Pineapple Spinach Green Smoothie Pineapple Spinach Green Smoothie Start your day with a delicious, refreshing, and healthy SPINACH PINEAPPEN GREEN! Spinach has never tasted so good! Green smoothies are the most preferred thing and this one you can't even taste the spinach! All you feel is the goodness of sweet fruit. Now, my philosophy is that every smoothie needs bananas and yogurt. Bananas add a sweet and soft taste. In berry smoothies also help cut bitterness. Prep Time: 2 Minutes Total Time: 2 Minutes Pineapple Spinach Green Smoothie Ingredients 1/4-1/2 cup apple juice, or skim milk 2/3 cup low-fat vanilla greek yogurt 1 banana 1 cup pineapple 1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed Ice, optional Instructions Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. If using frozen fruit you'll probably need to use 1/2 cup liquid instead of just 1/4.

Black Forest Pavlova with Espresso Cream Black Forest Pavlova With Espresso Cream This weekend is a long Australian holiday. It's been a weekend celebrating with a classic Aussie barbie (BBQ), wearing an Australian flag printed on someone's t-shirt or bikini, shouting "Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi" (unfortunately) and eating lamington (very fortunately). But for some people it eats pavlova, and I have seen some of them proudly displayed on Facebook and regular social media sites this weekend. Now I know there is some debate (actually, a lot of debate) about the exact origin of the pav, I've even discussed this in a recent post. Yes, I know it comes from New Zealand, but for many people it is still a major part of Australia Day celebrations. Because we don't really have a lot of dishes that we can call authentic Australian cuisine, the reason is understandable. Prep Time : 1 Hour Cook Time : 2 Hours.

White Chocolate and Berry Cheesecake Cookies White Chocolate and Berry Cheesecake Cookies We recently discovered a new neighborhood cafe, which also offers a decent selection of soups and lunch salads, has some delicious cakes. My favorite is the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake - which is very good I just need to imitate at home. The only change I made was to put a few strawberries between raspberries - for variety, or because even a large chunk of raspberries wasn't enough to make two layers and I happened to have a few strawberries in the fridge (choose the reason you believe, but that's good) .

Western Omelet Quiche Western Omelette Quiche Recipe This colorful Western Omelette quiche happens when savory pies and roasted Western omelettes collide. Eggs, cheese, paprika, green onions, and ham are all baked together with delicious creamy pudding in a deep dish pie shell. Not only is this quiche easy but it also heats beautifully. It can only spell deliciousness in my recipe book. Quiche reminds me of a small bistro that I used to visit with my girlfriend for lunch. We gather at least one Saturday morning every month to catch up and giggle. Especially giggling. We often meet in remote small bistros where there is always something delicious offered as Chef's specials on that day. Quiche in every imaginable taste is regular rotation on the menu and always a hot favorite. Personally, I think quiche is suitable for eating every day. Especially when served with a light fruit compote or mixed salad salad to complement the meal. Ingredients 1/4 tsp ground mustard...
