Hi there, dear readers! I hope your Wednesday is going swimmingly. (“Swimmingly” is a very appropriate word, given the hours of torrential rain we experienced last night. It’s like I live in the Amazon sometimes.) Let’s briefly talk cravings. In addition to the usual pizza, eggs, hummus, and ice cream cravings I’ve been having all…

Virgin Mango Lime Margaritas
Even if I weren’t pregnant—and even if I could consume all the frozen margaritas I desired—I’d be lying if I acted like Cinco de Mayo (or any Mexican dinner night) wasn’t about the glorious, flavorful food. This pregnant, food-obsessed woman can’t wait to bite into a crunchy taco shell and slather homemade guacamole (with extra…
Fall-Inspired Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
As a southerner, I don’t think I could live without sweet potatoes. Not only are they delicious—they’re bursting with all sorts of nutrients. Like most orange-hued fruits/vegetables, sweet potatoes are chock-full of beta carotene. They’re also a good source of dietary fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins A and C, and, surprisingly (to me, anyway), calcium…
Summertime Peach & Basil Smoothie
It’s not even mid-June yet, but it’s been absurdly hot this week. It’s been so hot that my relaxing, lunchtime park walks may soon be ending! 🙁 On days that begin in the 80°s, warm—even lukewarm—breakfasts are out of the question, so today’s morning meal included a delicious new smoothie that screams summertime. Featuring juicy…
Seasonal Strawberry, Avocado & Mint Smoothie
One of my absolute favorite things about Spring and Summer is the abundance of fresh produce. Though I haven’t met a fruit I didn’t like, strawberries will always be at the top of my list. Nothing beats a freshly-picked, juicy, and sweet strawberry, especially if it’s locally grown in Baldwin County, AL or in Ponchatoula,…
MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
Green Eats #3: Aaahh! Green Monsters
Remember these guys from Nickelodeon way back in the day? Well, I’m here to talk about a different kind of monster. The Green Monster. I don’t know who is responsible for first putting spinach (or any other leafy green) into the blender and calling it a smoothie, but to whomever you are, thank you. I…
