Smoothie Sunday: Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie
I realize this smoothie is pretty similar to the peanut butter and jelly smoothie that I posted last year. But blueberry jelly is less popular than strawberry jelly, so I decided that it deserved its own post. The inspiration for this smoothie came from my putting blueberries on peanut butter toast. It’s very yummy, but it can be a bit tricky to eat. This smoothie has all the flavor without fear of blueberries rolling off of bread.

Pizza Lab #33: Marshmallow Krispie Treat Pizza
There’s not a lot of universal truths out there. It’s hard to make grand, sweeping statements that are actually true. And most professional writers and college professors will tell you the worst way to begin a piece is by doing basically what I’m doing here, but hey that’s besides the point. Anyway, here goes.
I venture to say, every single person under the age of 50 has eaten a Rice Krispie Treat, in America. Really. Come on, how can you not have? They’re a snack/dessert fixture for everyone. For many kids, that’s their first venture into the world of cooking, due to the overwhelming simplicity of them. Three ingredients, no knives or sharp objects, very little heating, and no complicated cooking involved. Everyone has to have had at least one in their life at some point.
Naturally, it’s about time we turned them into a pizza, don’t you think?
Smoothie Sunday: Strawberry Almond Peach Smoothie
Full confession: this was originally supposed to be a peach cobbler-like smoothie but the second peach I had got eaten before I made my smoothie. So I had to improvise. Luckily it still turned out really yummy. If you do want to make this a peach cobbler smoothie, just use 2 peaches and cut out the strawberries. Either way this will be a lovely late summer smoothie.

The Cereal Report: Frosted Flakes Energy Clusters
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
Frosted Flakes is cool. It’s a classic cereal that’s been around since the 1950s, it tastes good, and it’s pretty decent for you. I always liked that it’s sort of the meeting point between adult cereals and kid cereals, since it looks like a boring grown-up cereal, but it still has the yummy sweetness for all those of of us who don’t find cardboard and twigs to be particularly appetizing. Since they’re so successful, and considering their longevity, I sorta hold them in this legendary realm of God Tier cereals, ones that have been around forever, taste good, and are pretty much good on their own without need for tweaking. Very rarely does Kellogg’s release modifications or limited editions of Frosted Flakes, so when they do it’s a big deal. The last couple of iterations, Chocolate Frosted Flakes and Frosted Flake Gold (basically honey flavored), were interesting takes but ultimately fleeting. It’s been a while since their latest special edition.

Smoothie Sunday: Pineapple Carrot Smoothie
While I was looking up carrot cake recipes to get ideas for my carrot cake smoothie I stumbled upon a few that contained pineapple. I was intrigued by this combination and figured it would work well for a smoothie too. While it is another carrot smoothie that was semi-inspired by carrot cake, it tastes different enough from the carrot cake smoothie thanks to the pineapple. The pineapple really adds a lovely citrus tang. Drink this smoothie and you won’t have to worry about getting scurvy and you’ll be able to see in the dark better.
