Pineapple Mango Green Smoothie
Yesterday was just too hot to cook! So I thought I’d make a smoothie. I’ve seen lots of healthy green smoothie recipes on the web and decided to try making my own. I was particularly inspired by some of the recipes I found at Green Smoothies Rule. The recipes I looked at had spinach in them—I’ve never…

Caprese Tart
If you like Caprese Salad or Margherita Pizza, you’ll want to try this tart! It has sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil in it–yum! This summer, I’ve been wanting to make some sort of a tomato tart and I came up with the idea of making a Caprese Tart! If tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella are so good…

Tomato Basil Avocado Soup
This cool, summer soup sounded good to me because it didn’t involve any cooking, and it has been so hot these past couple of days! This is a “raw food” recipe. You may have heard about all the health benefits there are to eating raw. I’ve read a little about it, although I’m no expert…

Jessica’s Crustless Spinach Quiche
One of my favorite breakfast dishes is quiche. When I make one, it’s usually on the weekend since I’m pressed for time on weekday mornings. One of the gals at work, Jessica, shared a quiche recipe with me that she likes to make. It’s really easy and has no crust, so it’s a little lower…

Red Plum Freezer Jam
I’ve never made freezer jam before (or any kind of jam for that matter). My friend Ann gave me some plum jam she had made with red plums from a tree in her backyard. She had so many plums, she had enough to give me a bunch to make my own plum jam, too!

Cranberry-Almond Oatmeal Bake
Last week, my friend Ann gave me a recipe for baked oatmeal to try. I fully intended to make the recipe exactly as it was, but as I looked it over I thought, What would it taste like if I added this instead of that, and this much instead of that much…and so on, until…

A Bushel-Filled Birthday Gift
I have a friend who has a birthday right around Memorial Day weekend. So this year, I decided to put together a gift with a red, white, and blue theme. Okay…it’s actually red, white, and teal—but that’s close enough! 🙂 I thought I’d tell you how I put this together in case you wanted to…
