Resolutions ... who needs 'em?

Aren't we just going to promise to do better, to be better today, and then forget all about it tomorrow or next week?

Maybe. But, maybe not... if we try to eat a little more healthfully (an inviting proposition after the excess of the holidays around here), and start off with a fruity smoothie. Can eating better really be this easy? And delicious?

You bet! Here's to a happy and healthy 2010! We wish you all the best in the coming year.

What are your New Year's Resolutions for 2010????
Leave us a comment and let us know!
Is there anything we can do here in our Welcoming Kitchen to help you meet your goals??


This smoothie recipe (the first of many, I'm sure) is adapted from our book, The Everything Organic Cooking for Baby and Toddler Book (Adams Media, 2008). (Please note that although that book is packed with delicious recipes and information, it is not a Welcoming Kitchen book, so it's not gluten- or allergy-free, but it is veg-friendly.)

1/2 frozen banana

  1. Mmm! You know, even with snow on the ground, my day just doesn't kick off right without a smoothie. Haven't used apple juice, sounds like a good sweetener!
