Restaurant-style salsa

Posted on April 15, 2012 by

Let’s be honest: I will eat just about any salsa that’s put in front of me. Yeah, I prefer freshly made and non-chunky kinds, and I generally don’t like fruit salsas (though Flaming Amy’s pineapple salsa is a notable exception), … Continue reading →

I really like the idea of yogurt parfaits, but it seems like the pre-made ones always have some kind of yucky yogurt and not enough fruit. So I thought I’d make my own. I only have plain, nonfat Greek yogurt … Continue reading →

Breaking news: It’s hot. In fact, last month was the hottest July on record for Baltimore and Washington D.C. And it was pretty flipping hot in the rest of the U.S., too. So, what can you do? Besides staying inside … Continue reading →

Blueberry-mango smoothie

Posted on July 12, 2011 by

This smoothie is the reason we don’t have a rug in the living room anymore. The fact that I am still making it, despite the Blueberry Smoothie Incident of 2010, should tell you something. The recipe comes from the New … Continue reading →

Tropical sunrise smoothie

Posted on June 9, 2011 by
