Smoothie Popsicles

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ruby has been my smoothie buddy since she was around two. We don’t make them as often now that she’s in school, but these smoothie popsicles are even more fun for the kids. This is a really basic recipe using what I had on hand today, but you could make these a million different ways by switching up the fruits and juice that you use.

Whenever bananas start looking too ripe I peel them, break ’em in half, and then add them to my frozen banana collection so I always have them on hand for smoothies. We also have the best popsicle molds ever. I’m not getting paid to promote them or anything, I just love how easily they unmold and the zombies are the cutest. I will say that the swords are a tad on the phallic side (especially if you’re super immature like me) so in hindsight, we should have gone with the monster or tiki molds for our second set.

No matter what kind of mold you use I can promise that these smoothie pops will be an easy and healthy-ish treat for the whole family.

Quick & Easy Asparagus Frittata Recipe

/0 Comments/in /by

The thing I love most about frittatas is that you can pretty much add anything you want to them. We tend to use a veggie and a fresh herb. Every now and then we’ll add in bacon or another savory meat. You can also mix up the cheese with whatever you have in the fridge.

The day before I cooked this we didn’t get much green with our dinner, so I decided to go heavy on the asparagus. If you don’t just love asparagus, an entire bunch might be a bit too much, you may want to cut it in half.

One last option, you don’t have to use egg beaters in the dish. You can easily do three more eggs instead. I’d love to do it that way, but we’re trying to watch my cholesterol.

Step 7
Pour over the cooked asparagus.
Step 8
Cook for about four minutes. The bottom should completely set up and the middle should start to cook through as well.
Step 9
Sprinkle the rosemary and cheese evenly over the top. Instead of shredded swiss we only had slices, so I chopped it up into small pieces and measured out the same amount.

Step 10
Place it in the oven and cook until the top is nice and golden. Make sure the center isn't giggly at all. About 6 minutes.

Step 11
Once it's out of the oven be sure to put an oven mitt on the handle to make sure you don't accidentally burn yourself. I usually cut a slice out right away and chop it up into pieces for Wyatt. It seems like frittatas retain their heat for an eternity.
