Still on a major smoothie binge! Having fun trying to come up with new flavors. Kiddo and I really like ‘Jayden’s Smoothie‘, but lately I have another favorite as well. While growing up we had ice creams called ‘Sinasplit‘. Not sure if they still sell them, but basically it was a creamy vanilla ice stick covered in orange flavored water ice. Water ice is just a layer of water-based, non-dairy and…
It’s snowing and it’s so cold here. Now snow can be romantic, I know, and it probably would be if I’d spend the weekend in some luxurious cottage in St. Moritz, completely snowed-in with George Clooney. But no, not me, in stead I caught my little man’s cold and am sniffling, wheezing and coughing my way through the days. Really romantic, huh? Hearty chicken soup, there’s just no better cure for a cold. Now if you’re a food snob,…
I like sweet potatoes, I really do, just not as a stand alone vegetable. As long as they’re inside a sweet potato pie (passing up a piece of that would be too much for my crazy lack of willpower), or when they’re part of something such as my rustic roasted vegetables, I like them a lot. Otherwise they’re simply too sweet for me. I’m really a savory kinda girl. But…
I had so much fun when I made this recipe for the first time. Probably the sneakiness behind it all. It’s sad though, having to stoop to sneaking vegetables into your kid’s diet! I think I mentioned my munchkin going through a crazy pizza phase lately? He used to be a great eater. The kid would eat anything you’d dangle in front of him, but lately he’ll only jump up…
Here’s a simple, completely unprepared, spontaneous and slightly odd recipe. Spur of the moment thing, so bear with me. I had quite a bit of leftover mashed potatoes from yesterday’s winter stew and a little extra time on my hands today. The last time I turned them into potato crepes -which is a pretty good way to use them- but I wanted to do something really different this time. Especially for all you Americans…
It’s Sunday, just got back from a long walk in the park before the bad weather is supposed to set in. I have plenty of free time on my hands, lots of beef in the freezer, stocked up on vegetables, radio tuned in to the best Motown, northern soul music and my munchkin is napping. What more could a girl ask for? It’s stew time! I love beef, I love…
