Gritty Banana Mango Corn Muffins
Yum! Hearty texture, not too sweet, not too banana-y. These could be served for breakfast, or in place of typical cornbread muffins at dinner time. Delicious with butter, of course! I used one cup fresh mango because I already had some on hand. For half the batch I tossed in 1/4 cup of cranberries and topped with sliced almonds. I loved the addition of almonds, but the cranberries made the flavors too confusing. I will be making this easy recipe again. ** Next time I will replace the couscous with quinoa so they'll be gluten free!

Homemade Plain Yogurt
My first attempt at homemade yogurt came out great! I used a large thermos as an incubator for the yogurt. It worked perfectly! My batch was ready in 5 hours. Added 1 tbsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp Splenda. My second batch turned out a little lumpy, and more sour because I had to leave it out all day while I was at work. The next day I strained it through cheese cloth and stirred until it was smooth. I wanted to make it vanilla flavored, but I was out of extract. I had a packet of sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, so....I stirred in 1/3 of of the packet, and.....it came out SO GOOD!!!!!

Cranberry Orange Wheat Scones
These scones have so much potential! This was my first time trying this recipe. I really liked the flavor, but I want to work on a better texture, as they were a bit dry.** **I changed from 4 stars to 2 because after a day these were like eating cardboard. Bummer.
