Simple, delicious recipes
With the warm weather steadily increasing, so has my desire to blend anything and everything. My husband prefers the green smoothies but I’m all over the fruit versions too!
I’ve been a blending machine lately! Every night I prep the green smoothie for morning and usually whip a strawberry-banana smoothie up for the kids. Emily has really started to take an interest in what goes in the blender so I’ll be recruiting her full time for the morning shift….
A coffee creamer inspired by my favorite chocolate bar. Another reason to get up in the morning! 
I’m at least a year late to the homemade coffee cream party. Maybe three. Nonetheless I’ve made it. Who knew it was so easy? Everyone you say? Fair enough. I made this out of sheer desperation when I saw an actual bottle of Almond Joy cream on Instagram after posting my cookies awhile back.
I contacted the company asking when and how I could get my hands on it. Remember, I live in Canada – The home of no such product. The answer has come back in the form of crickets. How can they just leave me hanging like this?!…
I have been relying on frozen fruit for the last 6 months. Living just off the Alaska Highway usually doesn’t scream fresh, organic or farm to table. Especially since there’s still snow on the ground. Hello, it’s the end of April. Can we be done already?
The good thing about frozen fruit is it’s better than ever. Most times in recipes I can’t even tell the difference. Flash freezing – we love you!…
To be clear, there is nothing guilt worthy about this green smoothie, only the actions of the weekend prior to consuming it. Birthdays are best known here for going a tad overboard. I won’t get into the details but it wasn’t pretty. Pants are tight. I’ll leave it at that.
On to greener pastures this week! I announced on Instagram my latest splurge was a Vitamix so I’ll be putting it to good use this week. We ventured to the grocery store yesterday and stocked up on all things healthy. Kale, Spinach, frozen fruit, chia seeds. You get the idea – outer most sections of the store….
