Quick Recipe: Creamed Spinach Grilled Cheese
I know this sounds like kind of a strange sandwich, and it probably is, but stick with me on this one. Despite being a national chain, Boston Market has my favorite creamed spinach around. I’m not sure how they do it, but it’s just really good. It’s not too cream-y, not too spinach-y and it just tastes good. We somehow had some leftover at my house the other day, and I really wanted to eat some of it for lunch, but I didn’t want to just sit there eating creamed spinach because that wouldn’t be a very satisfying lunch. So I decided to make a sandwich out of it. And it was really good! You can use whatever creamed spinach you like, it doesn’t have to be Boston Market, but I can’t guarantee it will work as well (additionally, if you want to use fresh spinach leaves instead that’d probably work too. I’d recommend using baby spinach leaves though).
Smoothie Sunday: Spiced Nectarine Smoothie
I wish I could say I had some awesome inspiration for this smoothie. But in reality it was inspired by me being told to use these nectarines before they go bad. So I looked up what flavors go well with nectarines. And there you have it, the spiced nectarine smoothie. It may not have impressive origins, but it is tasty!

The Snack Report: Maple Cotton Candy
Cotton candy is a magical treat. It’s sugar that’s been transformed into something light and fluffy and fun. Cotton candy has been around since the 18th century, but it was expensive then, so not many people knew about it. Like many popular food stuffs today, cotton candy got its first real introduction to a wide audience at a World’s Fair, in this case the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.
Smoothie Sunday: Strawberry Mango Smoothie
I got the idea for this smoothie from a blended margarita I had once. It was yummy, so I figured the flavors in smoothie form would be yummy too. Obviously the smoothie doesn’t have alcohol in it. Though I suppose if that’s how you need to start your morning you could add some.
What you’ll need.
Cheat Codes: Ice Pops without Popsicle Molds
Ice pops are a beloved summer-time treat. They’re cold and refreshing on hot summer days. It’s always nice to keep some ice pops in the freezer during the summer. The problem I’ve continually had with store bought variety fruit flavor ice pop packs is that there’s almost always at least one flavor I don’t like (usually grape). This usually results in either leaving them in the freezer until they’re really old and gross so I ultimately throw them out, or pushing them off on to someone else. Whichever the case it seem like you should be able to have the ice pop flavors you want. And you can! Ice pops are super easy to make at home. Allow me to show you how.
