Managing mealtime with picky eaters is tricky. But with a bit of finesse, your kids will be on the fast track to healthy eating. One trick to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your little one’s diet is to utilize green smoothies. This way, they can get a bunch of nutrients in one drink, like this green smoothie, instead of trying to eat each fruit or vegetable separately.

Below, Behavioral Therapist Kelly Kinsey shares her favorite smoothie recipe as a “gateway to green” eating with kids. Discover more of her tips and tricks for rewriting your family’s food rules here. 

What Nutrients Are in this Green Smoothie? 

This smoothie gets its green color from the baby kale in it. Kale has Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and tons of calcium and fiber. So, from the get-go, this smoothie is a delicious way to get some healthy nutrients in. Coconut milk, which gives the smoothie a fuller body, is also incredibly rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Chia seeds are also a superfood, with 11 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber.

Snickers Cookies, Levain Bakery Style

Three large Snickers Levain Bakery cookies on a plate with a cup of coffee, a small vessel of creamer, and raw sugar on a spoon

Give in to an ooey gooey confectionary craving with our Snickers Cookies (Levain Bakery Style) recipe. We took it over the top with these delightful (and quite large) cookies, by using a copycat Levain Bakery recipe as a starter. If you’ve indulged in the infamous New York-based gooey cookie, you understand the appeal.

What is Levain Bakery?

Levain Bakery started in 1995 on New York’s Upper West Side, a project of Constance MacDonald and Pamela Weekes. They developed their signature cookie while training for an Ironman Triathlon, knowing they needed an immense amount of calories. Their gigantic 6oz gooey chocolate chip cookie came out of that need, and it served the purpose deliciously. (Let’s hope they didn’t run the Ironman right after eating that cookie, for their sake…) Since then, it’s gone on to spawn many copycats, including this Snickers cookie, which you can make if you’re not lucky enough to live in New York.  Just to note, the candy bars make this a very gooey cookie. You can cut back to 22 bars (approx. 3 cups) if you would like something a bit more crisp.

This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread recipe was inspired by the rare chance of excess Halloween candy (or maybe a regrettable sweet tooth splurge.) We can pretend the added bananas make the bread just a tad bit healthier…

7 Indoor Activities to Stay Busy During the Pittsburgh Winter

When temperatures drop and the rain starts to fall, it’s time to bring the fun indoors. Whether you’re looking for an exciting night out or a casual walk through a garden, Pittsburgh has you covered with plenty of ways to keep busy. Start marking your calendar with these seven indoor activities to stay warm and bustling. 

Arsenal Bowl

Combine a night out at the bar with friends and old-school bowling at Arsenal in Lawrenceville. The alley has 22 lanes and makes sure to keep the music going. Some nights, they host live music from bands around the city. Plus, if you work up an appetite, they have a food selection ranging from chicken sandwiches to pizza. 

Lumberjaxes Axe Throwing Bar

Axe throwing has gained popularity in the last few years for its friendly competition and adventurous spirit. At Lumberjaxes in Millvale, your group gets a private lane and multiple game options. Have a blast trying to get a bullseye while sipping on specialty-curated drinks. During the winter months, they also have a Sliders Ice Curling Bar with the same atmosphere and ice-curling games. 

Puttery

Mini golf is an in-demand summer activity, but this indoor course, combined with two full-service bars, makes it just as popular in the winter. Each of the three courses contains interactive props and decorations featuring unique themes. The Library course uses oversized books, the Lodge takes you to the Rocky Mountains, and the Garage makes cars an obstacle.

Phipp’s Conservatory

If you’re missing the outdoors and the bloom of flowers, Phipp’s is the best immersion into nature. There are plenty of plant and flower displays along with ponds, bridges, and trees to stroll along. The flower show changes seasonally, so there’s always something new to see under the natural sunlight.

Shorty’s Pins x Pints

If you’re not the best bowler, give duckpin bowling a try. This smaller take on the game has a ball that fits in your hand, leaving the other hand open for a pint of beer. Shorty’s is also retro-themed, from the drinks to the music. Grab some friends and reserve a lane, or try some of the other vintage games like foosball, shuffleboard, or pinball.

Escape Room Pittsburgh

For the people who enjoy puzzles, Escape Room Pittsburgh has six different rooms to try. You’ll have an hour to work through different riddles, gadgets, and mysteries to make it out. The Homestead location has rooms different from others in the city, too. One of the current featured rooms is called Carnegie’s Millions, based around the founder of Pittsburgh, Andrew Carnegie, and a secret society. 

Pinball Perfection

Something about the dings and lights of pinball machines makes them addictive. Thankfully, you can pay a flat rate at Pinball Perfection to play on over 300 devices for an hour. This is a hands-on museum featuring machines from the 1930s to modern times. Be sure to check out what new pinball restorations are happening while you’re there.

Three green plates with slices of Candy Corn Blondies on top.

Strong drinks and sweet treats, what else do you need for a stellar Halloween Party menu? Well, maybe some hearty protein and healthy carbs to counteract the mixture of sugar and alcohol. Here are some delicious recipes that will keep you and your guests from wandering too far down Bad Decision Lane!

Pickled Pumpkin Heads and Pickled Daikon and Rutabaga

Equally fun and delicious, this recipe for pickled pumpkin heads and daikon “bones” transforms into a nice chutney for a dinner of roasted meats. Your Halloween party menu isn’t complete without these edible, creepy decorations.

Zombie Cocktail

Ghoulish only by name, this Zombie cocktail brings that voodoo magic, awakening the senses of the undead.

Mom’s Basic Chili

Chili is filling and can look a little bit like blood and guts. Ideal for a spooky party, no?

Fudgy Peppermint Patty Brownies

This Halloween candy baked goods recipe is as simple as can be. The only trick is to pour only half the batter into the pan before adding chopped peppermint patties, and then covering them with the other half. Placing whole patties on top about 8 minutes before baking is complete gives just enough time for gentle melting and the gorgeous appearance of a bit of creamy mint.

Easy Fruit Dip

Ditch the added sugar from marshmallow fluff, and incorporate some local honey for sweetness. Add cubes of pound cake, pretzels, or graham crackers to a variety of your favorite berries and fruits to create a tasty fruit board. Might we suggest adding a little food coloring to this fruit dip for a Halloween-tinged upgrade?

Black Death Cocktail

A complex, creamy Halloween cocktail with notes of anise and the haunting darkness of a moonless night.

Lumpia with Bottle Gourd and Carrots

These Filipino spring rolls make a tasty and healthy appetizer for those not looking to indulge in sweets.

Rum Pecan Candy Corn Blondies

Because sugar and corn syrup are not really flavor profiles anyone brags about anymore, we worked up this blondie recipe with a key ingredient: spiced rum. It elevates the recipe’s components into something brag-worthy indeed.

Candied Apples

We think candied apples should be on the dessert menu for the entire fall season, not just for Halloween. If you haven’t had one in a while, you’ll be surprised at the smile they put on everyone’s face.

Roast Chicken with Spicy Green Sauce

The spicy green sauce featured in this roast chicken recipe fits the green, orange, and black Halloween aesthetic without added coloring.

Rum Buttermilk Butterfinger Cake

No matter your stance on Halloween candy, this Buttermilk Cake with Rum Buttermilk Frosting transcends any no-sugar illusions you might be harboring. It is delicious and homey, even as it tickles the taste buds in intriguing ways. Who knew that buttermilk and spice rum could combine in such a delightful way?

Grab Your Next Meal From a Pittsburgh Food Truck

Food trucks travel all across America, bringing new tastes and dishes to food-lovers. In Pittsburgh, several food trucks circulate the city at different breweries, markets, and events. They carry various cultures right to the streets and parking lots of the cities, providing easy access to cultural cuisine. The food trucks of Pittsburgh provide citizens with a different way to enjoy meals and with quick timing, too. 

Caribbean Vybz

Authentic Jamaican cuisine is flavorful, homely, and fills the soul. Caribbean Vybz brings all these elements to customers through their spicey curry, tasty jerk chicken, and pan-fried plantains. Each dish comes with steamed cabbage, coconut rice, and peas to make it a proper Jamaican family meal. 

Blue Sparrow

The truck is permanently parked at Dancing Gnome Brewery, where you can delight in globally inspired foods. Blue Sparrow is known for their specialty wood-fired pizzas that combine flavors like roasted wild mushrooms and roasted garlic citrus oil in the Fungus Amongus pizza. Besides pizza, the menu includes dumplings and handheld sandwiches with the same global infusions.

Mr. Bulgogi

Korean BBQ has come to Pittsburgh on the side of the road. Get Korean marinated beef over rice with fresh fried dumplings. Or maybe you’d prefer a vegan option of marinated tofu over rice with a side of kimchi. No matter what you choose, make sure to finish with a traditional dessert of Hotteok, a deep-fried sweet pancake.

Pittsburgh Tortas

A torta is a crunchy sandwich made with crusty bread and an array of toppings. The sandwich is served hot or cold and is the staple of Pittsburgh Tortas. Try fried eggplant, grilled chicken, pork, or shredded beef packed with cheese, sauce, and plenty of veggies. All tortas are served with a side of homemade chips, so you’re sure to leave full.

Revival Chili

Gourmet chili is the perfect dish for when the temperatures dip, and now you can get it from a food truck. Revival Chili moves around all of Pittsburgh in a cabin-shaped trailer. Order a classic chili for a traditional experience with all the fixings. Or, try something new with their Chili Con Pollo featuring chicken or their Godfather Chili over rice and cornbread. 

Haskel’s Delicatessen

A Jewish deli on the go answers your sandwich wishes. This truck has Pastrami on Rye and Fried Chicken Schnitzel ready for lunch or dinner. Plus, add on a side of falafel, potato latkes, or humus and pita to get a variety of flavors in one meal. Finally, finish up with a homemade pickle spear. It’s a staple of any deli. 

Stunt Pig

Stunt Pig takes BBQ to an elevated level with their locally smoked and cured meats. The Mr. Orange includes smoked and pulled chicken with spicy piri piri sauce and cucumbers, all topped with chimichurri aioli. It’s one of their signature sandwiches and can be combined with their deli-style macaroni salad as a side. It’s just one small fraction of the bites available.

Check out the video below, a collaboration between TABLE Magazine and The Andy Warhol Museum‘s Pop District, to discover more tasty food trucks in the city!

Jungle Bird

Two red and orange drinks in hurricane style glasses. Jungle Bird Cocktail

This wild drink of Rum, Campari, pineapple, and lime over ice with garnishes like tiki swizzles and pineapple fronds livens up any gathering. The Jungle Bird cocktail not only gets the party started, but typically looks like one too!

Where Does the Jungle Bird Cocktail Come From?

The Jungle Bird cocktail originates in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the Aviary Bar, a luxury hotel bar at the city’s branch of the Hilton. Jeffrey Ong, the hotel’s beverage manager, mixed the very first one in the 1970s. Curiously, Og, who died in 2019, didn’t drink alcohol himself. He apparently said that he used his nose to smell the aromas, and simply tasted the drinks but did not fully consume them. An impressive feat given how iconic his recipe became! At the original Aviary Bar, you could sip cocktails while looking at actual birds, so they served the drink in a bird-shaped glass. This iteration no longer exists, but the celebratory drink has endured long since its early years in Malaysia. For another take, try the Flyaway from bartender Darelle Canada.

For the cocktail:

For the simple syrup: 

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar over a medium heat, whisking until the sugar completely dissolves. Do not bring to a simmer! You just want to heat through until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  2. Allow the syrup to come to room temperature. Then pour into a container. This Simple Syrup will last a minimum of 2 weeks as is in the refrigerator or if you add a ½ tablespoon of vodka or rum it will last longer.

Pickled Veggie Salad with Mustard Dressing

Are you a lover or a hater of pickled veggie salads? Either way we bet we can win you over with this Pickled Veggie Salad featuring Mustard Dressing. The earthy, sweet-yet-tart zing of pickled beets and other cold weather vegetables like cauliflower is loved by many, though admittedly not all. If you’re on the love-it side of this fence, pick up some pickled beets and stone-ground mustard from The Pickled Chef, and plate up a healthy, beautifully flavorful winter salad. The infusion of vitamins, minerals, and deliciousness is good for you! Try adding some pickled cauliflower too.

What is Stone-Ground Mustard?

Stone-ground mustard often offers a distinct flavor profile compared to its store-bought counterparts. Crafted through a traditional method of grinding mustard seeds between stones, this artisanal mustard retains its natural oils and complex flavors. The result is a mustard that is both smooth and robust, with a depth of flavor that elevates any dish. We use it to compliment the dressing and add a silky texture to the salad. But, you can use stone-ground mustard as a condiment, a marinade, or an ingredient in a recipe like we do below.

Often the cooler weather means a switch to hot food and desserts. But our easy Twix No Bake Cake recipe, which doesn’t require you to turn on the oven, is a sweet treat you’ll find yourself turning to again and again throughout the year. Although, the Halloween season is an especially good time to whip up this simple Twix cake dessert, since you’ll find candy overflowing grocery aisles, Twix are always on the shelves. It’s really a year-round dessert.

What Makes This Cake No Bake? 

It’s so easy to make this cake. All you’ll need is an electric mixer to put the ingredients together. Rather than baking, this cake will get its shape and texture from a spell in the freezer. So, it’s perfect for a weeknight “baking” project when you don’t feel like turning the oven on.
