Baking - Apple Tart Tatain

Tart tatain is a super easy fruit tart that can be made with just about any fruit.

Start with recipe with a simple pie crust.  Unfold the crust.  Center the fruit in the middle of the crust.  Fold up the edges of the crust and bake.  SO EASY!!!

Don't feel pressured to make a homemade crust.  You can also make this recipe with a store bought refrigerator crust.  (I like Pillsbury, but use what you like).

Unfold pie crust on a cookie sheet or other flat pan.  Center fruit (sliced fresh apples, drained canned peaches or frozen berries).  Sprinkle berries with 2-3 Tablespoons of sugar.  Fold up the edges of the crust around the fruit.

Bake at 350 degrees until crust is brown and fruit is tender.

That's it!

This morning - Crazy Easy Mango Smoothie

I've been trying to find a smoothie that's easy, healthy and doesn't require a lot of ingriedients or measuring.  This morning I blended frozen mango and pineapple juice.  Voila - smoothie!

It was creamy and delicious and took just seconds to make. 

I'm been watching The Chew on ABC and Daphne Oz says that I her parents always added vitamins to their morning smoothie.  So, I added 1/8 teaspoon of Ester C (I bought the tablets and ground them in my coffee grinder) and 1 teaspoon of psillium husks (for added fiber). 

I used my ice tube tray from yesterday to freeze the left overs into popsicle's for after school.  Stealth health AND a frozen treat.  You can't go wrong with that!

In case you missed it, here's the recipe again
