En plus d’être très goûteux, ce smoothie est bon pour la santé et ne contient pas de lactose. Je l’ai fait à base de lait d’amande, l’un de mes produits chouchou du moment. Le lait d’amande est une boisson à base de purée d’amande qui, contrairement au lait de vache, ne contient pas de cholestérol, pas de lactose et très peu d’acides gras saturés. En plus, il est strictement végétalien et recommandé comme alternative au lait de soya. Il est simple à trouver dans toutes les épiceries, et disponible en plusieurs saveurs. Pour ce qui est du smoothie, en plus d’être idéal pour le petit-déjeuner, il fera fureur en guise de dessert rafraichissant lors de votre prochain souper cet été. Rapide et simple à faire en grande quantité, vous pouvez doubler, tripler ou encore quadrupler la recette facilement. Servez le smoothie dans de jolis pots Mason et décorez d’une paille comme celle sur la photo (je les ai trouvées chez Omer DeSerres).

What's for breakfast at your home today? Before you believe the facade, we didn't have these for breakfast either. (we had them for dinner :) Breakfast around here usually includes my favorite cereal (Multi-Grain Cheerios) after my run. The Manchild has recently learned how to eat cereal with a spoon and milk without spilling it all over the place. Ryan is usually suited up and halfway out the door before I can ask him if he managed to eat anything. Let's just say we've gone the "Milk Chocolate Instant Breakfast + Banana = Shake'' route for that man who sleeps in busy guy. Now that you know how breakfast is here, you can see why I can't pull off the whole I-make-a-hot-meal-for-my-family-each-morning-for-breakfast shpill. We just don't do a big breakfast around here unless it's a holiday or a special occasion. There's no time in the mornings! Nonetheless, we do have a breakfast-for-dinner meal a few times a month. So we still get our breakfast-food-fix. I know lemon-poppy seed is probably a cliche flavor combo at this point, but it 'aint broke, right? I couldn't resist throwing this in our dinner menu this past week. I'm a sucker for blueberries - throw them on a stack of thick, fluffy pancakes? I'm sold. ------- Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes with Fresh Blueberries Ingredients: 2 C flour 1 t baking powder 1 t baking soda 1/3 C sugar pinch of salt 1/3 C poppy seeds zest of 4 lemons 2 C buttermilk 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 T butter, melted butter, to serve (and for griddle) fresh blueberries Directions: 1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. 2. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, butter, lemon zest and poppy seeds. 3. Add the wet to the dry until it's the right consistency (you might not use all wet) Stir all ingredients together until they're just combined. 4. Heat up griddle to medium-hot and brush with melted butter. Pour about 1/3 C of batter in skillet. Wait until pancake bottom is golden and flip with a spatula. Cook other side until golden. Repeat with the rest of the batter. 5. Serve with warm syrup, butter, and fresh blueberries. Recipe Adapted from: Picky Cook

Do not adjust your sets - you haven't tuned into the wrong blog. Its still culinarily challenged me but this pie was so amazingly delish I had to share it. We had a chance encounter with its gooey yumminess in Africa. Luckily the camp manager was nice enough to share the recipe. I've made a few slight adjustments to account for American markets. Meet Banoffe "Danger" Pie. Ban for banana + offee for toffee = Banoffe pie. If you are like me, you've never heard the term 'banoffee', no less tasted it. Non Americans are roling their eyes now as its nothing new but humor my astonishment - how has this dessert not won us Yankees over? Why "danger"? Glad you asked. Danger is this pies middle name not only because is it tasty and calorically sinful but its also incredibly easy to make! A dangerous combination. If you are on a diet, avert your eyes. Still with me? Lets get started. You will need: 3 bananas 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk 2 cups whipping cream 1 package of digestive biscuits or graham crackers 1 stick of butter 1 tsp vanilla 1 small bar of chocolate If you don't mind using store bought ingredients you can cut down a lot on the steps but since I was posting it I figured I would make a proper version entirely from scratch just for you. Your first step can be done way ahead of time (at least hours but can be as much as months before). Remove the label on the condensed milk and submerge the unopened can in pot of water. Cover and boil for 2.5 hours. Warning: Be sure to keep the can covered by water at all times!! After requisite time has passed, take pot off the stove and allow the can to cool. In case you're wondering - you just made magic, er, toffee! So you're ready with your toffee, its time to do the rest. To make the crust (*You can skip this step entirely by buying a ready made graham cracker crust.) Grind up digestive cookies in food processor. Melt stick of butter in microwave and pour into crumb mixture. Blend until you have a moist sand mixture. Smooth wet crumbs into pie plate to make a crust. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. To make whipped cream (*You can skip this step entirely by using cool whip. ) Whip cold cream and vanilla on high until whipped Set aside Now its time to bring it all together. Cut up bananas into slices and lay into your crust. It doesn't matter how you arrange them really. Just go wild. Open toffee can, mix with knife until smooth, pour on bananas. Spread whipped cream over the whole mess. Grate chocolate on top (optional) Put in fridge to set for at least 2 hours. So there you have it. Yum in a pan. I dare you not to love it.
