Blistered Shishito Peppers

Shishito peppers are popping up in the stores these days. I just bought some from Trader Joe’s! Like…a lot of them. I usually throw them on the grill with a little bit of olive oil and some kosher salt but yesterday I didn’t feel like turning on the grill. I just sautéed them in a non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil and salt…turned the gas on high and cooked them until they blistered & softened. Within a few minutes I created a very healthy/satisfying and I didn’t have to man the grill.

By the way…they’re amazing on pizza!

Tropical Smoothie Bowls

I fell out of love with smoothies awhile ago. I didn’t really mean too….it’s just that I prefer to eat food rather than drink it. But then Tropical Smoothie Bowls entered the picture.

But recently….I fell in love HARD with smoothie bowls because it’s a smoothie IN A BOWL.

It’s a thicker smoothie— one you eat with a spoon. No straw necessary.

Just a spoon and TOPPINGS.

And it’s allllll about the toppings. Because it’s almost like having a bowl frozen yogurt with fruit!

I made this here tropical smoothie bowl in partnership with ALOHA. I’m so excited to be working with them as I LOVE their green powders & superfood chocolate bars. For this recipe I mixed frozen bananas with frozen berries, coconut cream, pineapples and fortified the smoothie with a packet of Aloha’s Daily Good Greens Powder. For toppings, I added fresh bananas, pineapple, raspberries and toasted coconut for some extra crunch. Talk about healthy!

I think it’s safe to say that I made this recipe for two and ended up eating both servings. Sorry, Cooper! Obviously, I didn’t want the smoothie bowl goodness to end.

Pizza Rolls

It’s Sunday night and I’ve got a mountain of laundry waiting to be folded, a stiff cocktail by my side, and an episode of Mad Men on my DVR to dive into so I’ll keep this brief. Two words: Pizza Rolls

PIZZA ROLLS ARE LIKE CINNAMON ROLLS BUT WITH PIZZA TOPPINGS!

The sauce! The cheese! The pepperoni and the basil! It’s all too good. The cheese melts and pepperoni meld together inside of the rolls while the inside marinara seeps out of the bottom…mixing with melted cheese to make an incredible crust. Can’t get enough!
