  • Recipe: Hot Pink Smoothie

    Hot Pink Smoothie

    Oh, this was a fun smoothie to make for the girls!  It came out hot pink, can you guess what is in it…….?  And no it isn’t red food coloring.  I had a couple extra beets to use up so I put one of the beets in a smoothie and it turned a beautiful hot pink.  The girls gave it a two thumbs up for taste and color, probably one of the most unique ones I made so far.  It is quick and easy to make too!

    Hot Pink Smoothie:

    • 2 cups Milk
    • 1/2 cup Vanilla Yogurt
    • 1 Beet (fresh or frozen)
    • Few cubes of Ice

    If you are looking for a healthy and pretty smoothie this is a great one to try.  It does have a mild beet taste to it.  I was thrilled the girls loved it!

  • Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals

    Love notes for the kids at school

    One of the best parts about sending the kids to school with a lunch is you can include some special goodies or notes for them as a surprise.  After using the sandwich containers a few times I discovered something really neat…..they are perfect for “love” notes.  If you have smooth sandwich containers that you send to school with your kids or to work with your husband grab a dry erase marker and write a quick note for them.  I will often write a little note for them and erase it before putting it in the dishwasher at the end of the day.  I keep the marker on the refrigerator so I can get it easily while I am packing lunches for the family.  This takes only a couple minutes and means a lot to your family.  A short and sweet note can be the extra boost of love and encouragement they need throughout the day.

  • Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals

    School Lunch Box Meal

    The girls have a lot of fun helping put together their lunches for school.  Often they will pick out their favorite drink, containers, baggies and other goodies.  They enjoy eating homemade applesauce, jello, and more items that we make together.  The best part about making the fruits, cookies, and other food from scratch at home is you know exactly what goes into it.  You can make it with whole wheat, no sugar as well as adding other healthy ingredients.  Each meal the girls get a protein, fruit, vegetable, diary, drink and snack.  Everyday is a little different to add more variety to their lunches.

    Lunch Box Meal:

    • Peanut Butter & Homemade Strawberry Jam Sandwich
    • Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce
    • Peach or Vanilla Yogurt
    • Lemon or Raspberry Jello
    • Broccoli, Cabbage, & Carrots “Straws” (Broccoli Coleslaw Mix that the girls have renamed broccoli straws)
    • Chocolate Milk
    • BBQ Chips
    • Mint Solo Granola Bar
    • Homemade Cookies

    The rainbow sandwich container, candy corn baggie and princess baggie add a little more excitement to the lunch.

     

  • Recipe: Special Strawberry Smoothie

    Special strawberry smoothie with cool whip & sprinkles

    Every once in awhile in celebration of our Saturday mornings together occasionally we do something extra special like add a little cool whip and sprinkles to our smoothie or waffles!  With Spring in the air and the weather getting warmer I want to share a smoothie recipe.  In case you haven’t already notice we love smoothies in our household!  If the girls are home and I start up the blender they are immediately in the kitchen asking for a smoothie.  Also, since one of our girls needs a little extra protein in her diet and one of the best ways to get her to drink a pack of Carnation instant drink mix is to add a touch into a smoothie (she can’t tell the difference and drinks all of it).

    Special Strawberry Smoothie:

    • 5 frozen Strawberries
    • 10 frozen Grapes
    • 1/2 Banana
    • 1/2 cup Vanilla Yogurt
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • Cool Whip
    • Sprinkles

    Put the strawberries, grapes, yogurt, and milk in the blender and mix until smooth.  Pour into a cup and top with cool whip and sprinkles! Enjoy! 🙂
