You know what I love? Smoothies. They are so simple to make, especially if you like buying and freezing your fruit in bulk. There is no summer where our freezer isn’t packed with frozen strawberries, bananas, and recently papayas (story for another time). That said, one of the old classics is the chocolate peanut butter … Read more
