4/4/2021 1 Comment Great Greens Smoothie This is a blast from the past that I read in a Self Magazine diet plan. I do like a green drink, and this one is an easy option. The addition of orange juice is nice; I use fresh or just throw in fresh orange slices. When I'm out of protein powder I like recipes like this that help fill me up with simple add ins, like flax seeds. Great Greens Smoothie
Self Magazine, April 2011 1 1/2 cups soy milk 1 cup spinach 1/2 banana 2 1/2 tablespoons flax seed 1/4 cup orange juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Blend until smooth. Note: To make bigger, use 2 cups soy milk and 1 full banana.

Gram's Banana Cake
Penzey's Spices CAKE 2 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup butter 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons baking soda 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups ripe bananas, mashed 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease and flour 3 9" cake pans and set aside. 2. Mash the bananas and place in a measuring cup. Cream the butter and sugar together until well mixed. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture and beat well. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla and mix well. 3. Divide evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool a few minutes and remove from pans. Cool completely before frosting. FROSTING 5 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup butter, softened 2-4 tablespoons brewed black coffee Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa together into a large bowl. Add the softened butter and mix on very low speed until they are incorporated. Add the coffee starting with 2 tablespoons and mix until it reaches your desired spreading consistency. I ended up adding too much coffee and added Xanthan gum to thicken it back up. Again, I am not a fan of powdered sugar/random liquid based frostings!... help. |
Jen's Kitchen...is the smallest kitchen ever. We used to watch those decorating shows that said they were doing small kitchens and then could see that 4 of my kitchens would fit in their "small kitchens".
