Sometimes I get to have fun helping to cater events.

Stopped into this rad little shop in Old Sacramento today and walked away with this lovely lavender balsamic vinegar. Thank you @chefsolivemix for the experience of tasting all of your wonderful olive oils and balsamic vinegars! Great experience and excellent customer service!

Lunch today is a big bowl of sautéed veggies with garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice.

There's much debate about whether smoothies are healthy or not. The best thing you can do is make them at home so you're in control of the ingredients. One of our favorites has frozen bananas, blueberries, spinach, plain, unsweetened yogurt, and a little cocoa powder. Sure, there's sugar in the fruit, but we don't add any other sweetener. They are better than processed, sugar filled cereal and it's a huge time savor for me. They are whipped up in minutes. The kids think they are getting a treat and I feel good knowing exactly what they are fueling their bodies with. Bananas and blueberries are amazing fruits, both full of wonderful health benefits. Add in the spinach and the yogurt and it's a winner in our house! What are some of your favorite smoothie concoctions?
