Ah, polenta…it’s been so long since we cooked with you. I got this idea for this pie on Pinterest (of course), but decided to nix the black beans, since I feel like we use them ALL the time. I also added some extra veggies and it made me a super hearty-and healthy-dish. 5 cups water […]
Avocado Peanut Butter Smoothie

There’s very few ingredients I think you can mix together in a smoothie, and NOT have it taste delicious Fruit, Bananas, some leafy greens and coconut/almond milk is a very basic recipe for yumminess.

Pad Thai
