Hi guys! I have a mini post for you today! it’s a short ‘Snack Hack’ for Vegan Ranch Popcorn! It’s like a life hack… but for snacks.. because making your life easier with yummy, healthy, and EASY recipes is what I do. 😉 With Halloween fast approaching, it’s a great time to gather some healthy snacks and goodies for the kids, and this snack is definitely kid approved! Did you know that October is also #NationalPopcornPoppin’Month ? Well, it is, so that means it’s the prefect time to kick your popcorn up a couple of notches! To accomplish this,  I literally take one of my favorite snacks and use it to make my popcorn even better! Let me explain…….
Super Amazing Green Smoothie and 365 Workouts
Happy Monday! Today’s recipe is my Super Amazing Green Smoothie! Some of you are already green smoothie experts, and I don’t have to tell you about the deliciousness involved with green smoothie drinking, or the health benefits. But others, not so much. So I’m going to talk to you , the unconverted, for a minute, because in the not so distant past, I WAS you. I am not the kind of person that will eat or drink something just because it’s ‘good for you’. It HAS to taste good, and if it’s a green drink, that goes double! Life is too short right? So how did I end up as a green smoothie convert? A couple of things… First, I have a friend, Susi, who is always juicing, and she was sending me all of these yummy photos of the rainbow of veggies that were going in her juicer. It was inspiring! Not enough to actually break out my juicer, but more in the I need a trip to Jamba Juice kinda way. So I went to Jamba Juice, and instead of ordering my usual strawberry, banana, and a scoop of peanut butter smoothie, I decided to live on the edge and try a GREEN smoothie! I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t going to like it, and that it would be a waste of money, but I decided to be VERY brave and try it anyway. To my surprise, I actually liked it! And I felt really good after drinking it too! (Not to mention, pretty darn proud of myself too!)  And then I started thinking about when could I go back and get another one?! You guys,  it’s GREEN and the whole thing tastes like peaches and bananas, so what’s not to love?!
And that’s how it began. So, now I have this food blog thing happening, and I’m like, am I even a real food blogger if I don’t have a green smoothie recipe on my blog? I mean, you need that to get the official Food Blogger membership card right? 😉 So why not share my favorite green smoothie recipe with you guys? So I will. But first, I have to make a little confession.

Vegan Pizza Snacks
December 14 – Â only NINE days until Christmas! I’m trying super hard to get everything done, like a week ahead of time, so I can spend that week before Christmas, baking cookies with my kids, reading stories, watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, and sitting by the fire, drinking something warm and yummy. Or maybe something cold and sparkly, and enjoying a short stack of these crispy vegan pizza snacks, otherwise known as Pizzadillas! That’s what it looks like in my mind anyway! We’ll see what happens in real life.

Wow! Hi! I’ve taken a pretty long break! I just got back from a cross country road trip with my hubby, sons, and our 2 dogs! We went from our home, here in California, to Maryland and Virginia to visit my family. That’s where I’m originally from, and my whole family lives there. I haven’t seen them in a long time, and we had a wonderful trip and a great visit. Best part about being out on the road? Seeing new places all the time, taking the kids to really interesting places and taking lots and lots of pictures!! A little teaser for my next post…. I will be posting a recipe that was inspired by one of my favorite stops on our road trip! It’s a dish I’m completely OBSESSED with it, and that’s all I’m going to say about it for now. So make sure you don’t miss it because it’s awesome! Hint: I’m talking about this city… if you know where this is, then you win!
Do you know where this is?
So, now we’re back, and I am enjoying using my oven again. I have to say that even though I have an oven in our fifth wheel, I rarely take the time to bake anything while we’re traveling… unless it’s like French fries or something! Even though the salesman did point out that our unit has an oven, for ‘baking cakes and pies’ when we were buying it. Ummmm, cakes and pies, when you’re camping? Yeah. Right. (Side note – if YOU make cakes and pies while you’re camping, then you’re my hero, and I’ll be over at dessert time!) One of my kids’ first requests when we got home was more “banana muffins”! I usually make a bunch ahead of time and bring them with us, but they go fast! They were gone about two days into our 2 month journey! They are super yummy, and a big family favorite around here!
