A number of months ago one of my roommates introduced me to the wonder that is the green smoothie. They're pretty amazing. Essentially you add fresh spinach to whatever smoothie you happen to be making and it turns your smoothie green without changing the flavor. So instead of having a healthy fruit smoothie with half your servings of fruit for the day, add some spinach and then you've got half your fruit and vegetables. A painless way to eat veggies, what could be better? I will warn you though, depending on what fruit you put in your smoothie the color of green can vary dramatically. If you're looking for a lovely light green I'd suggest more yellow fruits (like pineapple and mango).
Here is an attempt to chronicle my adventures in cooking. with luck more recipes will turn out well than not, though it is hard to say at this point. It is a challenge to describe a blog that has barely had time to even begin to take on it's own personality. Perhaps at another time. Although until then watch for the adventures from my kitchen.

Lemonade
Nothing is better than fresh squeezed lemonade made with homegrown lemons. Lemons off the tree in my backyard just make such a tasty treat. especially with mounds of sugar, and a frozen strawberry or two.
Lemonade
1 1/4 cups white sugar
5 2/3 cups water
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Boil the sugar and 1 cup water together till sugar is dissolved. chill. Mix it all together.
I like to use a little less sugar (scoop up a cup and then shake a little of the sugar out) and a little more lemon juice (but only a little) It's also good with a frozen strawberry or two as ice cubes. the strawberries add the perfect flavor.
