DANG: Halloween Got Here Fast and CrEATivity

One minute I was getting fruit and the next I was getting candy. *sigh* How time passes. Anyways, I am going trick or treating this Halloween. Usually, we don’t, but my 4-year old sister really wanted to go so we are. I’ll post pictures after. Until then, enjoy these fruit Spooky-isms.

Look at how creative I got. Man, I’m so proud of me… Keep going!

Note: I am writing a surprise that I will post ASAP, I have not forgotten about the cookies, and have a Fruitful Halloween! Kisses and Kombuchas! 😀

Have Lunch With Me, Yeah?| Piece-za Pizza

Pizza has the five food groups: good, delicious, scrumptious, delectable, and complex carbohydrates. There is nothing you don’t get in a Piece-za Pizza. Pi-za pizza? Peet-za Pizza? I can’t be the only one who’s lazy and pronounces “Piece of Pizza” ” Piece-za Pizza”. Pizza Pizza? I don’t know… I’m just… lazy.  *shrugs*

Cheese and green bell peppers. Can I get an Amen?! No? Well forget you then.  I’m just kidding. Maybe.

Warm, cheesy, oily pizza that just melts in your mouth. That’s what this is. Man, I’m jealous.

This stuff is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. I said this stuff is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Happy Mother’s Day Blueberry (Very Berry) Smoothies!

First off I’d like to say that this is my recipe. I didn’t find this on YouTube or some blog or watch it on the Food Network/Cooking Channel. This all me, 100% Sage… unless it turns out terrible for you then it was 100% you. That’s just the way it is :p. This smoothie was so good I made it every day for nearly a week and my mom made sure that I used the exact same recipe that I used the first time so that it taste the same each time. Only thing is, I find that when making smoothies (among other things) it all depends on taste. But I am going to use a ratio so that your version of my smoothie tastes absolutely delicious.

Before we go any further I want to make sure that the night before you make this, which hopefully is tonight (even though, sense it is late I understand if you don’t. Just do it in the morning, a few hours before you make the smoothie), you chop up a banana, wrap it up in some Saran wrap (without the peel) and put it in the freezer or else the smoothie will have too many different textures and won’t turn out as thick and creamy as it should. Also, take into account that this is 100% vegetarian so you will feel good after drinking it and your body will love you for it! Now, for the rest of the ingredients:

When making your smoothie, because this is a Blueberry Smoothie you want to put more frozen blueberries than any of the other fruits. So, in ratio, try 3:1 for strawberries and blueberries, but if it comes down to it and your smoothie is too liquid-y add more strawberries not blueberries because they can be a little over powering.

After you have added your blueberries and strawberries (in that order, because strawberries take up more room in the blender and you won’t get enough blueberries) you want to add a tablespoon of hemp protein powder, then the frozen bananas and honey to taste.

If I had to guess i’d say this is about 2 table spoons of honey, and sometimes (most of the time) I have to add more after i’ve blended everything up and tasted it.

 After you’ve added all that yummy goodness, you add the spinach. Now this is completely optional and the smoothie would be just as good without it. The blender should be pretty full by this time you you’re going to want to just stuff the spinach in empty pockets in the blender. Then, add the rice milk.

Gorgeous color, isn’t it? Your mom will love it and know you spent a lot of time on it, though it is incredibly easy to make!

This smoothie makes approximately 4 very large glasses (*great tip: instead of tossing your spaghetti and jelly jars, cleaning them out really well, remove the wrapper and use them as cups*) and you can garnish it with blueberries or mixed berries.

 

I really hope you enjoy this! It will give you and your mom a great pick-me-up! If you make it, don’t hesitate to tell me how it went! Email or comment! 🙂 – Sage

It’s April 22nd! Happy Earth Day!

Hey, you. No, not you, you. Yes You. I’m kidding, the person behind you.

On account of it being Earth Day i have decided to plant… something. Well, it’s a plant, i just though it would be weird if i said “plant” twice in the same sentence. It’s an Avocado plant, which i heard you can make from an avocado seed. It’s not supposed to flower but it should have leaves and that’s what i am really excited about. I’ve never kept a plant before so it will be very interesting to see how this turns out. That’s a lie, i’ve tried to do this before. December 2012 I tried to grow an avocado plant. It was freezing, and there was hardly any sun both of which the plant needed (warmth and sunlight) so i kept a light on it and would turn on the oven every now and then for the warmth (it seemed like the oven was the only warm place in the house). I ended up baking the avocado and the water in which i kept it was incredibly merky. So, to be honest, i will be trying this again and posting on the progress every now and then. Sense it is 90 degrees here i wont need to turn on the oven because i already feel like i’m in one. Now, because we don’t have any avocados in the house (which i, personally, don’t mind because i don’t really care for avocados) I cant do this now. But i would like to show you guys how it turns out when i finally get to plant one. Anyways, Happy Earth Day! Keep reusing, reducing, and recycling! And ride your bike more often, you look sexy doing it (Yes! I’m talking to you!)

Yuck. But it’s still pretty.

Question. How do you feel about avocados? I feel like i am the only one that dislikes this stuff.
