Blueberry Smoothie

Don't think that the blueberry challenge was lost on us! While we did have a few other ideas we didn't have time to make, Alex and I have both had lots of smoothies that had blueberries in 'em.

Honey Oat and Blueberry Pancakes

I gave blueberry pancakes another try because this recipe looked so good! This one is the winner! Soooo tasty! Check out the video below, I did not coach them, they just kept making "mmm" and "yum" noises so I took a video of it. (It's not lost on me that I was feeding them pancakes for dinner so that is probably what heightened the yumminess factor)

Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes

So the ingredient hasn't been officially announced but I got the inside scoop a week or two ago and made these because I had an ingredient I needed to get rid of. I'll leave the announcement to Jamie or you can guess! These pancakes were a Giada recipe and they were pretty good although the texture was more like a crepe instead of a pancake!





Chocolate-covered Pineapple

We tend to keep a lot of frozen fruit in our freezer during the summer months for making smoothies. Since we had pineapple frozen already, we decided to melt some chocolate in a double-boiler and dip chunks of the frozen pineapple in it. It turned out great, and it tastes mighty good too!

Kebabs

I thought this recipe was meant to be but it was clearly just messing with my head. I bought a $1 bag of bananas a the grocery store and it had two plantains in it! I was excited because I hadn't tried them before. When I was trying to figure out what to do with them I came across this recipe that also used pineapple so I decided to try it. It was pretty bleh. I should have just fried the plantains in butter. To be fair...they probably would have been better if I had made them on an outdoor grill instead of inside on the George Foreman grill...  

Pineapple!

On the grill,

and with ice cream!

Pineapple Muffins

I made Pineapple Muffins over the weekend and thought they were great! I made a mini version instead of the normal size so they were a little overdone (but not burnt!) because I wasn't sure how long they should stay in.
