Lemon Frozen Yogurt

Desserts

For FHE on Monday night, I decided to try a different variation on our favorite homemade frozen yogurt recipe.

Delicious, and healthier than the recipe I’ve been using, this  batch contained no additional sugar.

Here’s what I threw together.

Lemon Frozen Yogurt 2 containers (32 ounces each) lemon yogurt 2 cups half and half juice of 2 lemons, or about 6 Tb. lemon juice Combine ingredients well in a mixing bowl and pour into ice cream maker.  Process according to manufacturer’s instructions.  Scoop frozen yogurt into separate container and freeze.

My family loved this yogurt, and none of them noticed that I didn’t add any sugar.  It was tart, but not sour, and very refreshing.  This yogurt would also be delicious with fresh berries of any kind, or if you wanted to sweeten it up you could serve it with graham cracker crumbs or cookies.  We just enjoyed it plain.

I’m thinking that my future plan is to try all of our favorite frozen yogurt flavors without adding any sugar.   If this recipe, the most tart of them all, tasted fine then I’m sure the others will too!  I’m happy to be able to make it just a bit healthier.  I hope you’ll try it sometime!

Marabella by Henry Glass Fabrics

Quilting and Sewing

There’s a cute little line of fabrics that I’m liking right now:

Marabella fabric
The line is Marabella.  It’s designed by Amy Hamberlin of Kati Cupcake Designs, for Henry Glass Fabrics.  It also comes in a purple colorway.  You can see all of the swatches here .

The purple colorway is very cute.  I’m just not drawn to purple.  I remember that for a time it was my favorite color as a little girl, so perhaps I’m bound to love it again someday.  For now, though, purple is rarely my color of choice.  It’s been that way for years.

This line doesn’t have as many different prints or colorways as many other lines do, but what I’ve discovered is that a lot of these prints actually look really good with some of the Nicey Jane line by Heather Bailey (think hop dot, church flowers, slim dandy, and pocketbook patterns).  The brighter pinks look great with the Whimsy line by Pillow & Maxfield (pink colorway) which I fell in love with last summer.  For me, these are great fabrics to throw in the mix and to help me pull together another project with scraps from other lines.

This pink polka dot with whimsical tulips is one of my favorite prints in the line.

My other favorite is the blue with paisley prints.

I’ve come to the realization that my choice in fabric is very predictable.  I like a lot of light colors in very bright, fresh colors.  I’m particularly drawn to blues, greens and pinks.   Something about them just makes me happy.  Oh well, I guess we’ll just keep the happiness coming!
