I tried to resist buying this cookbook, but once I had it in my hands I had to have it. The pictures are beautiful and the author chose the real highlights from her blog. The only complaint I have so far is that many of the recipes carry over on to the next page with just a few lines of text or a note. It seems that the publishers could have changed the typeset or design to allow for the recipes to be on one page with the picture facing. I don't know why, but I hate flipping pages when I am using a cookbook. Also, I kind of wish the USA version had the same cover as the Canadian print--I just like that parfait picture better!
Recipe: Classic Green Monster
Thoughts: Since working in a coffee shop where we made smoothies and juices, I have been skeptical about following a recipe for a smoothie. Seems silly to me, but after following this to a tee I get it. This smoothie is phenomenal. I could drink it any time of the day.
Changes: I didn't have a frozen banana, but other than that I didn't change anything. I was unsure about the vanilla, but it was nice. I think I could leave it out for myself, but leave it in if I were serving this to my son.
Ingredients: These are everyday ingredients in our house.
Weekday meal: I could drink this daily. It is easy to make and blended up nicely in my Nutribullet.
Keeper: Definitely will be making this again and again. I can see why this recipe became so popular on her blog!
