Double-Berry Romaine Smoothie
I’m back from my month-long journey through Italy. I’m exhausted but inspired by all that we’ve experienced. I learned so much about people, places, art, history, and FOOD! Oh my gosh, so many good healthy and tasty tips on food. I can’t wait to share all of my pictures and new recipes with you, but I’m still recovering from all that travel so I decided to post something simple this week: my go-to-smoothie and my oldest son’s favorite smoothie. This smoothie is what I usually have for breakfast during the work week. We always have the ingredients in the freezer and refrigerator. And when in a rush to get out the door, this is the perfect solution for a healthy start to a busy day.
Taziki Sauce with Pita Chips
Taziki sauce isn’t for everyone. Daddy will hardly touch the stuff, but I’m crazy about it. It’s a Greek dip, and it can be used as a spread on pita sandwiches or gyros. It is a tiny bit tangy, but if you like cucumbers and dill, you must try this. It’s healthy and worth making it at least once and trying it several different ways: dips, sandwiches, gyros, and even on a greek style vegetable salads.
