Blueberry and Peach Yogurt Cake

I really love to bake, but I've been trying to find healthier versions of desserts to bake each week. I have a sweet tooth the size of Montana and need to reign it in every once in a while. When I saw this recipe, I decided it looked like a fun way to mix things up for summer. It was tasty!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 stick butter, softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 peaches, sliced into wedges 6 oz blueberries a few sprinkles of powdered sugar
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a pie plate with cooking spray. 2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda.  3. In a separate large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and eggs until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, about 1 minute.  4. Add flour mixture to yogurt mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.   5. Pour cake batter into your pie plate and top with sliced peaches and blueberries.  6. Bake about 1 hour or until your cake is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  7. Let cake cool and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into slices and serve!
I think this cake is best served warm, so I like to warm it up on the microwave for about 20 seconds before serving. 

Enjoy!

26 Never Looked So Good

It's someone's birthday today! That handsome husband of mine turns the big 26, and I am so excited to celebrate him today and this weekend! I've mentioned before that we do "birth weeks" at our house, which is just a fun way to celebrate the birthday person all week instead of just on their day. I've felt sort of badly all week because there has just been so much going on. We moved in less than a week ago, so the days have been filled with work and the evenings have been filled with errands and Target runs. 
The house is finally starting to feel like home, and we have the TV plugged in just in time for Parker's birthday. Typically, he would capitalize on his birth week by making us watch as many Game of Thrones episodes as the day would allow. Since the TV was unplugged, I managed to escape that one, but I told him we can continue his birth week into next week so he gets that quality Game of Thrones time. To couples who have the exact same taste in TV shows, I applaud you. We are similar, but I am almost to my limit with Game of Thrones, and he thinks the Bachelor is just about the dumbest show there ever was. 
Anyway, that was a digression.
In all seriousness, I am so excited to celebrate this guy today. The Navy likes to take husbands away on important holidays, and it's inevitable that they are going to miss things, so getting to be with him on his birthday is a treat that I don't take for granted. 

So thankful that he was born 26 years ago today. I wouldn't want to go through life with anyone else!
