Everyday Green Smoothie
We call this Everyday Green Smoothie because there have been weeks in our life where we literally drank this EVERY DAY!

Read MoreFrittata With Potatoes, Scallions, and Greens
I originally posted this recipe in 2014, when I first started blogging.

One of the most beloved vegetables in our house is the beet, a root crop veggie that’s become a lunch-time side staple for Harper (age 6), Asher (almost 4!), and me. Lightly steamed beets sprinkled with sea salt are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. If you think you don’t like beets, I…
