Tot Thursday (yes i know its been almost a month...mea culpa!!)

Wow, so I got out of the blogging world for a while...my world was overrun by, well, things! Awful, I know. This is something Bella and I did today. One of her favorite shows has a place called the Groovy Smoothie in it and she's been begging me to make her a smoothie so I finally gave in :) the names for all the smoothies in the show are Wiggly Giggly Watermelon, Honeydew, Banana, Chilly Cherry, Blueberry, Raspberry, and Sour Lemon, and Outrageous Orange (ok so not ALL are names, some are just flavors haha) feel free to subtract the milk and yogurt and add some juice for extra flavor! If you use frozen fruit you don't need ice, but with fresh fruit you will.


Ingredients
-1 cup frozen berries (or fruit)
-1 to 2 cups milk
-optional 1/4 c yogurt

Directions
-Blend, serve immediately

Tomorrow I'll post for the hidden veggie smoothie recipe I found today. I'll have to make this for my dear dear husband who avoids them like the plague...cheese and butter and flavorings will not help...GAH!

Healthy Humpday

This looked so good I had to put this up before I tried it...mmmmmm!! However I can't find a picture :( this would be cute for kids and do like a green egg and ham kind of thing! or turn it into a pie, like a quiche or something

TIP! Look for prewashed baby spinach, that way you don't have to wash or chop the leaves. AND to assure the eggs turn out soft and fluffy, wait until the very end to add the spinach ricotta mixture.
