Two years ago we brought a little “baby girl Holt” home from the hospital. Happy Birthday, Alice! You are a joy to watch grow, and a blessing indeed! 
Sneaky Spinach

We made a crazy smoothie this morning. It had…. spinach!!! I was turned on to this idea from Keeper of the Home‘s blog. It was a great addition! It is a good way to get veggies into the tummy, and the flavor isn’t really noticed when blended with fruits.
Sneaky Spinach Smoothie
* 1 cupish leftover oat/almond pulp (from making oat and almond milk – see last weeks blog for recipes!)
* handful of spinach
* 3/4 banana leftover from toddler breakfast
* squirt of honey
Alice enjoyed her smoothie. She requested a shot-glass refill 3 times!

I have lots of raspberry mead ready to go (back center), blueberry ready soon (right). I just bottled my batch of ginger mead (front) and started a new batch of mint mead (left).

Yes, I have a fever…. and the only prescription is more homemade non-dairy milks!! And so, I introduce you to this recipe for Almond Milk from the Start Fresh by Tyler Florence. Compared to the Oat Milk this was a labor of love, but the results were pleasing.
Here is a poorly copied page from the book. But it captures the steps well. I ended up saving my “almond pulp” and used some for a smoothie with bananas and honey – yum!

A bit dated perhaps, but I love this commentary on the financial crisis. Starts at 0:30.
