If your kids are like mine, they turn their noses up at vegetables. Every chance I get, I sneak veggies to them without their knowledge. My favorite, most liked way to do that is with a smoothie.

I needed something as a quick side dish that would be received with happiness….

Not being one to waste some perfectly good ginger pieces used in tea, I have been adding them to smoothies. I think I have discovered a new family favorite around here.

When I was in high school, my favorite breakfast was blueberry muffins. My parents used to buy a giant tray of muffins from Costco every couple of months. The tray had blueberry, banana nut and chocolate chip muffins. Blueberry was always my breakfast of choice. This tray of muffins was delicious because it was as close to fresh-baked muffins as we got in our house.

It always felt like a special morning treat to have a fresh blueberry muffin for breakfast….
