Blueberry honey smoothie
During my trip to Santa Cruz two years ago, I visited the local farmer’s market and came across their Farmer’s Market String Band. The group of 6 or so musicians sat casually next to booths selling freshly picked tomatoes, cabbages and sunflowers, and plucked cheerfully at their instruments, putting together a fun show of swing/jazz for the Sunday morning shopping crowd. I was immediately drawn to their music and bought the CD. After returning to New York City, that CD was my only audio link back to the West Coast. Whenever I put the music on I was taken right back to the smell of fresh herbs, lively bargains and a laid-back crowd in the warm sun.
As I’m playing the CD again today, I thought to myself, what goes better with the cheerful music than a cup of blueberry smoothie! So that’s what I did – frozen blueberry, a drip of honey, plain yogurt and low fat milk and – BLEEEEND. Perfect afternoon dessert ready in 2 minutes!

Midnight Guilty Pleasure – Cookie and Milk
I know I know… 1 am is not supposed to be food time, and we just had a big dinner, and the doctor said to cut down on carbs, and I have a mission-impossible weight loss goal. But WHATEVER! It’s cookie and milk – the most perfect food paring ever invented in human history!
The innocent cookie staring at us. It says “Eat me pleeeeease.”. I swear I heard it.
The innocent cookie after one bite.
