I will admit that summer is not my favorite season. We live in a desert, so summer is really hot. Although I grew up here so I am used to it, I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't mind a more mild summer that didn't last nine months out of the year. However, I try to make the best of things (which is why we have a pool) and these summer smoothie recipes are definitely part of the summer equation! Summer time is a great time for smoothies, especially these smoothies. You can toss these ingredients into your Hamilton Beach Blender and have a tasty summer smoothie treat in a snap. Bonus? These are dairy free and vegan, so, there is nothing holding you back. (Although, if you wanted to toss a scoop of vanilla ice cream in to make these more like a shake I'd say, go right ahead!) Who doesn't love a good blender? Hamilton Beach Blenders work great, and they don't break the bank! So, if you don't already have a Hamilton Beach Blender on hand, click on the link to buy one. Once it arrives, make yourself some smoothies!  Smoothie #1: Peachie Keen 2 yellow peaches 1 banana 1/2 cup carrot juice 1 cup almondmilk bonus: 1 serving of your favorite protein powder (I use Orgain Organic Creamy Chocolate Powder) Throw in your Hamilton Beach Blender and blend on high for 1 minute.  Smoothie #2: Blue Strawberry Dream 1/2 cup strawberries 1/2 cup blueberries 1 banana 1/4 cup spinach 1 and 1/2 cups almondmilk Throw into your Hamilton Beach Blender and blend on high for 1 minute. For thicker smoothies, add 1/4 cup crushed ice. You can also add 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream for more of a milkshake.

Hello friends! It has been awhile since I've posted, and I've missed you! How was your memorial day? Ours was memorable, and sad, as PH's father passed away that weekend due to complications from Alzheimers.
He was a wonderful kind man, and he lived a wonderful, kind life. He is missed here, but we're glad to no longer watch him deteriorate. Alzheimers is one painful disease for everyone involved. Thankfully, we got to be there to say good-bye. Families are a blessing, and eternal families are the greatest blessing! It is what brings us peace and comfort! Since coming home we have been moving forward, as that is what life does. Friday rolled around and Fridays are my day off. I get to spend the day with my daughter, and the two of us got A LOT accomplished this last Friday, including making this tasty Green Chili Burros Salad for dinner! 
I don't know why I was suddenly in the mood for green chili burros for dinner on Friday, but I was. Green Chili Burros in and of themselves are an easy dinner option. Growing up my mom would often make them for Sunday dinner. She could throw the meat in the crock pot before church, and when we came home three hours later the house smelled amazing. Maybe I wanted that comforting smell in our home. Maybe I just wanted that delicious food in my belly.
Either way, I decided that was going to be dinner. However, just the night before PH told me that he had made a decision to stop with the sugar and carbs in his life. I want to fully support him in this endeavor, so a knew an actual green chili burro was out of the question. I feel like the great thing about meals like Green Chili Burros is that you can make it a salad so easily! So that is what I did! Now caveat, this isn't exactly my mom's green chili burros recipe. By the time she had responded to me with what she does to make it it was too late, my green chili burro meat was in the crockpot. I have to say though, upon eating my green chili burros salad, I feel like I hit the mark. It was delicious, and a lot healthier without tortillas or sour cream! So if you're looking for an easy, tasty salad for dinner look no further! This Green Chili Burros Salad is for you!

I told you last week you'd have to come back to get my recipe for Vegan Lasagna, using the Vegan ricotta cheese I made.
Well, here it is! Lasagna is pretty standard when it comes to assembly, but I like to make my own sauce instead of the pre-made kinds which always taste weird to me. If I had more time and energy I would have used tomatoes instead of canned. I did get the unadulterated sauce though, so it still worked out great. I also love doing it this way because, as you can see, I snuck some extra veggies in there, and nobody was the wiser. #Healthyeatingwin I don't give measurements for the seasoning because 1. I have no idea 2. You do you! Nobody is the same. I love garlicky taste, but I feel like you need the oregano to come through clearly as well. Maybe you disagree with me. That is ok. That is the fun of homemade sauce my friends. Now, here is a secret. If you are like me, not vegan, but making vegan things for vegan friends/family members, then follow this tip for regular lasagna. Add Parmesan cheese to your sauce. I could not find a vegan Parmesan, so Maddy had to go without. However, she had two servings of this vegan lasagna, and she took the rest of it (as well as the vegan ricotta cheese) home with her. So, there you go. I'll take two servings as a win and say that this vegan lasagna is delicious.
