Smoothies are similar to milkshakes so most kids love them. (My son does!) This smoothie is loaded with antioxidants and makes a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack.

This powdered sugar glaze is a great drizzle for pound cakes, hot cross buns, cakes and kransekake, among other things. It is sweet, light and runnier than most traditional frostings.

In my mind, homemade berry jam is in another league than store-bought variations. And I love how fresh the freezer versions taste compared to the cooked and canned jellies. Each bite transports me to the berry patch as I taste the freshly-picked berries and remember all of the fun berry-picking excursions with my grandma and mom when I was little.

Similar to crêpes and Swedish pancakes, these Norwegian pancakes are a favorite in my family. They are a fun meal because you can serve them with a smorgasbord of toppings and fillings.

Nachos are a fun and colorful way to serve a meal to your family and they are also the perfect party fare. While the tortilla chips are a splurge, the loaded nachos provide a lean protein, vegetables and calcium. Load ’em up with lime chicken {or your favorite meat}, beans, guacamole, salsa and chopped tomatoes and let everyone dig in.

Let each person add the ingredients of choice to a Ziploc bag. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 8-13 minutes. Open the bags and the omelets will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Everyone gets involved in the meal process and breakfast becomes a great conversation piece!

My favorite time of year to make this salsa is in the summer and early fall when we are harvesting the tomatoes and peppers from our garden. It is great in many dishes, including fish tacos, omelettes and fajitas.

We incorporate this salsa verde into many of our dishes. Outside of traditional Mexican food, it is also excellent for marinating chopped ham and sausage for breakfast dishes. Make it as spicy (or not spicy) as you would like by adjusting the peppers in the mix.

Made with low-fat yogurt, this potato salad is a healthier version of the favorite American side dish and yet it is still creamy. It is best when it has time to chill and marinate overnight.

You can’t go wrong with soft and chewy peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss. These cookies are great for parties and gifts because they look festive and yet they’re easy to make.
