I decided this will be smoothie week. Not green smoothie week—just Smoothie Week. So everyday, I’m going to make up and post a new recipe. But I’m counting the Valentine’s Day smoothie twice (Sun and Mon), just because it was so good. Today’s smoothie is not as beautiful as I had hoped, but it tastes …
I got a smoothie recipe from Sarma at www.oneluckyduck.com a couple days ago—and I really wanted to try it for Valentine’s Day. Why? It’s pink, plus I wanted Joe to try it and I figured he wouldn’t say no if I acted like it was made specially for him. And it was, kinda. Anyway, I …
I wanted to make something yesterday, but I didn’t know what. Nothing food-wise sounded fun or good, so I looked at what I had and made something up. These cookies (the dough anyway) tastes really good, and they’re very simple. In the food processor, I added: 1/3 cup coconut creme (note: Artisana calls this coconut …
Today I am going to be busy and scheduled all day, so I wanted to have enough portable food with me to last until I get home waaaaaaay later. Although a salad would be nice, I have no fridge (except my car, I suppose!) to use during the day. I decided to go with smoothies—and …
I’ve done some research to find “healthy” cocktail ideas, and I keep coming back to the same source—Sarma Melngailis’ books: Raw Food Real World and Raw Living Food. At her restaurant in NYC, Pure Food and Wine, they serve raw food and drinks, with the exception of the sake in the cocktails. In one of …
This dessert is so good it’s not even funny. For some reason, I put it in the freezer, most likely because I thought I wasn’t going to eat all of it before it went bad….Wrong! It will keep for several days in the fridge, and for several weeks in the freezer. It’s probably more of …
I’m participating in the Dauntless Diva’s 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge. It’s not significantly different from what I’ve been doing, although it has altered my focus from primarily green juice to green smoothies. So far, I have mostly been consuming a very simple spinach-banana-water smoothie recipe. There isn’t a specific reason for this, except that it’s …
It’s No Shamrock Shake…..but it Will Stay on My Menu! Read More »
I love cereal. A lot. I try not to buy it because I have been known to eat an entire box throughout the course of a day–once I start, I just can’t stop. As a result, I am trying to find good alternatives to cereal that contain real healthy and satisfying ingredients. Today, this is …
I made a salad this morning for brunch—weird? Maybe. But I wanted it! I got the salad dressing recipe from Kimberly Snyder. It was light and had a great citrus taste, but not too tart—if you like the tart-sweet combo, this is a good one (you can add a little extra lime juice too if …
Did you ever have a Chia Pet? My bro-in-law (before he was my bro-in-law) gave one to me for Christmas one year. It was a weird concept—spread seed goo over a ceramic animal (not sure what kind of animal), and then let it sprout and grow. Result: pointless, weird-looking, primarily non-functional clutter–sort of a plant! …
