Kickin’ Kale Salad

Green Smoothie Heaven

What a day! I invited two dear friends, Tanna and Nina, over to my house to play kitchen. Or were we playing mad scientist? Or were we on the cusp of developing a new reality TV show? Perhaps all three – there was experimentation, laughter, deliciousness galore and the set up was gorgeous as we…

Donuts for Breakfast!

  Well…..sort of. Kinda. Not really. Certainly not those sticky gluten laden greasy globs sold at gas stations. (That could be a fun tongue twister with the kids though!) No, the donuts that I had this morning were Donut Peaches  – organic and fresh off the tree of local farmer David Miskell. These peaches are…
