Quite honestly, we sometimes find it challenging to get Molly (age 2) to really down a good serving of vegetables or sometimes even fruit. For us, healthy juices and smoothies are a great way to sneak a super-size helping of nutrition into her diet. These three recipes are in regular rotation in our house. Blue …

Blueberry “frozen yogurt”
As the weather gets warmer, I start craving colder treats - here is one that is sweet and creamy enough to be a treat, but healthy enough to be a breakfast. It is nothing like what you would get at a frozen yogurt shop, but it has a great consistency similar to ice cream, and …

We got our ingredients together. 27 apples, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 5 1/4 cups water. We also got our tools together, apple cutters, knives, peelers, measuring …
