Don’t let the ‘cream’ in the name scare you away! This smoothie doesn’t have cream or sugar added, but it’s creamy and sweet enough to be called strawberries n’ cream! Earlier this week I posted the homemade healthy granola, and mentioned I use oats in my smoothies but realized I haven’t posted a smoothie that [...]
Today is the last day of school for many kids in the Atlanta area, so let’s start summer off with watermelon lemonade! Since it has been warming up here I’ve been using my juicer more to make lots of yummy juices for us to enjoy in the morning or late afternoon. This will also [...]
After reading Vicky’s post the other day about the Best Bread it got me thinking about other dishes that have bread as the main ingredient. What other than French Toast? Kids love to dip anything but what is commercially prepared is never a good option. Here is an easy recipe that you can make today [...]
I always have an abundance of oats in our house. I use oats for oatmeal, baking, and smoothies, but I have never tried making our own granola. Last week we were at Whole Foods and they were sampling Ruby’s Gold Golden Granola. I wasn’t sure what the girl’s would think of it since we don’t [...]

We all need some go-to, healthy, store bought snacks to rely on. So here is a brand for you to remember, Pure Organic bars. I’ve had almost every flavor of these, and they are all delicious!

I posted a Chocolate Banana PB smoothie a while back but I’ve been using different ingredients lately so I wanted to share! It is important to use a frozen banana in this smoothie. It really helps thicken the smoothie so it’s similar to a milkshake. I’ve reduced the amount of banana to half of a [...]
