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.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
