Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy Mother’s Day! I was just watching Netflix Ted Talks again. One talk was heralding how great white bread is due to the fact that it represents our industrialization of food. Without that industrialization, we couldn’t live on 2% of farming familites or feed ourselves pasta from Italy. Louise Fresco points not to the American …
Book: I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine’s Day!!! I forgot to post the sugar cookies I made for the Super Bowl last week, so here they are! I found a science project book at the library – it was published in 2000 that states that the public is now moving towards margarine and away …
We are still in peak holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t prep for the rest of the day’s nutrition before the cookies and candy come. This week – in addition to a Minecraft birthday party celebration (a future blog post)- I have been researching smoothies and how to get maximum nutrition into …
After years of making green smoothies, Maddox asks: “Mom, can you make a smoothie that isn’t green, please?” Oh, okay fine. Here is a super-simple smoothie recipe that definitely brought a little of the “tropics” to our below freezing weather. Feel free to add anything you like! The great thing about smoothies is that they …
Book Update: Bilbo Baggins just found “the ring” and Gollum missed capturing him. That is the part I’m at in “The Hobbit” which I think may be movie #1. I have only seen the 2nd movie. Recipe Update: I had a bag of frozen strawberries in the refrigerator from Trader Joe’s, and the kids LOVE …
Recipe: Back when I was little, Orange Julius was a favorite treat. Though I don’t really care for it nowadays… which is strange. Maybe it is the foam. But this version doesn’t have foam! I love it. It is fresh and the kids loved it, too. Orange Julius Copycat servings: 2 8 and 1/2 …
We’re trying out some new fall recipes. I had more time on my hands in the morning while the boys went camping and my little girl actually slept until 8am. After Oktoberfest in the morning and swimming in the afternoon, I would think she would be tired! The apple cider donuts did not work out …
First off here are the food fails this week: 1. Apple pie smoothie. I had to force it down. It could be the apple peel, or the fact there is no crust… I don’t know. Was not very tasty! 2. Lemon Zucchini Bread. This recipe is plastered all over Pinterest and looks great. But it …
My new favorite smoothie! I have been making more smoothies since little Juliana is not too keen on a lot of proteins. She does love milk though. This strawberry cheesecake smoothie is from Cupcakes and Kale Chips. Usually I love my green smoothie. I have tried others like blueberry smoothies and even the green monster. …
I have looked a long time at smoothie recipes and after watching the Vitamix man – very interested in GREEN smoothies. Who else wouldn’t want to eat something incredibly healthy and not even realize it is spinach they are eating? I love this recipe. I have made with different ingredients in different quantities and if …
