it worked, it was a little dense, whereas this final cake is perfectly moist and fluffy. This recipe only uses four tablespoons of butter, plus applesauce, a great fat substitute in baked goods. Is buttermilk good for baking cakes?Yes, buttermilk is good for baking cakes. Buttermilk is more acidic than regular milk, which helps break down gluten, leaving you with a more tender, moist cake. For some more buttermilk recipes, try my Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones and Skillet Mixed Berry Buttermilk Cobbler. And, buttermilk isn’t just great for baking desserts, it’s also excellent in savory recipes, like my Buttermilk Roasted Chicken, Cobb Salad with Buttermilk Ranch, and Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes. How to Serve Blueberry Buttermilk CakeI didn’t think this blueberry cake needed any frosting, so I simply topped it with a little powdered sugar before serving (completely optional). You can even serve it with some whipped topping or Greek yogurt on the side. Since this cake isn’t overly sweet, it also makes a delicious breakfast. I love eating it with my coffee in the mornings.

9 Ways to Make Pesto Straight from the Garden
https://ift.tt/33c0rQ7 Pesto has quickly become one of my favorite ways to use up my fresh garden produce. Don’t let the basil and pine nuts fool you; you can make pesto out of almost any fresh green, herb, or nut combination. Try mint and parsley, kale and cashews, or even carrot tops. I love slathering pesto on summer sandwiches and burgers, using it as a sauce for pizza, and whipping up a quick weeknight pasta dish with pesto as the sauce. Every time I taste its rich flavors and the way it miraculously transforms meals, I can’t help but think to myself, “Presto, pesto!” So, let’s see just exactly how many different ways you can make pesto and transform everyday dishes into wondrous adventures!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie
https://ift.tt/3hVh072
You are in for a treat today! Few things are better than berries and chocolate… especially chocolate covered strawberries. Now combine those flavors into a smoothie and you’ve got a healthy breakfast or snack that tastes like dessert. Yes, please!
Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie IngredientsHere’s what you’ll need for this smoothie:
Fresh or Frozen Fruit for Smoothies?You can use fresh or frozen fruit in smoothies. It just depends on how thick (and cold) you like your smoothies. I personally love using frozen banana in smoothies because it gives them a creamy, thick texture that is similar to a smoothie you’d get at a smoothie shop. That said, I prefer to use fresh strawberries for this smoothie when they’re in season because they’re extra sweet. Frozen strawberries also work and will make the smoothie extra thick. If thick smoothies are your jam, opt for frozen berries. This recipe also includes frozen banana chunks and ice so it will be chilled no matter which fruit option you use.
How to Make a Filling SmoothieMy number one tip for making a filling smoothie is adding some sort of protein. Without protein, you’re basically just eating a bunch of fiber and sugar. The protein helps balance the blood sugar spike and it help you feel satisfied and full longer which is always a goal in my book! For this smoothie, I like using vanilla or chocolate protein powder, whichever you have on hand. Obviously chocolate protein powder will give the smoothie even more chocolate flavor. If you’re looking for a smoothie that used Greek yogurt to amp up the protein content, try my strawberry banana smoothie or this 3-ingredient mango smoothie.

50 Fresh Tomato Recipes
https://ift.tt/3hPeWNJ
When I made our grocery list this week, one thing was clear: Jack and I were going to be eating a lot of tomato recipes. I needed cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and tomatoes on the vine. But at this time of year, I think that’s how it should be. As a rule, I don’t buy tomatoes out of season. They’re often picked while they’re still unripe, so they never become really flavorful. Instead, they’re bland, watery, and mushy. So when summer rolls around, I have just a few months to make every tomato salad, sandwich, pasta, and pizza I’ve imagined throughout the year. In short, I have fresh tomato recipes on repeat. I hope you’re also cooking with tomatoes like crazy right now, while they’re tangy, juicy, and sweet. In case you’re looking for some new tomato recipes, I’m sharing 50 of my favorites below. They include appetizers, side dishes, hearty mains, and even breakfasts! With all this variety, you’re bound to find something you love. Basic Tomato RecipesUse these basic tomato recipes as building blocks for pastas, pizzas, and more!

How to Make Carrot Baby Food (Carrot Puree)

How to make carrot baby food by cooking and blending carrots into a smooth and creamy puree. Carrot puree make a great stage 1 starter food for babies.
A couple weeks ago I shared all about introducing solids, my approach with Olivia and what foods we’d tried so far. Honestly, I had no intentions of sharing baby food recipes, but I’ve been having so much fun making it for Liv and everyone has seemed really interested so here we are.
For this first post, I thought I would share a simple recipe for an easy stage 1 food for babies 4 month and up, homemade carrot puree.
Like sweet potato and winter squash, carrot puree makes a great stage 1 food for babies because it can easily be pureed until thin. Carrots are also low on the allergy scale and easily digested by a tiny tummy.
Olivia’s first food was sweet potato puree and then avocado, but carrots came quickly after these two foods.
Homemade Baby Food
Let me start by saying that I know homemade baby food isn’t always an option and that’s okay. When we were on vacation I bought a couple baby food pouches for Olivia. She gobbled them up. That said, the majority of her food is homemade because I really enjoying cooking and making food for Liv has been really fun for me. I also like knowing that she’s eating fresh, nutrient-rich food that’s been made with love. That might sound corny, but it’s true.
When researching how to make homemade baby food I also researched how shelf-stable baby food is made. The shelf-life of jarred store-bought baby food is 2 years, which means you could be feeding your baby shelf-stable food that’s older than they are! Isn’t that wild to think about?!
And while I haven’t tasted store-bought carrot baby food, I imagine that this homemade carrot puree tastes way better!
Carrot Nutrition for Infants
Carrots are a such a nutritious first food! They are high in beta-carotene, a red-orange antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is known to boost eye health and support the immune system. Carrots also contain vitamin C, iron, calcium and fiber, which can be helpful for normal bowel movements in babies.
What Kind of Carrots to Use
I like to use fresh, organic whole carrots. Just wash the carrots well and peel them before chopping and cooking. I know it’s an extra step, but I do recommend peeling them to remove any dirt particles and/or pesticide residue. I also think removing the peel of the carrots makes them taste better. They taste super earthy to me when the peel is on. You can also use baby carrots, which makes the chopping process faster because they’ve already been peeled.
I personally like to buy organic foods for making homemade baby food, but also realize this isn’t an option for everyone so buy what you can afford.
How to Cook Carrots for Making Baby Food
In the recipe below I provide instructions for steaming the carrots because that’s how I make my carrot puree, but there are a few different cooking methods you can use:
- Steam – Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water, add carrots to a steamer basket and place inside of the pot. Bring the water to a low boil, cover with lid and steam carrots for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Boil -Add chopped carrots to a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until carrots are soft and fork tender.
- Roast – For roasting, you can chop the carrots into small pieces or roast them whole. Simply coat with a little oil and roast at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, or until carrots are soft, shriveled and fork tender.
How to Make Carrot Puree
- Peel and chop carrots.
- Cook the carrot chunks by steaming, boiling or roasting.
- Transfer cooked carrots to a blender or food processor. I’ve been loving my Vitamix for blending up baby food. It gets the purees super smooth!
- Blend until smooth, adding breast milk, formula or water to thin – the carrot puree will likely be a bit too thick for stage 1 eaters without adding some sort of liquid to thin the puree. I like using breast milk or formula for extra nutrients, but you can use water as well (water used for the steaming or boiling process works great).
- Let carrot puree cool and serve right away or portion into storage containers or ice cube trays for later use.
- Carrot puree an be stored in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
How to Store Carrot Baby Food
Once you have the carrot puree blended to the consistency you want, let the mixture cool and then transfer into BPA-free storage containers or into an ice cube tray. I’ve been using silicone ice cube trays and these 4 oz glass storage containers. The ice cube trays are great for younger babies who aren’t eating as much volume because you can defrost one cube at a time. While the 4 oz jars are great for older babies who are eating more than 1 oz at a time.
We had the ice cube trays on hand and I just recently bought the WeeSprout glass storage containers that are specifically for baby food. I like that they have measurements on the side of the jars and that they’re glass instead of plastic (no worry about BPA). They are also freezer, dish-washer and microwave-safe. Plus they come with colorful lids that you can write on with a dry eraser marker to note the item and date.
The fresh carrot puree will keep in the fridge for 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Don’t Forget to Label
I highly recommend labeling any baby food you make before storing! It’s amazing how quickly you forget what day you prepped the food once it goes into the fridge or freezer. #mombrain
How to Reheat or Thaw Frozen Carrot Puree
To thaw frozen pureed carrots, I recommend taking the jar out of the freezer the night before you want to use it so it can defrost in the fridge overnight. If you need to use it right away, you can thaw it using a water bath. Some people will recommend microwaving the frozen puree using the defrost seating but I prefer these two methods:
- Defrost in the refrigerator: Place frozen puree cubes into a jar or baby’s serving dish, cover, and place in the refrigerator overnight. If you stored the puree in a jar or storage container, simply place the jar the fridge.
- Water bath: Place frozen pureed cubes in a small container and set in another larger container with warm water. Replace the water as needed. Once defrosted, portion the food into individual bowls, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
Be sure to use any of the defrosted food within 48 hours of being defrosted and do not re-freeze.
Baby Food Combinations with Carrots
Once your baby is ready for stage 2 foods that are combinations, you can blend different fruits and veggies into the carrot puree. Here are some ideas of foods and spices that pair well with carrots.
- Green veggies – peas, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, spinach
- Orange veggies – butternut squash, sweet potatoes
- Fruits – apples, peaches, pears
- Carbs – brown rice, lentils, quinoa
- Protein – beef, chicken
- Herbs and Spices – cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cumin, paprika, nutmeg, curry, mint

Description
How to make carrot baby food by cooking and blending carrots into a smooth and creamy puree. Carrot puree make a great stage 1 starter food for babies.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh organic carrots
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup breast milk, formula or water, to thin
- spices or herbs of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Peel carrots and chop into chunks. Try to make the carrot chunks around the same size so they will finish cooking around the same time. The smaller the chunks, the faster they will cook.
- Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water, add carrots to a steamer basket (affiliate link) and place inside of the pot. Bring water to a low boil, cover with lid and steam carrots for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender. The cook time will depend on the size of your carrots.
- Once carrots are tender remove pot from heat and allow carrots to a cool a bit before transferring to a blender or food processor. Puree carrots in the blender or food processor, adding liquid (breast milk, formula or water) as needed to get the desired consistency. If using water, the water leftover from steaming or boiling the carrots works great.
- Transfer carrot puree into storage containers and store in the fridge for 3 days or freezer for 1 month.
Notes
- You can boil or roast the carrots instead of steaming. See my tips in the blog post above.

Greek Turkey Burgers

These Greek Turkey Burgers, mixed with Kalamata olives, feta, and spinach,combine all my favorite Greek flavors and can be served with or without the bun.
Greek Turkey Burgers
These Greek Turkey Burgers are so flavorful, and I love that they can be served two different ways. Serve them on a toasted whole wheat bun with butter lettuce, cucumber slices, thin red onion slices, sliced tomato, and a little Greek yogurt or as a main dish without the bread served with rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion on the side. For some other turkey burger recipes, try my Naked Greek Feta-Zucchini Turkey Burgers or Turkey Burgers with Zucchini.
I got my hands on the Fit Men Cook Meal Prep Cookbook (affil link) and couldn’t decide which recipe to make first! I’ve been following Kevin on Instagram for a long time, but never had his book. I’ve always been the biggest fan of his work and his positive energy so I knew I would love his book. I settled on this Greek turkey burger recipe, because it’s grilling season and I love turkey burgers! You can make this inside on skillet, outside on the grill or bake them in the oven. Serve them on a bun or turn them into rice bowls for meal prep. I also have a version of Greek Feta-Zucchini Turkey Burgers which are slightly different, they have zucchini in them rather than spinach and no olives.
Is a turkey burger healthier than a hamburger?
It depends! Turkey burgers can be healthier than hamburgers made with ground beef, but it all depends on the ground turkey’s fat content. Ground turkey can be pretty fatty if you don’t use lean meat. This burger recipe calls for 93% ground turkey, which means that 93% is lean, and only 7% contains fat. Lean ground turkey is an excellent substitute for ground beef if you’re watching your calories or red-meat consumption.
What is a Greek burger made of?
These Greek burgers are made with lean ground turkey seasoned with minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Kalamata olives and feta are added for some salty Greek flavors and chopped spinach for extra nutrients.
How long to cook turkey burgers
I cook these turkey burgers in an ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on one side and then a minute on the other side. Then I pop the skillet in the oven for 9-11 minutes at 420 degrees. You can also bake them on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes if you don’t have an ovenproof skillet. If you prefer to cook these turkey burgers on the grill, you can certainly do that. Regardless of how you cook the burgers, you want to make sure that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, so definitely use a meat thermometer to check.

These Greek Turkey Burgers, mixed with Kalamata olives, feta, and spinach,combine all my favorite Greek flavors and can be served with or without the bun.
- 1 ½ pounds 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, finely chopped
- 3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped and packed spinach
- Pinch each of sea salt and black pepper
- Olive oil spray
-
Preheat the oven to 420°F.
-
Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together thoroughly.
-
Scoop out a large fistful of meat, roll it into a ball, then flatten it to form a patty around 1 ½ inches thick. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 5 large patties of equal size.
-
Once the patties are formed, use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook.
-
Set a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. When the skillet is hot, add the patties.
-
Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are brown and seared, then flip the patties over.
-
Cook for an additional minute, then place the entire skillet in the oven to cook until the internal temperature is 165°F, 9 to 11 minutes.
-
You can also bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Enjoy these as a burger with a toasted whole wheat bun, butter lettuce, cucumber slices, thin red onion slices (optional), sliced tomato, and a little Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Or pair a patty with salad, rice, quinoa, or even roasted vegetables!
