Blueberry-Cucumber Smoothie

[portfolio_slideshow]

Barely Adapted From Vegetarian Times
See more recipes here

The last few days have felt like fall around here: rainy and a little cool.  We’ve been wearing sweaters and jeans almost as often as not, but we still have plenty of delicious farm fresh veggies to work our way through.  A couple of weeks ago, I discovered this recipe just in time for huge shares of cucumbers from our CSA.  It’s now a favorite request of Nora’s and I wanted to share it with you before summer ended.  Hopefully you have a few more good weeks left in cucumber season; it looks like we may be running out of time here on Nantucket!

Ingredients

  • 2 large garden or lemon (or a mix) cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.  Be smarter than me and place the cucumbers in first — then you won’t have to stop to push everything down.  Additionally, smoothie can be frozen into Popsicle molds for a delicious and healthy alternative to store bought treats.  Serves 3-4.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
