Oh, Peaches...

What do you like most about the weekends? Is it a chance to get things done that didn't during the work week? or is time to relax, catch up on sleep or is it diving into that novel that's been sitting on the night table?

Well here's a quick smoothie to get you going no matter what the day brings. Use fresh fruit if it is season, if not frozen will work. I add a bit of yogurt for some protein and extra creaminess.

Remember protein and fiber will help you feel fuller longer if your dieting; and everybody needs some everyday.

Put these in the blender in the order listed.

3/4 cup (112 g) frozen unsweetened peach slices
1 orange, peeled, quartered
1/4 C Greek style yogurt.
1 teaspoon honey or other sweetener, to taste
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes

Run at high speed in the Vita Mix for about a minute. 
pour into a tall glass and enjoy.

Been too Long and Happy St. Pat's Day

Book of Irish Recipes



http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/An-Irish-Feast/Detail.aspx is a great link to find really good Irish recipes for the upcoming holiday. I find it facinating that all our major celebrations are centered around food.


I am always looking for new recipes to try, and different groups to join when it comes to cooking and and life n the kitchen. While looking for St. Patrick's Day recipes, I found these at one of sites I belong to.
If fact, Allrecipes is a nice website in general. It's almost like a social netwrk for foodies.
You just have to create a free account, and start posting recipes. It's always interesting to see how others cook, and how they rate your recipes.

Of course being of Irish decent I do love things Irish. I just have never gotten used to Irish Beer.

Well enjoy the holiday. Don't drink too much "Green Beer"!

You could face anything after this hearty breakfast of eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes fried with bacon and butter. Slices of Irish soda bread are grilled in the skillet and served on the side.
