Tips for Enjoying Smoothie Bowls Use really ripe bananas to increase the natural sweetness. Bonus points: break ripe bananas into smaller chunks and freeze them. Because… … [Read more...]
Very Berry Parfait Smoothie Bowl
We love smoothies around here and recently, we've switched to eating more smoothie bowls...and here's why. We have 2 boys who take "powder supplements" for various reasons, including Charlie who recently gave himself "kissing bone bruises" in his left knee.

Avocado Toast
I think I eat an avocado every day. In some form or another. I've been known to drown myself in a bowl of guacamole, and I love avocado with just lemon juice and salt. (In fact, I had one like that with lunch today...just mash it right in the skin and scoop it out!) I like to mix it up and add to sandwiches, salad and toast too. This could totally be breakfast, lunch … [Read more...]

Shamrock Sandwich
I've got another simple and easy St. Patrick's Day snack for you!! But first, I have to tell you that growing up, I always thought that St. Patrick's Day was "my holiday." It was mine because in 2nd grade, one of the teachers at my school decorated her door with all kinds of fun green shamrocks and words like "Luck" (easy for a second grader to read!) She also included … [Read more...]
