Banana Cream Pie Green Smoothie
This morning I woke up with a craving for banana cream pie. I have no idea why. Maybe the very ripe bananas were calling to me from across the apartment. Banana cream pie was never my favorite dessert but my Great-Grandma could whip up a fantastic one with the best homemade crust around. This dessert …
Banana Mango Kale Smoothie and the Late Night Kale Haul
Today’s smoothie is probably one of the ‘go-to’-est smoothies around, a banana mango kale smoothie. The perfect trifecta of favorite fruits and greens. It wasn’t long after I tried green smoothies with spinach that I next moved onto kale. In fact, the first time I bought or tried kale in my life wasn’t until the last …
Blueberry Maqui Madness Smoothie
I was inspired to make today’s blueberry maqui madness smoothie after a recent trip to Portland’s Kiva Tea Bar and Spa.

Pumpkin Spice Banana Nectarine Smoothie
Oh yes, we continue that mosey into fall weather and fall-like foods today. Who else is craving apple cider and feeling the need to don slippers and skull blankets? I jumped into those fall feelings by making a green smoothie that contained the end of summer harvests (nectarines), leftover pumpkin, and a hefty dose of …
Banana ‘Reese’s’ Bites
These can be as cute or as ugly as you have the patience for. Many of mine turned out ‘ugly’, but who cares really? It’s not like you’re going to stare at it all day, it’s about to go in your mouth for a wild ride. The heart in the background happened spontaneously from spooning …
Banana Yogurt Pancakes
These are turning out quite tasty indeed. Takes a bite. Types. Takes a bite. Repeat. My goal was to get a thinner pancake. I’m not a huge pancake person but every once in awhile I crave a good pancake. It seems though, that what I consider a ‘perfect’ pancake is not what most of the …
