Smoothie Sunday: Cantaloupe Smoothie
Fun fact: many of the melons that we commonly call cantaloupes in America aren’t actually cantaloupes. They’re muskmelons. It’s one of those situations where all cantaloupes are muskmelons, but not all muskmelons are cantaloupes. It’s confusing. But whatever the case, the orange melon we eat in the summertime is yummy. So I decided to make a smoothie out of it.

Recipe Time! Francakes (French Toast Pancakes)
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gets your body going and gives you energy to get your day started. During the week breakfast is usually cereal, toast, oatmeal, a bagel, or a smoothie. But come the weekend, breakfast gets to be a bit fancier. On Sundays Erik and I usually make either French toast or pancakes for breakfast (okay, and also occasionally crepes or waffles, but they’re not relevant to this post). One day we had the genius idea – what would happen if we combined them in to one mega-breakfast food? And thus, Francakes were born. A wonderful combination of French toast and pancakes. Light and fluffy like a pancake, yet cinnamon-y like French toast. The best part is if you know how to make French toast (which you should), and how to make pancakes, you can most certainly easily make Francakes.

Smoothie Sunday: Cherry Lemonade Smoothie
I really like cherries, so I wanted to try to use them in a smoothie. I also decided to make it even more summer-y by making it cherry lemonade flavor. The main problem with this smoothie was that I was using fresh cherries and don’t have a cherry pitter. Needless to say, removing all the pits was a major pain in the butt. However if you can find cherries whose pits have already been removed, or have cherry pitter, this smoothie will go a lot easier.

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!

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.
