With Summer just around the corner and many looking to get in shape for bikini or pool season, diets low in fat and calories are what’s in store. We heart a good veggie recipe and as such decided to come up with one that uses a Summer staple, is easy to make and is good just about anytime of the day – whether as an appetizer, stand alone snack or as a side dish to your entree. So with that in mind, we have chosen a simple yet hearty Zucchini recipe that anyone can make on the fly and calls for just a few simple ingredients.

Microwave Cake in a Mug Recipe

Microwave Cake in a MugHave you ever tried a cake in a mug?

I have heard about making protein cakes/muffins in a mug and thought I would throw something of my own together.  Who would have ever thought I might try to come up with my own recipe?

I think my protein mug cake turned out just fine.  I might not use a whole egg next time rather just the white but we’ll see.

I look forward to trying more varieties too.  Next time I might add oatmeal and cocoa or chocolate protein powder.  So many ways you could try this one out.

Heavenly Berry Smoothie

Here are more varieties of healthy smoothies that I have made over the years since starting this blog.  I even came across pictures of me with my first green smoothie.  Too fun!

Last week I made this Heavenly Berry Smoothie (name idea came from the pretty cup my mom gave to me for Christmas).  It has a sweet bible verse on it with beautiful butterflies.

Coney Lentil Pie with Asiago Polenta

Coney Lentil Pie & Asiago PolentaHad a hard time trying to figure out what to call this meal.  Went from BBQ to coney sauce and Shephard’s pie to lentil pie.  So we came up with Coney Lentil Pie.  That should work.

I was craving lentils, we needed to use up some veggies, the polenta and we felt like biscuits.  So I came up with the idea of a shephard’s pie like meal except no potatoes and not as many veggies.

We’ll call it the Coney Lentil Pie with Asisago Polenta. I’m sorry we don’t have exact measurements, hubby doesn’t roll that way.  And I have to say I am impressed that I came up with an idea without a recipe.

Get Well Green Smoothie Recipe

Get Well Green Smoothie RecipeI made a great green smoothie yesterday.  I have been under the weather and this was something yummy to put in my body.  This Get Well smoothie turned out a beautiful green color as you see here.

I love making green smooothies and trying out different combinations. Here are some of my different healthy smoothie concoctions.  I have been using the Magic Bullet blender for years.  It makes my smoothie process so so simple and easy to clean up too.

We have been juicing as well and I have a plan to post about that as well.  We are still playing around with the new juicer and trying different fruits and veggies.  It’s been quite the experience.
