Chocolate Cherry “Green” Smoothie

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Today’s smoothie is cherry-chocolatey-oh-so-good! The rich color of the cherries combined with the deep color from the cocoa powder disguises any greens that are added. Tip: for a really quick smoothie preparation place all prepped smoothie ingredients (minus liquid and avocado) in a freezer safe container. Take out of the freezer a few minutes before … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter Mocha “Green” Smoothie

Today’s simple recipe is a green smoothie that’s, well, not quite so green (which may be nice for those who are new to green smoothies or have an aversion to drinking something green). This healthy, delicious, and filling smoothie is great because it’s not only packed with protein from the peanut butter, but contributes to … Continue reading →

One of my favorite Christmas presents of all time was one that I received a couple of years ago…an electric pressure cooker.  I use it all-of-the-time, no joke.

One of the things I love about summer are all of the fresh vegetables that we are able to grow, pick, and then eat up! Our zucchini plants look excellent this year and we’ve been chowin’ down on everything from grilled zucchini, stir-fried zucchini, sautéed zucchini, to zucchini bread. My family loves zucchini bread, but … Continue reading →

Not too long ago I posted a recipe for Whole Wheat Pumpkin Oat Muffins. They were good, but had a lighter and chewier texture. What I was in the mood for the other day was a pumpkin muffin that had more of a cake-like crumb and consistency. I played around a bit and came up … Continue reading →

I always remember what a special treat it was to have pumpkin bread when I was a kid, and I still love it to this day! Those memories, and my longing to continue with my pumpkin-baking-spree, prompted me to open up my “family cookbook” that one of my sisters made for the rest of us … Continue reading →

Today’s post is an addition to the Fall series that I am doing on using pumpkin. It seems like the everyone goes crazy for pumpkin when the air starts to cool and the leaves start to turn, and for some reason I am no exception. The oven has been turned off pretty much all summer, … Continue reading →
