Breakfast Berry Cake and Yogurt

I first made this Breakfast Berry Cake several years ago when I reviewed the Two-Step Diabetes Cookbook by Nancy S. Hughes. The recipes in this book are simple, quick, flavorful and healthy, along with being diabetic-friendly. And this Breakfast Berry Cake looked really good, so that’s what I chose to make! It seemed like a good time to repost this recipe, because it’s a great breakfast cake for the spring and summer, with lots of mixed berries in it!

These Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Wraps make a tasty and easy meal on a warm day—perfect in the spring and summer seasons!

Veggie Crescent Pizza

Everyone loves pizza, right? This “pizza” is a little different because it’s made with refrigerated crescent rolls for the crust. And instead of a tomato-based pizza sauce, this has a cool and creamy Ranch-flavored filling. It’s a cold-style pizza (the crust is the only thing that’s baked), with toppings of fresh veggies and cheddar cheese that go over the filling, making this a great appetizer or snack for the warm weather seasons!
