Yogurt Banana Split

February 6, 2010 by mattantonino · 3 Comments 

This morning our kids woke up to a banana split with hot fudge for breakfast.  Needless to say, they are THRILLED we are doing food photography now. It was chocolatey, fruity and very tasty.

You’ll find that most of what we are doing now is healthy so even though these look like 500 calorie treats they are just 195!

Broccoli & Cheddar Frittata Muffins

February 1, 2010 by mattantonino · Leave a Comment 

This is a yummy family-friendly recipe for broccoli and cheddar frittatas in muffin shapes.

Our suggestion isn’t as nutritious but after eating our share of these we’d suggest adding a few slices of deli sliced ham and replacing the fat free cheddar with a low fat cheddar.  The fat free is sort of tasteless and the ham would add a bit more protein – worth the calories!

The original recipe for this is straight from one of our favorites: Biggest Loser Family Cookbook
