Home sweet home. There is something about the first pancakes on the deck on a sunny summer morning that makes a new place feel like home. My boys devour these nutrient-loaded banana-oatmeal-chia hotcakes, typically with peanut butter and a splash of syrup, while I like to top mine with almond butter and berries.

We are still working our way through the delicious Castello cheese rounds that I received as part of this Castello Moments Alps Selection Cheeses sampling. After making my Castello Moments Alps Selection Three-Cheese flat breads last week, I remembered an appetizer that my mom made so often at dinner parties when I was little.

Strawberry picking is a summer tradition for my family, always followed by some form of strawberry shortcake. This year we churned our strawberry shortcake into ice cream. Homemade French vanilla ice cream marbled with strawberry puree and crumbled pound cake may be one of my new absolute favorites.

Inspired by one of my family’s favorite appetizers {Stuffed Jalapenos}, a recipe which I will share with you soon, I decided to stuff some mini sweet peppers that were leftover from a Cinco de Mayo fiesta at my son’s preschool. A variation of my quinoa “taco” salad {without chicken} was a healthy stuffing that was easy to mound inside the small peppers.

We often freeze leftover smoothies into popsicles and now that the summer sun is here, we will start making smoothies just for that reason. These mango-pineapple smoothies-turned popsicles are sweet, refreshing, {yellow} and one of my boys’ favorites.

My oldest son wanted to make a mango-pineapple smoothie like one that he had tried at McDonald’s. By using real fruits and yogurt instead of the processed sugary mixes you can control the amount of sugar and ensure that your family is getting all of the vitamins and nutrients from the ingredients.

These healthy chocolate banana oat bars {homemade energy bars} taste just like the moist chocolate banana cookies that my mom always made for my sister and me. Wishing all of you mommies a Happy Mother’s Day!
