Sneaky Smoothie
"I call this sneaky smoothie because during transition to solid foods, our toddler refused to eat anything that was chunky..which pretty much ruled out all veggies and fruit. She absolutely loves this smoothie and even now I sneak in hard to eat fruits and carrots this way! I should add that this version is also our personal favorite and tastes divine when partially frozen. TIP: When you find yourself with over-ripe bananas, peel them and break them in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap and put inside a ziplock bag for smoothies or just for a nice summer treat (frozen bananas are easy to bite when frozen and replace sugar-laden popsicles at our house-you can even push a stick in one end of a banana half before freezing to make it easier to eat when frozen). You can substitute most any flavor yogurt (6 oz or 8 oz container) and frozen fruit that you want in any combination and it tastes wonderful! No extra honey or sugar or other sweeteners needed, you'll see!"

I've lived in several states, and they have all added a bit of "flavor" to my culinary preferences. I love comfort food and as I've aged, I seek ways to make old favorites more healthy. For me, healthy is defined by what we have learned about gut health over the years. I no longer cook the way I used to, but I still crave those old favorites. It's quite likely that something I posted here more than a decade ago is no longer made in my kitchen, or has been greatly altered to fit our new model. I appreciate it when people take the time to post great recipes because the internet is so much quicker and convenient to use than my stash of cookbooks, cherished as they are. I also appreciate reading reviews that people post, providing they are actually helpful. I just don't understand rudeness, competitiveness and the like and wish people didn't feel the need to inject negative attitudes into all the positive. I feel a site like this one can help many people and it's a great way to collaborate and share treasures in our kitchens. I'm glad to have access and to be a part of the community.
