I am back with another California Wine Club review! For March, I received a Kiara 2007 Private Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. As I have said before, I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I do have a glass of wine a few times a month and have tried several flavors and wineries.

In Volume One – Issue Two of Penzeys One Magazine I ran across a simple yet intriguing recipe for Banana Smoothies. Unlike the smoothies of my past, this smoothie was very thin and only took a few ingredients. It is a perfect, refreshing drink and a great way to sneak in some calcium and fruit into your kiddies menu. Oh, and for those who were wondering like I was, the secret to these Banana Smoothies is a small addition of almond extract. Secret Banana Smoothies…
