Hi everyone, and welcome back to a new segment of Storm Style‘s Lifestyle section! If you have come here, you are in for a real treat. The theme for this Spring’s cooking edition is “Three Ingredients Or Less Snacks/Desserts.” Each recipe included is healthy, easy, and quick to make!
Recipe #1: DIY Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup frozen fruit
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4-1/2 cup greens of your choice (arugula, spinach, kale, etc.)
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend until completely combined.
Recipe #2: Baked Apples
Ingredients:
- as many apples as you like
- cinnamon
Instructions:
Spray a pan with baking spray. Place the apples inside. Poke holes in each apple using a fork to prevent them from bursting. Then sprinkle cinnamon over each apple. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 2-3 hours until the apples have become soft and mushy.
Recipe #3: Meringues
Ingredients:
7 egg whites
2 cups sugar
Pinch of Cream of Tartar
Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a bowl with an electric mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-low speed for 2-3 minutes. Then up the speed to medium-high and beat for another 5-8 minutes until stiff peaks form. Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 275 degrees F for about 3 hours.
***The more you bake them the crunchier they will get. If you like your meringues totally firm, bake them for another 2 hours.
