Smoothie Sunday: Berry Cherry Smoothie
This is another one of my, “I need to use up this fruit” smoothie creations (as opposed to a “thought out a few days in advance” one). Funnily enough, it seems like my last minute creations end up being some of my favorites. Then again it’s hard to go wrong with a fairly classic combination like this.

Quick Recipe: Chicken Fingers Burrito
So now that you know how to make your own homemade chicken fingers, you’re gonna be making a shit ton of them at home. But oh no, you suddenly find yourself with this tremendous influx of heavenly ambrosia and can’t eat it all. What do? WHAT DO?
Obviously, you make a burrito.
Smoothie Sunday: Kiwi Lime Smoothie
Lime is probably one of my favorite citrus flavors. It’s so refreshing and also smells wonderful. I’m very upset that green apple has become the go-to flavor for green candies and the like, pushing lime out of the way. I also enjoy lime in smoothies. They definitely need to be combined with another fruit though, because otherwise you’ll just end up with a limeade drink. This time I decided to try mixing lime with another green fruit – kiwi. While a good start, I will definitely be experimenting with other lime smoothies in the future as well.

Quick Recipe: Clover Tea
Tea is pretty awesome cuz it’s so easy to make. Even better, the not-technically-tea version of tea, ’tisane’, can be made of pretty much anything. Notably, you can steep various common edible plants to make a quick, poor man’s tea in the blink of an eye, after some easy foraging in your yard. Obviously not all will taste good, so be discerning. A common one that actually works really well is clover tea! Look for the tall ones with the purple flowers, they have a sweeter, less grassy taste than the short ones with white flowers. That said, white flowers will still work, it’ll just taste a bit more like green tea than white tea.
Oh and the four-leaf clover isn’t necessary, though it will add a ton of luckiness to your hot leaf juice (probably).
Smoothie Sunday: Avocado Horchata Smoothie
My last attempt at a horchata smoothie was yummy, but a bit thin for my personal smoothie tastes. So I decided to try again. Remembering how thick the avocado smoothie I made last year turned out, I figured if I wanted a thicker smoothie that this would be a good bet. And I was right! This smoothie was much thicker and smoother. The fats in the avocado also made it more filling. Overall I preferred this horchata smoothie over the first, but they’re both good in their own ways.
