Green Smoothie

January 12, 2016 by It's Cooking With Magda

Here is a Green Smoothie recipe for anyone ready for a challenge and some health improvements. Drink it daily! I have been a fan of green smoothies for a long time now. I came across Kimberly Snyder’s Beauty Detox website and got interested in her health principals, detox phases, food pairings and eating guidelines.

February 24, 2015 by It's Cooking With Magda

One of a kind blueberry muffin: extremely moist, with lots of juicy blueberries, hint of coconut and a wonderful crunch. A must with your morning coffee. A few years ago my son came home from preschool with a mini blueberry muffin that he had helped to bake.
