Phillips family farm

A couple weeks ago we took everyone to a local farm, turned reserve. Lots of open Palouse beauty, and old productive orchards. Once a year, a group puts together stations to press cider, catch pond life, and take hay rides. All by donation. We had a blast and even ended up on the cover of the local paper. The picture of all of us is the clip from the paper.

Smoothie

The kids are very much into making smoothies. And this morning we tried this recipe. It's adapted from whole living.

1 banana
1 cup chopped kale
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 cup coconut milk

Blend until smooth.

I loved it. The monkeys hated it.
