A Beet Broccoli Cottage Cheese Orange Juice and Strawberry Smoothie
February 15th, 2013 | Posted by in Morning Craziness - (0 Comments)Yes, Really. I’m not exactly sure where to begin with this one. I guess I’ll just tell you that a reader named James has left a couple of comments on the Mama’s Weeds Facebook page about smoothies/health shakes he’s made.

(Alternate – and perhaps more catchy? – Title: The One Where I Show You My Underwear) (Took me a minute to decide.) So! White bean blondies aren’t the only thing you can bake to heat up your kitchen. Pumpkins are good for that too, especially first thing in the morning. This pumpkin showed up in …

Let’s not call her the picky one. No, let’s call her my muse. A source of inspiration. A fruit and vegetable avoiding force to be reckoned with. See, I can make a fruit smoothie for Ava – no problem.

2010 started an awful lot like 2009 started: with a 7.5 mile road race first thing on New Years Day. Except unlike last year, I waited until the very last minute to decide whether or not to run this race. The decision was made at about 8 AM on 1/1/2010 when my running friend Shawn …
