Giveaways Feb. 20-24th, 2012!If you're here from Pinterest, Welcome! I hope you'll take a look around and follow along! Thanks for stopping by! The inspiration for this came via pinterest, my newest obsession. I love smoothies, but with them going for $5+ a pop, it's not something I will allow myself to buy often. Here are my ingredients ready for prep. I bought pre-frozen strawberries and blueberries because it was a better deal than buying fresh and freezing myself. I chose weight watchers vanilla yogurt because, again, it was the best deal. First I measured 1tbsp scoops of yogurt into a mini muffin tin. Next I got to chopping my fresh fruit! And then arranged them on a silpat mat and popped it in my freezer! A few hours later when everything was frozen, I laid everything out to prepare to bag my individual "smoothie mixes". I used just short of a cup and half of fruit for each bag and 3 yogurt cubes. After they are all bagged up, pop them in the freezer! Lacey-1 Smoothie King-0

Magic Sauce Recipe I call this the magic sauce recipe. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. Let's just start by putting one thing out there. It's as versatile as a black dress. - More Herb Recipes - - More Paprika Recipes - - More Quick Recipes - 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 2 teaspoons sweet paprika 2 medium cloves of garlic, smashed into a paste 1 well-crumbled bay leaf pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon + fine grain sea salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot.

Carolina Charm: Sassy Water Looking for a way to perk up those 8 glasses of water that you should be drinking every day? Look no further…I present to you Sassy Water!

The Best Broccoli of Your Life You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.” Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made broccoli for dinner? Broccoli and sweet potatoes?” Then he did bite in and his eyes lit up. So what did I do to the broccoli to make it taste so good? I can’t take any credit. I’m going to have a hard time this week not posting all of the recipes from her new book, Back To Basics. Specifically, she loves roasting vegetables at a high temperature until they caramelize. Normally, broccoli gets squishy when you cook it. Seriously, this recipe is so easy I can recite it without looking at the book. You preheat the oven to 425. Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Now, it’s easy. Related Posts: Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli Save Save

Homemade Strawberry Lemonade En Español This is my easy and quick homemade strawberry lemonade recipe, it is made in the blender using lemons (skin and all), strawberries and honey. You can easily replace lemons with limes for strawberry limeade. As I mentioned in the original recipe for limonada, this is the quickest way – and most efficient since you only use a couple of lemons – to make lemonade, however since you are blending entire lemons or limes, it does have a stronger taste than lemonade or limeade made by squeezing the citrus. This strawberry lemonade can also easily be turned into a refreshing summer cocktail, just add your choice of alcohol. Easy and quick homemade strawberry lemonade recipe, made in the blender using lemons, strawberries and honey. Ingredients 1 ¼ lb strawberries, washed & cut in halves, about 4 cups 2 lemons, washed and quartered (use limes to make strawberry limeade) ~ ½- ¾ cup honey or sugar to taste, adjust based on your preference and sweetness of strawberries 6 cups of water Ice

Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries These fries ROCK plain and simple. Funny how one would still call them "fries" when really they are not "fried" in anything. Nope, these fries are too sophisticated for greasy oil, and much like a skinny swim suit model they prefer to be lightly oiled, slightly accentuated by a few minor spices and baked lying on a cookie sheet basking in the golden glow of the oven, BUT the one thing that sets these fries apart from the skinny swim suit model is that you can actually LOVE them instead of secretly hating them :) When we were still in PA, my neighbors RAVED over them and I mean RAVED! They could smell the wonderful aroma coming from the windows in the spring and would say "Oh my gosh" someone is cooking something that smells delicious! I once made the mistake of calling them "healthy French fries" and very promptly these little fry guys lost their appeal— that is UNTIL they tasted them!!! Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries NOTE: The amounts listed are for every one pound of fries.
