Smoothies So Thick You Have to Eat Them with a Spoon
July 31, 2008
They’re my favorite kind. I’m not really into the drippy, runny ones. But if you are, that’s cool. I won’t judge you based on your smoothie lifestyle. Each to hir own, you know.
Vanilla Spice Fruit and Yogurt with Nuts
July 26, 2008
peaches, local blueberries, walnuts, vanilla, awesomeness...
It’s summer, and here in the South, it’s really hot. I wake up hungry, and I know I need to eat something with protein instead of some sugary cold cereal, but I don’t want heavy, warm, gooey omelet. *shudder* Luckily, I picked blueberries from plants at a horticulture lab on campus (Ask around! I bet someone you know knows where to find free blueberries or blackberries this summer!) and was inspired to make one of my favorite, simple, crazy-delicious breakfast-y snack foods.
Zucchini Soup: My Childhood Comfort Food
July 24, 2008
Yes!
When I’m down, I like to eat mac n’ cheese, Klondike bars, and chocolate chip cookies, but the coziest comfort food I can think of is warm, creamy soup. I love soup. So when I started feeling kind of down last week, I decided to make the soup that takes me way back to early childhood in my mom’s house: zucchini soup. I think the reason I loved this soup so much as a kid is that it had a really simple, savory flavor. And it went well with cheese. And I love cheese.
Anyway, I called my mom to get the recipe, and she wasn’t near her phone. Seeing as I needed comfort food ASAP, I decided to go for it on my own, and ended up with a successful reinvention of one of my favorite soups.
