Who doesn’t love cookies? Especially for breakfast! Though I wouldn’t recommend it every day, this smoothie is healthy enough to eat occasionally for breakfast, and decadent enough for a snack or a dessert any time! I created this one for my friends at CenterCutCook.com. You can get the recipe by clicking here. Enjoy!
Breakfasts
Banana Cream Pie Smoothie
Some of my best childhood food memories were of fluffy banana cream pies and Southern-style banana pudding. I especially loved the one that the Black Eyed Pea restaurant served. I used to work there as a teenager and lived for those large luscious helpings of fresh bananas, vanilla wafers, whipped cream and pudding! This smoothie…
Peaches N Cream Smoothie
I love peach season. They can be a little tricky to grow here in Illinois. Sometimes the winters are just too hard on the trees, or the blossoms get frosted in spring. But oh, when things are just right, so are they. This year seems to be a good year for peaches. None of my…
Pistachio Dream Smoothie
I love green smoothies, and this one is really special. I’ve always loved those Watergate salads you see at picnics and potlucks. Those fluffy, mint-colored pistachio pudding salads were full of wonderfully bad things for you. I wanted to make a healthier smoothie version, and came up with a green smoothie that’s actually good for…
Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie
Too busy to make strawberry shortcake? Make strawberry shortcake smoothies! This quick, creamy smoothie is a healthy way to start off your day, even if you’re on the run. And yet it’s indulgent enough for dessert or a light snack. I created this special smoothie for my friends over at Center Cut Cook.com. You can…
Chocolate Covered Cherry Smoothie
Fresh cherries, frozen bananas and dab of chocolate make these smoothies delicious while still being healthy! You can use whatever milk (or yogurt) you like. Almond milk would be delicous, but you could also do coconut or soy. I used whole milk, and it was wonderful! And I can’t think of a better way to celebrate!…
Cherries Jubilee Smoothie
Yes, I know. I make a lot of smoothies. I’m kind of obsessed with them. Actually, I’m kind of obsessed with Dairy Queen Blizzards, and my homemade smoothies keep my wallet and my waist much safer! I love drinking them for a quick breakfast or a snack on the run. Often I’ll make a…
Apple Noodle Parfaits
I discovered Ali’s wonderful blog, Inspiralized , a few months ago and fell in love with spiralizers. They really make cooking fun and healthy, and the possibilities are endless! My family especially loves apple noodles, because you can make them for breakfast, snacks or dessert in so many wonderful ways.
Homemade Breakfast Pizza
At my last job, we had a “Breakfast Club” where everyone would take turns bringing in breakfast on Fridays. This was fun, because everyone had different favorites and brought in whatever they liked. Some did homemade meals, others brought in bagels from Panera or Krispy Kreme doughnuts or even Bob Evans fare. It was something…
Apple Noodles
Apple noodles. They’re the bomb in my family. Crunchy, sweet, delicious and CHEAP! We discovered the magic of spiralizers a few months ago. The goal was to get more veggies into our diets, but surprisingly, it’s the fruit that we’re really loving! Especially apples, since they keep so long, are readily available and taste great…
