Super Smoothies

by Rhiana on January 29, 2012

in Quick Cuisine

We recently did a 3-day Raw Food diet (not a lose-weight diet, just to change things up and try to cleanse). One of the things we LOVED from it was the first day’s smoothie – a peanut butter-banana smoothie. While I won’t recommend this particular raw diet (we actually gained weight on it), we really enjoyed several of the recipes and plan to use some of them in the future. As usual, I ended up changing the smoothie recipe a bit to suit our taste. Yesterday morning, I decided to try something new – which turned out to be a huge hit! So, I thought I would share these two smoothie recipes with you. Enjoy!

GF Carrot Muffins from Juice Pulp

by Rhiana on January 28, 2012

in Quick Cuisine

I recently bought a juicer and was so excited to get juicing! When I went to empty the pulp bin, I realized how much was being wasted! Couldn’t I use that for …. well, something? Thought it would be good to start with something easy – carrot pulp into carrot muffins. I found a few recipes – one that used pulp but sounded disgusting and most that were GF but sounded disgusting –  so I compiled bits and pieces, my pulp, and came up with what turned out to be a HUGE hit with my kids (who devoured ALL of them in just a couple short days).

Last night I grilled a flank steak to serve over salad. I was in an Asian-mood, but could not find a recipe that I really liked for a good salad dressing. I made this one up and it turned out delicious! (Use the Cuisinart I mentioned here to make it really easy!) Note: I usually [...]

Easy “Yummy Chocolate Cookies”

December 28, 2009 Quick Cuisine

The kiddo had asked for Peppermint Ice Cream last week, which I was happy to oblige. But I felt that the minty flavor needed a little chocolate to go with it … doesn’t everything taste better with a little chocolate? So, I whipped up these easy cookies, thanks to my trusty epicurious app on my iPhone (you can find the recipe here).

Easy Lasagna

December 21, 2009 Quick Cuisine

I have a thing against ricotta. It hasn’t ever really done anything to me, well except make me gag. It’s a texture issue. But I love lasagna. So replacing the ricotta with cottage cheese is the perfect solution! This is super-easy to make and is actually great leftover. I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do!

Apple-Pickin’ Pork

November 29, 2009 Quick Cuisine

I was so sick of all the Thanksgiving leftovers last night, so I was glad that I had a pork tenderloin in the freezer. The oldest and I were starting up a batch of applesauce when it was time to start cooking dinner. While she finished peeling apples, I took 2 and made this recipe up. It turned out to be a hit served with wild rice and a mix of fresh, organic veggies.

The Farmers Market the other day had some wonderful assortments of organic nuts and dried fruits. The bundles weren’t big enough for more than a couple servings, so a trail mix was in order …
