Breakfast - Raspberry Peach Smoothie
I had meant to make this smoothie last Thursday before leaving for Louisiana, but at 3:30am it just wasn't happening. I have been wondering if there is a fine art to smoothies and am welcoming specific recipes of them. I liked the idea of a raspberry/peach combo and really liked the addition of vanilla extract in this recipe (I left out the extra Splenda).
Things I learned from this recipe:
Vanilla extract in a smoothie is a very interesting addition.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Yes. Probably tomorrow.
The recipe
Lunch - Italian Bread Salad (Panzanella)
I had half a baguette leftover from dinner last night and thought this recipe would be perfect, and it definitely was. I saw a variation online where the person added mozzarella cheese. I could definitely see doing that. I liked the red wine vinegar and the freshness of the dish a lot. I wished the bread was slightly less cooked, but it didn't matter much.
Things I learned from this recipe:
I would really like for it to be summer so I could get fresh tomatoes and mozzarella from the Farmer's Market.
Would I make this recipe again:
Definitely
The recipes:
This one is similar to what I made or this blog uses the recipe from Cooks Illustrated which is almost identical to the one I made.
