I’ve gotten into the habit of drinking a green smoothie first thing in the morning 5-6 days/week, and here’s the recipe for the one I typically have, a version of the popular glowing green smoothie. To save time and help keep me on track with green-smoothie-drinking, I make and freeze a couple weeks’ worth […]
Hub and I had the best creamy smoothies at The Umstead a couple years ago, and I lucked up on making a surprisingly similar one while I was experimenting with smoothie recipes this past weekend. Remember that scene in The Best Man when Robin (a caterer, I think) was all excited […]
When I first started trying to eat more healthily, I would buy tons of fresh fruits and veggies, and stash them in the fridge. Then, a week or two later, I would find myself throwing out all the mushy, moldy, overripe, and uneaten produce I’d spent good money on the […]
What’s not to love about smoothies? When made with quality ingredients and without tons of extra sugars, juices, and empty calories, they’re the perfect portable, quick, easy, painless, and above all yummy fruit and veggie delivery systems. Some mornings are crazy hectic though – I don’t always have time to […]
I drink lots of homemade smoothies, usually about 2/day. Some of my reasons are health-based, i.e. painlessly increasing my whole fruit/veggie intake. Some are waste-conscious, i.e. using up produce that might otherwise go bad waiting for me to eat it all. Others are borderline trifling: Quick and easy: Just toss […]
This is one of those yummy, quick, easy, last-minute types of side dishes that always seem to come in handy. When I asked hub what he wanted me to make for dinner on his birthday, he thought for 2 seconds, then said, “Chicken phillies!” I added these roasted veggies as […]
Salmon, Spinach, and Parmesan Omelette In my book, these two omelettes – each made with 1 egg + 1 egg white – have all the makings of great go-to meals: Yummy – Always #1… no matter how good-for-me something is, it’s hard to actually eat it if it’s not tasty. […]
I had the best roasted cauliflower soup at JCT Kitchen, so when I had some leftovers after making this dish, I knew what I had to do 🙂 Ingredients: serves 4 2 cups roasted cauliflower 1 cup chicken (or vegetable) stock 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup […]
Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa cookbooks are usually my go-to when I’m looking for something new to add to the dinner rotation. What drew me to this recipe, which is an slight adaptation from Barefoot Contessa at Home, is Garten’s mention that roasting cauliflower “makes it sweeter and gets rid of […]
This sweet smoothie – along with THIS ONE – is especially great for those who want to sneak in some greens increase their green veggie intake without involving the actual taste of green veggies, which is masked by very ripe fruit. Blend together the following: 1/4 cup water 1 cup […]
