Read Susan's Foodie Lit review of Barbara Hacha's Line by Line. Maddy, a teenager and a hobo, survives the Depression by her wits and the kindness of others. Maddy says after she stops hopping trains, “I’ve been so hungry I could hardly stand up. Never again.” 

Mango-Tango Smoothies

It’s great to start a summer day with a cool smoothie.  The combination of mango and the addition of fresh squeezed orange juice, coconut water and a banana will wake you up.

This smoothie is wonderful for kids too, since it is sweeter and the greens are hidden. Also works fabulously with kale, beet greens and romaine!
