Fruit Smoothie


My kids love to have a smoothie when they come home from school. I love it as well for I add fresh baby spinach for extra vitamins and iron and ground flax seed for the omega 3's. I add yogurt for calcium, frozen fruit and orange juice. This smoothie has no sugar, honey, etc. It is only sweetened with the fruit I add. Get creative and make up your own recipe, but here is what I like to do! Enjoy.

Fruit Smoothie

2 cups orange juice
1 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
1-2 bananas
2 cups frozen fruit of your choice (I like the pineapple mango blend at Sam's Club)
1 cup yogurt (any flavor you have)

Add all the ingredients, blend and enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
