Recipe Round Up: Libby Loves Smoothies!

Libby is a shy, quiet girl with a big imagination who lives in a high-rise apartment in the Big City with her best friend, Dish the Cat. She is fond of adventures and fruit smoothies! Here are some faves.

Libby's Adventure Snack: Vegetarian Pemmican

Libby and Dish prepare for Libby’s outing to the city with their Adventure Checklist. All four items — including a Mask of On-and-Off Invisibility and a Shelter Cloak of Safekeeping — serve to provide Libby with everything she needs for the trip.

Sparkle Kitchen: Pastelitos

As Mr. Cortez says in the story, pastelitos hail from Cuba. A cousin to an empanada, they are made by enfolding sweet guava paste and cheese into fluffy pillows of puff pastry. These warm pockets of gooey goodness make a wonderful midday snack or dessert.
