Healthy Banana Chocolate Shake
I love having this for breakfast, and estimate it is under 200 calories.
Makes 2 servings.
Blend following ingredients:
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 cup milk
1/2 container (small) vanilla Greek yogurt
2 bananas (cut up and frozen)
You can also add peanut or almond butter but I would rather avoid the calories since the yogurt has protein.
Make sure you peel and cut the bananas beforehand, or you'll have a mess/war on your hands :)

Blue Cheese Pecan Spaghetti Squash
I was craving blue cheese and tried an interesting combination last night that received good reviews from my test subjects.
1/2 and de-seed spaghetti squash. Grill for 20-30 minutes until soft. Fork out squash. Top with blue cheese crumbles, bacon pieces, pecan pieces and enjoy!

Mini Bite Size Dulce de Leche Cheesecakes
For a family cookout we were having a Mexican theme. I wanted to do something with dulce de leche and decided on mini cheesecakes.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Crust:
Graham crack crust
Put a thin layer of the crust into the bottom of a small or mini muffin pan. Bake them for about 5 minutes and remove from oven.
Filling:
Combine the following: 8oz cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 can dulce de leche, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Fill the muffin cups with the filling.
Bake these in a water bath for anywhere from 20-40 minutes depending on size. A knife should come out clean.
Let them cool completely (I threw mine in the freezer for 20 min)
To remove, I'd run a knife around the edge and try to pop them out if possible. If they don't come out, try a spoon around the edge to scoop them out or buy mini muffin cups.
Top with remaining dulce de leche.
