easy homemade frozen yougurt

Homemade Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

Once upon a time there were only a few frozen yogurt stores out there in the world. One of them was called Golden Spoon. On a beautiful sunny day in California we passed by a Golden Spoon store, which I knew nothing about, and I wondered how a frozen yogurt would taste like. We were staying at my mother-in-law's home, spending the summer holidays. Back then we lived in Brazil.

I bet you can guess what's coming next. Soon enough my whole family, mother-in-law included, decided to check out the Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. I don't know if this was our worst mistake or the best experience of our lives. Having a Golden Spoon frozen yogurt (especially the peanut butter flavor) for the first time, is an experience that will overwhelm your senses and you'll be hooked forever.

Ah! Tofu! Love it or hate it. Well, you don't have to hate it. You will learn to love tofu after trying this simple sandwich recipe. But let me start from the beginning.

Tofu was the most mysterious thing for me a few years ago. I kinda ignored its existence for a long time until my son said he loved tofu. I was flabbergasted, (don't you love this word?). This was at the beginning of this year, in January.

Summer time brings us delicious and succulent yellow squash. There are so many great ways to make squash but I love this healthy recipe. The squash is baked with onions, rosemary and green onions but guess which is the ingredient that makes it 'super'? Parmesan of course.

how to freeze strawberries

Question from Sharon, from Seattle, Washington.
- Mom Amelia, how can I freeze strawberries?

There are no excuses for letting strawberries go bad. Actually strawberries are so delicious that I doubt anyone would let them go bad. But maybe you went to your local U-pick berries or hit a phenomenal sale at your local farmer's market, and got a TON of strawberries, and you don't have a magic wand or you're not in the mood to turn them all into jam or something. 
Then you need to FREEZE THEM. It's actually very simple to freeze strawberries.

Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry

You want to know how to make a Stir Fry? A Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry? Mom Amelia will teach you.

Stir Fry is a traditional way of cooking Asian food that means frying in hot oil while tossing them around in a wok. I love stir frying! I move those veggies in the wok very seriously pretending I'm way more skilled than I really am. There are actually different stir fry techniques, but they are beyond my understanding.
