#herb smoothie cookie

[quibbs126]

herb cookie x parfait cookie please?

Doing this today just kind of spoke to me I guess. Well anyways, this is Herb Smoothie Cookie

The initial vibe I had for her was hippie, but she’s not like a 60s hippie. I don’t really know what she is. But she’s a vegan, drinks a lot of green smoothies, probably goes thrift shopping, and speaks in a really relaxed and serene way. She also works in a library

She probably has some connection to plants, though admittedly I never figured that part out. Maybe she tends to the plants around her library. I can also imagine plants growing on her, and/or the places she goes, if that’s anything

She also has a very hard time seeing without her glasses

That’s about it for her in terms of what I have. Not all that much, sorry

Herb Smoothie is technically based on green smoothies, but Herb Smoothie works as a way to connect her back to her dad. It was suggested to me, but I think the logic is that it’s plant based like Herb, and something about smoothies and parfaits. Not sure what but I can see them like, being similar? I don’t know what I’m talking about

Green smoothies:

Her legs were originally in a different pose, but with the long skirt, I had to change where one of the legs was. You can’t really tell though, since the skirt covers it

She also was originally going to have long hair, but I wanted to put the sticks in her hair (I think it was originally going to be straws but shifted to sticks), and so I put in the bun, and I realized that it looked better like that. She does still technically have long hair though. Don’t know how she keeps it all up though

I was struggling with what I wanted to put her in, in part because I wasn’t sure what her vibe was and what to look up (hippie did not help). I kind of ended up just slapping on the sweater from one of Herb’s costumes and then a long skirt

Also that pattern on her skirt was kind of on the fly, and it was just me messing with it until I got the plaid look. That’s why the coloring of it is kind of uneven, it’s all on one layer (the pattern I mean)

I do wonder if I should have given her a different style of glasses, but whatever, I was too lazy to do that

Overall I think her design is pretty neat, it works well

And yeah, I think that’s about it for Herb Smoothie. Hope you like her!

How to Make Healthy Eating Fun for Kids

Getting kids excited about healthy eating can be a challenge, but with a little creativity, you can make nutritious meals and snacks enjoyable for the whole family! Here are some fun and engaging tips to encourage your children to embrace healthy eating habits:

Get Creative with Presentation

Why it Works: Kids are more likely to try foods that look fun and interesting.

Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of fruits, vegetables, and sandwiches. Arrange food on the plate to create faces, animals, or scenes. For example, use cucumber slices for eyes, a carrot stick for a nose, and cherry tomatoes for a smile.

Involve Kids in Meal Prep

Why it Works: When kids help in the kitchen, they feel more invested in what they’re eating.

Let kids wash vegetables, stir ingredients, or help measure out portions. Older kids can assist with chopping or cooking under supervision. Giving them a role in meal prep makes them feel like they’re part of the process and more likely to enjoy the meal.

Make a DIY Snack Station

Why it Works: Offering choices gives kids a sense of control over what they eat.

Set up a snack station with a variety of healthy options like sliced fruits, veggie sticks, nuts, yogurt, and whole-grain crackers. Let kids mix and match to create their own snack combinations.

Play Food-Related Games

Why it Works: Turning mealtime into a game can make trying new foods fun.

Try games like “taste testing” where kids are blindfolded and guess the healthy food they’re eating, or create a bingo card with different fruits and veggies to try. You can also set up a “color challenge” where kids aim to eat a rainbow of foods throughout the week.

Introduce Fun Names for Foods

Why it Works: Fun names can make foods more appealing to kids.

Instead of calling it broccoli, call it “dinosaur trees,” or refer to carrots as “superpower sticks.” Giving healthy foods playful names can make them seem more exciting and enticing to children.

Make Smoothies Together

Why it Works: Smoothies are a delicious way to pack in nutrients, and kids love the chance to make their own drinks.

Let kids choose their favorite fruits and veggies to blend together. Add a bit of yogurt or milk, and maybe a touch of honey for sweetness. Kids can create their own smoothie “recipes” and experiment with different flavors.

Grow a Mini Garden

Why it Works: Kids are more likely to eat foods they’ve grown themselves.

Start a small garden with easy-to-grow herbs, vegetables, or fruits. Even if you don’t have outdoor space, you can grow herbs like basil and mint in pots indoors. Watching plants grow and then using them in meals can be a rewarding experience for kids.

Make Healthy Eating a Family Affair

Why it Works: Kids learn by example, so seeing the whole family enjoy healthy foods encourages them to do the same.

Plan family meals where everyone eats the same healthy dishes. Try new foods together and talk about their flavors, textures, and how they make you feel. Make healthy eating a positive and shared experience.

Host a Food-Themed Party

Why it Works: A themed party can make healthy eating an event to look forward to.

Pick a theme like “fruit fiesta” or “veggie adventure” and prepare healthy snacks that fit the theme. You can also include food-related crafts or activities, such as making fruit kabobs or veggie faces.

Reward with Non-Food Incentives

Why it Works: Encouraging kids to try new foods shouldn’t always be about treats or sweets.

Instead of dessert as a reward, offer non-food rewards like stickers, a small toy, or extra playtime. This helps create positive associations with trying new and healthy foods.

Making healthy eating fun for kids is all about creativity, involvement, and setting a positive example. By making mealtimes enjoyable and interactive, you can encourage your children to develop a lifelong love for nutritious foods. Remember, the goal is to create a positive relationship with food, so be patient, keep things light-hearted, and celebrate their healthy choices!

Getting Started

Clear the decks. Take everything out of your pantry, give it a hard look and decide what you can get rid of. Be ruthless. If you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it.

Keep what looks and smells good. “Expiration,” “sell by,” and “best by” dates are not good guidelines. Some are determined by regulators, others by manufacturers, and almost all are arbitrary. Properly stored, some (unopened) ingredients, like canned fish, can last for years; others, like dried herbs, start declining in quality the moment they are sealed in a container.

Assess what remains. Then organize it according to the logic that makes sense to you: There’s no single best system. Your nut butters might be with the condiments, or the breakfast items, or the baking supplies.

Fill in the blanks with food that will make you a better cook. Each of the pantry lists below is a proposal, not a prescription. There’s no reason to stock black beans if you only like red. There’s no need to have everything here available at all times. You’ll know your pantry is well stocked for your purposes when most of the time, you need only add one or two fresh ingredients to cook one of our recipes from scratch. Or even better, none.

The Essential Pantry

The foundation layer for all three pantries, this is where everyone should start. There’s so much to be done with these basics. The rule here is stock your pantry mostly with what you’re confident using, and what you love to eat. You’ll turn to it again and again.

Oils and vinegars: Extra-virgin olive oil, neutral cooking oil (such as canola or grapeseed), red-wine vinegar, white vinegar or white-wine vinegar.

Cans and jars: Tuna in olive oil, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock or vegetable stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). A good-tasting, simple tomato sauce can become a soup or a stew, or make a quick dinner with pasta or polenta.

Spices and dried herbs: Kosher salt, red-pepper flakes, ground cayenne, curry powder, bay leaves, black peppercorns, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, garlic powder or granulated garlic, dried thyme and dried oregano. This selection will take you through everything from a basic beef stew to Saturday morning pancakes to Thanksgiving dinner.

Grains and starches: Long-grain white rice, one or two other grains (such as quinoa or farro), dry pasta (one long, one short and chunky), plain bread crumbs, crackers, canned beans (white beans, black beans and-or chickpeas), dry lentils.

Nuts and nut butters: Walnuts, almonds, roasted peanuts, peanut butter (smooth and crunchy).

Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, granulated sugar.

Preserves and pickles: Fruit jams and preserves, anchovies.

Condiments and sauces: Basic vinaigrette, mustard (yellow or Dijon), mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, salsa, soy sauce.

Produce: Garlic, onions, all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), lemons, shelf-stable tofu (Essential for vegetarians, Expanded for others).

Dairy: Eggs, unsalted butter, cheeses (Cheddar, Jack or Colby, Parmesan), milk or cream for cooking (not skim).

Freezer: Chicken parts, sausages, thick fish fillets, shrimp, thick-sliced bread (for toast), spinach (and other vegetables such as corn and peas), berries (and other fruit such as peaches and mango). Some fruits and vegetables take particularly well to freezing — and in most growing seasons, the quality is better than fresh. Frozen fruit is useful for baking and smoothies.

Baking: All-purpose flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, pure vanilla extract, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, confectioners’ sugar, bittersweet baking chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, raisins or another dried fruit, cocoa powder. With these ingredients on hand, thousands of cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, quick breads and other sweets can be produced without a trip to the store.

The Expanded Pantry

For the cook who has a grasp of the basics, but wants to be able to stretch toward new options and flavors. Here, long-lasting, punchy ingredients like tahini, hoisin sauce, coconut milk, sherry vinegar and capers are stocked alongside classics: limes with lemons, jasmine rice as well as long-grain, almond butter in addition to peanut butter.

Oils and vinegars: Peanut oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sherry or balsamic vinegar, apple-cider vinegar.

Cans and jars: Sardines, unsweetened coconut milk, whole Italian plum tomatoes, beef stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). Whole plum tomatoes are rarely called for in recipes, but they tend to be the ripest and best-quality fruit. They can be diced or crushed to use in a recipe — or drained and slow-roasted for an intense topping on omelets, salads, grain bowls or pizza.

Spices: Flaky salt, single-chile powders (such as ancho and pasilla), ground coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, cardamom, za’atar, allspice, fennel seeds, dry mustard, garam masala (a basic Indian mix of warm spices), five-spice powder (a basic Chinese mix of spices), whole nutmegs.

Grains and starches: Rice noodles, basmati or jasmine rice, brown rice, panko bread crumbs, dry beans.

Nuts and nut butters: Almond butter, tahini, pecans.

Preserves and pickles: Olives (oil-cured and-or in brine), capers in brine. These ingredients, served with good bread and butter, make an elegant appetizer with wine, or everyday snack.

Condiments and sauces: Worcestershire sauce, hoisin, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, anchovy paste, harissa.

Produce: Russet potatoes, carrots, celery, limes, ginger, avocados, parsley, cilantro, scallions, jalapeños. Keeping chiles, aromatics and herbs on hand gives you instant access to intensely fresh flavors, even for — maybe especially for — the simplest dishes you cook.

Dairy: Plain full-fat yogurt, more intense cheeses (pecorino, feta), salted butter.

Freezer: Pancetta, artichoke hearts, homemade stock, homemade bread crumbs, fresh pasta, vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cut and peeled winter squash, chopped onions), cooked grains. Prepared ingredients like chopped onions and cooked grains speed your route to dinner.

Baking: Cake flour, whole-wheat flour, dark baking chocolate, vanilla beans, almond extract, powdered gelatin, molasses, light corn syrup, buttermilk powder, active dry yeast.

The Expert Pantry

For the cook who likes taking global flavors, new methods and viral recipes for a spin. Here, the chiles get hotter, the chocolates darker and the cheeses funkier. These ingredients are just a fraction of what’s out there, but by stocking them, you will be able to cook almost any recipe you come across and experiment with creating your own.

Spices: Hot smoked paprika (pimentón), sumac, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, flaky dried chiles (such as Aleppo, Urfa or Maras), dried whole chiles (like ancho and arból), marjoram, dukkah, baharat, shichimi. Whether you stock spice mixes like baharat (a mix of warm spices used in the Middle East) or shichimi (a Japanese blend of ground chiles and sesame seeds) will depend on the global flavors that most appeal to you.

Grains and starches: Short-grain rice, dried pastas (bucatini, mezzi rigatoni or farfalle), spelt, pearl barley.

Nuts and nut butters: Pine nuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), pistachios. Toasted nuts like these (not as everyday as almond and peanuts) are good in salads and granola, on roasted fish, or just with olives for a classic pre-dinner snack.

Preserves and pickles: Pickled hot peppers, cornichons, kimchi, preserved lemons, roasted chiles, horseradish, caperberries, dried sausages such as saucisson sec and chorizo. The intense flavors of pickled and salted ingredients can be a great pick-me-up for mild dishes. In cooking, you can often substitute a bit of preserved lemon for regular lemon, or use the brine from cornichons as part of the liquid in a recipe.

Condiments and sauces: Gochujang, mango chutney, miso, wasabi, dark soy sauce, Chinese oyster sauce, Asian chili bean pastes.

Produce: Shallots, fresh mint, fresh rosemary, lemongrass, fresh Serrano and Thai bird chiles, fresh bay leaves.

Dairy: Ghee, crème fraîche, aged cheeses (Gruyère, blue cheese). Ghee (Indian-style clarified butter) and crème fraîche can reach much higher temperatures than butter, yogurt and sour cream without burning or breaking, so they are useful in cooking.

Freezer: Edamame, curry leaves, makrut lime leaves, merguez (spicy lamb sausages from North Africa). Fragrant leaves like makrut lime and curry (not the spice mix, but an Indian tree with scented leaves) are much more powerful in frozen form than dried.

Baking: Bread flour, pectin, almond flour, tapioca pearls, rose and orange flower waters, gelatin sheets, black cocoa, currants, fresh yeast, sparkling sugar, pearl sugar, candied citrus rinds

Best Practices

Once you have your ingredients, remember that cooking will always create change and disorder. Cans of tomatoes may never match, spices may never live in matching containers, and your hot sauce collection may always try to take over the condiment shelf. But here are a few final thoughts on how to keep your pantry well stocked and well organized enough to be truly useful.

ORGANIZING TIPS

Cooks with different styles need different systems. Some people store the jam with the dried fruits and maple syrup; others associate it with peanut butter, mustard and mayonnaise. The best logic is your own, and it may take some time to figure that out.

If you can’t see it, you’re probably not going to use it. A storage space with more shelving is the most efficient configuration for ingredients. Drawers or slide-out shelves also help tremendously with visibility.

Store everything you can in clear containers. Airtight plastic ones are best, and available in many shapes, sizes, and systems. Rectangular shapes make the best use of space.

Keep a roll of painter’s tape and some permanent markers in a kitchen drawer. It’ll help you make quick labels.

MAXIMIZING INGREDIENTS

Be realistic about your habits. It’s great to clean and trim a week’s worth of vegetables at once — but if you’re not going to do that, buy smaller quantities.

Buy ground spices in the smallest quantities you can find (except for spices you use regularly). Specialty companies will ship as little as an ounce, about 3 tablespoons. You’ll save space and produce better, brighter flavors in your food.

Buy fresh herbs. Dried herbs used to be a pantry essential, but most start out with very little flavor and lose it quickly in storage. (A couple of exceptions are dried oregano and dried thyme.) Pick up fresh herbs when you need them for a particular recipe; it’s a better investment of money and storage space.

Buy heavy, shelf-stable ingredients like boxed broth and canned tomatoes in bulk; better yet, order them online to save time and irritation. Almost any delivery service or website will offer a better price on these items than a brick-and-mortar store.

Cooked ingredients are much easier to use up than raw ones. Whether you steam, boil, pan-fry or roast, cook anything in your refrigerator that looks tired. You can always use it in a salad, a grain bowl or a pasta.

Learn about plant-based sources of these nutrients to ensure you're nourishing your body optimally. Incorporating a variety of foods will help you meet your nutritional goals.

Embracing Culinary Creativity:

The vegan and gluten-free journey is an opportunity to embrace culinary creativity like never before. Explore new grains like quinoa and amaranth, and experiment with plant-based protein sources such as lentils, beans, and tofu. Mix and match spices, herbs, and sauces to create tantalizing flavors that elevate your meals to a whole new level.

From Breakfast to Dessert: Vegan and Gluten-Free Delights:

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert – the vegan and gluten-free world has options to satisfy every craving. Start your day with creamy chia seed pudding or a hearty smoothie bowl. Dive into nourishing salads, flavorful stir-fries, and satisfying curries for lunch and dinner. And don't forget to indulge in vegan and gluten-free desserts like avocado chocolate mousse or almond flour cookies.

Empowering Your Well-Being:

Beyond the plate, embracing vegan and gluten-free eating empowers your well-being on multiple levels. Improved digestion, increased energy levels, clearer skin, and a strengthened immune system are just some of the benefits reported by those who have embraced this lifestyle. It's a testament to the transformative potential of conscious dietary choices.
