Pizza Lab #22: Grilled Pineapple Pizza
Well, it’s officially Fall. We’ve been trying to wring out every ounce left of this Summer, for all it had left. The past few weeks have been busy, but Meg A. and I still managed to fit in one last summery Pizza Lab. Of course at this point it’s become a running joke since every time we try to grill a pizza, we tend to misjudge our time and end up grilling in the dark. This time we vowed to avoid that and finally do a barbecue grill pizza during daylight hours!
We were not successful.
However despite our scheduling ineptitude we managed to put together a really tasty, unique pie that certainly was a good way to see off the end of the summertime. Here’s Pizza Lab #22, Grilled Pineapple Pizza!
Smoothie Sunday: Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Smoothie
The last oatmeal smoothie I made turned out really yummy, so I wanted to give another one a shot. Again, I used overnight oatmeal as a base. This time I decided to use more traditional oatmeal additions in the form of cinnamon apple. Since I don’t have a super-mega blender I knew that blending fresh apples would be rather difficult. So instead I opted to use dried apples, rehydrated in the oatmeal overnight. It worked out really well. I also upped the apple flavor by adding applesauce. Overall it was another successful oatmeal smoothie!

Smoothie Sunday: Avocado Mango Smoothie
As has been mentioned before here, I’m a big fan of avocados. They’re good for you, and taste yummy. That being said, I don’t usually eat avocados for breakfast. But smoothie Sunday seemed like a good chance to change that. I added mango as a second flavor, since avocado and mango are paired in things like salsas and burritos. The tang/acid of the mango helps cut through the creaminess of the avocado. Since it’s so creamy I used the avocado like how I use the yogurt in most of my smoothies.

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.

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.
What you’ll need…plus lemon juice because somehow I forgot to take it out for the picture.
