Snow day! Even for Big Mama. It's a state of emergency in our town and I didn't have to go to work. Of course, it practically is work, with all the things the HR person has to do to cancel work in a factory, but I get to do it in my jammies, so that's a plus.
Oh my goodness! You'll never guess. I ate spinach. In my smoothie! It was fantastic!
I had a comment on my last smoothie recipe that she put kale in her smoothie. Kale? Really?I thought to myself, "She's a better woman that me..." and went about my day.
Saturday at the farmers market I purchased some fresh spinach. I thought I'd make some Sneaky Tomato Soup, but ended up not being in the mood for it. I hated to see it go to waste, so I thought I'd just cook it up and freeze it to add to something later. Then I remembered the kale.
I am a brave woman. I am! So I took a deep breath, pulled the leaves off a couple of handfuls or spinach leaves and punched the puree button on my normally luscious orange-banana smoothie. And guess what?
I was good. The same. YUMMY. And I drank it and so did the little mouths. They even liked it until they saw is was a very bright green. Howya like that?
