Smoothie Sunday: Autumn Sweet Potato Smoothie
Well friends, fall is officially upon us, which means that Smoothie Sunday is wrapping up for the season. Since my mission this year was to try to work more veggies into my smoothies it seemed appropriate to begin and end with a vegetable-based smoothie. It’s just coincidence that both of them happened to be orange. This smoothie is perfect for the first week of autumn, and it will have you ready for Thanksgiving even though it’s still a couple of months away.

Quick Recipe: Maple Glaze Dipping Sauce
Happy Fall to everyone out there whom is a fan of the season, or just seasons in general! While admittedly my favorite season is Summer, Autumn is a close favorite, even though it leads into shitty, cold, awful Winter. Nevertheless Fall features some of the most awesome, unique food combinations you’ll see the entire year. You get the tail-end of Summer’s bountiful vegetables, combined with all the delicious Fall harvest of apples, pumpkins, squash, and random spices.
We’re featuring a super-Fall-y dish next week, but in preparation, we offer this dipping sauce that goes with it, or any other number of foods you want to get some nice, dark, Fall sweetness added to. Especially try them on our apple fries.
Recipe Time: Grilled French Toast
Wait! Stop! Don’t drool directly onto your dumb iPad! Shit’s expensive, dude.
Summer may be on its way out, but there’s still plenty of time left for grilling before November hits (yes, that’s right word of God states November is officially the end of grilling season). We recently decided to toy around with something that’s a bit of a missing link in the culinary chain. Grilling is great, and throwing stuff on the grill that doesn’t normally get grilled results in awesome things. Hell that’s one of the reasons why grilled desserts ended up becoming a thing. Yet, despite all that has been done with grilling, breakfast has mysteriously remained outside of the barbecue loop… Sure, you may once in a while hear about people grilling bacon, but it’s usually on the side of lunch or dinner. We decided to jump headfirst into this mystery, and came up with something magical.
Smoothie Sunday: Orange Grapefruit Smoothie
One of the best grapefruit I ever had was brought back from someone’s grandfather’s backyard in Florida, and it was amazing. It was so sweet I didn’t even need to add sugar. Unfortunately, most of the grapefruit you can buy in stores is not that sweet, and can be downright bitter. I still enjoy eating grapefruit from time to time, but having to load it down with sugar seems a bit counter-intuitive in terms of eating fruit for a healthy breakfast. But, I figured if I put it in a smoothie with other, sweeter things I could still get the grapefruit flavor without all the bitterness. And thus this smoothie was born.
